Schnapps' latest is ready - just in time for Halloween! Thank you Lynn for the name. I usually try to stay away from any name that specifies the color, but this just fit so well. Of course, the hat would be lovely in any color you choose to use! This was knit using Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick, which is a super bulky yarn, but the instructions for all yarn weights are included.
Thank you to everyone who has purchased The Play Book or any of my patterns. Hats are continuing to ship to wherever they are needed most.
I can't believe that tomorrow is November 1st already. This year is flying by. Christmas gifts need to be made and yet, every time Schnapps gets some yarn, he's making a hat. There is a huge need this time of year especially for chemo caps of all sorts. Please be sure to make a few to drop off at your local center or to send to me even as you craft your holiday gifts or make that special something for yourself. It means the world to so many.
