I began Amelia’s hat on Friday, grabbing the leftover white wool-ease from the stash (from the kitty bed) and worked the ribbing on the work commute. after work, headed to JoAnns and picked up the Blush color for the slip stitch section. DH recommended I use a color for the stripe, since the pale pink would blend into the white. so I grabbed some of the leftover purple from Lilin’s hat for that. and I have to admit, he was right. I’m currently about half-way thru the slip stitch section of the pattern. The pattern is from the same book as Lilin’s hat - it’s the Candy Dots hat.

JoAnns had a great sale this weekend. On Friday, I picked up the above mentioned Blush yarn, an Embellish Knit tool with a 50% coupon, and an ArbBin needle roll that was in the clearance bin. (figured it might come in handy). Today, I picked up more Wool-Ease in Navy & a blue, and Paton’s Divine in Orange and Black. and some fabric to sew up into non-knitting things, most likely.

in other hat news, BIL’s hat will be Tychus, using LB Wool-Ease in Navy, Blue Heather, White & Charcoal Gray (the white & gray being found in the stash.) Melanie’s hat will be using the Divine and will somehow match last year’s scarf. Eli’s hat will be made with more stash yarn - that random mateless ball of blue sock yarn that was going to get a solid foot.

in WIP news, not much has been happening (aside from adding hats to the list). I really need to get to work on the HP scarf, so DH can wear it to HP4 when it comes out next month. Also need to finish up Eli’s sweater (it is getting cold) and the tank top.

in other shopping news, my final selection from Crafter’s Choice has finally moved from backordered status to shipped. yay. so I ordered the Yarn Harlot’s book. and I ordered a book to give the girls for xmas - I think it’ll fit in nicely with this year’s gift theme. :D
