In January, I was confronted by the size of my stash. It was overwhelming. I decided that something needed to be done about it. And the Hat-a-thon Challenge was born. A group of us are having a marathon of hat making in February.
A full marathon is 26
hats. Others will be taking part in the half marathon, and there is a
third group are taking part in the ‘relay.
My hats will be going to a local charity called ‘Southern
Befrienders’. Elderly people can ask to be paired up with volunteers who
pop in to visit them, normally about once a week. Last Christmas, the
elderly people all received gifts from the organisation. Many received
hand knitted and crocheted items, things like hats, socks, gloves etc.
They were greatly appreciated.
This is my first hat of the hat-a-thon, and my 12th project of the year.
I forgot to add my 11th project. It is a needle holder for my circs. Effectively it is a garter stitch scarf with a point, and D ring at one end, and a pocket for a needle sizer and measuring tape at the other end. That is project 11.
