{ WIP Wednesday }

Here are my Work In Progress projects this week…

Well I have plenty to work on as far as crochet and Christmas projects!

First off, I am making some Christmas colored Woman’s Hats. I am not sure what I am going to do with them yet! I am thinking I will just put them in the Etsy shop and see what happens. I just love this red and off white color

I caught Hailey trying one on last night. I took a quick picture with my cell phone. It is woman’s size but my little one has a big noggin so it fit her well!

Next I am making two more ear warmers. I get to make these for my two cousins! One is in college and one is in high school. I guess these are really popular! My cousin Kelly picked out what color she wanted over Thanksgiving. I had to order the yarn online so I can’t work on it right away. She picked a really pretty purple color. I am making this sapphire blue one for her sister. Hers is a surprise.

I love making these! The pattern is fun to follow because every row is different.

**Speaking of this pattern, I have been getting a lot of comments and emails about it. I bought this pattern quite awhile ago on Etsy. The designer no longer sells it. She even had it on Ravelry for awhile but I saw she doesn’t sell it there anymore either.  So I am sorry for those of you who want to try it out!

Lastly, I get to make three awesome sock monkey hats! I get to make a boy and a girl one for my niece and nephew for Christmas gifts. I will be using grey with pink and grey with light blue for theirs. Then also I get to make one for my friend Libby’s sweet little boy Noah!  She picked out a pretty off white color for hers. I can’t wait to make these! I have a feeling Hailey will end up with one eventually.

I made this one for my older nephew last year. Now him and his brother and sister will all have one after Christmas! (Hailey was just trying it on)

I also have some other projects I hope to try when I get some orders done. I've got so many Christmas ideas or projects I don’t know if I will be able to do them all! That’s ok though, there’s always next year. I refuse to get overwhelmed and stressed with Christmas stuff.

Have a great day everyone

  1. LOVE the sock monkey hat! I made one of your women's hats last week and it came out really cute! Oh and I have the same issue with my son having a big head...he never fit in baby hats and now wears teen sized hats at age 8!

  5. Those hats are so cute (crochet is stretchy, so I'm sure it'll fit an adult better)...especially the monkey one!
