This past week, I got to visit a lot of family and give away all of the Bindle Hats and some other knitwear. I also found a good model.

Good Model For Knitwear

My nephew Jake has the opposite effect that I do with hats. He makes them look good when he wears them.

Given that he lives in New England, the thick, plushy Bindle Hat was a perfect choice in every way. Warm, colorful and well-fitting, the hat works on many levels.

Over this past week, I ended up giving away eight Bindle hats, a pair of fingerless gloves, and two shawls. I also got to see my mom, and my two sisters and their families. All eight Bindle Hats looked good (if I do say so myself) on their recipients. A very satisfying project that I highly recommend.

Current Knitting

I had to put the striped pullover project aside again. Turns out that the fingerless gloves I gave away had some issues. They were falling apart. Despite trying to mend one issue, they seemed to have other issues as well. I’m knitting the recipient a new pair.

I think I’m going to have to make another garter-striped scarf as well. I gifted one a month ago and it got some admiration from a co-worker. Both projects are relatively quick knits, so I should be back to the pullover in the next week or two.
