cold heads, warm hats
The sum total of my "holiday" knitting:
Only one of these hats is actually a gift for xmas; the others are simply hats for people I care about (one of them Peter) who need warm heads and happen to be getting these around this traditional gift-giving time.
Left to right: the Shaker Rib Hat (free pattern) by Bonne Marie Burns in Manos del Uruguay, for an undisclosed recipient; 2 x 2 rib hat (no pattern) for Peter in Queensland Collection Kathmandu Aran, which is gorgeous, chosen by him and also pretty much identical to the Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran that he chose for his sweater a few years ago (I suspect it's even the exact same yarn with a different label); the Cozy Cabled Toque (free pattern) by Jae Steele in Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride bulky, for an undisclosed recipient.
Each of these hats used less than a full skein or ball of yarn. Remind me again why I ever knit anything other than hats?

Because hats tend to be difficult to wear anywhere other than your head. ;-)

I like the variations in color and texture - these work very well, and I know the recipients will appreciate them. I hope you had a nice holiday, J~
