I really have a problem. When I am worried about the outcome of something, or whether or not I will have enough material to complete a project, I can't stop until I know the results. It was this way with the other two hats that I had to knit for Lois. She wanted me to use all four colors in each of the hats and to stripe them randomly. Well, I can't do anything entirely randomly. I have to put a pattern into my stripes, so each of the hats has a major color with smaller amounts of each of the other colors. Stripe patterns do vary from hat to hat, but I tried to keep the same patterning within each hat, itself. I barely had enough yarn, and did run out of the peach colored yarn for the main color in the last hat. That meant that I had to finish the top of the hat with slightly different patterning than within the rest of the hat. I think it still came out okay, and I hope Lois will be happy with the outcome. Anyway, in just two days, I finished all three hats. I already sent the other hat off this morning, and I will send these two tomorrow. So, another project completed.

| I used a little too much peach in this one and that made it so that I didn't have enough of it to finish the other hat. |

| I like the pattern in this one, but I wish that I had enough of the peach to finish it the same. |

These hats are supposed to be for twins, but she wanted them not to look the same. I think I did okay for that request. The only thing that was to be the same were the four colors.
