I just finished the last of the Christmas gifts for the family, and with very little time to spare. Christmas is just three days away. However, these gifts could have been done between Christmas and New Year's because that is when we are celebrating our family Christmas this year. I just wanted to be done before Christmas so I didn't have to be stressed about getting them finished. I will be having grandchildren here during that time, and I don't want to have to be working on projects while they are here. I will not show the two jackets that I finished because they look just like the other two jackets I made for the other two boys. I finished the hats and a headband that I will show.

| The brown hat is from my own pattern. It is for Tony. I probably should have made it a little longer, but Tony doesn't wear knit hats over his ears, so for him, I think it is fine. The other hat is for Jon. He has a big head and the model head is very small, so the hat looks bigger than it really is. It is the same pattern as I made for Marty, which I showed in an earlier blog. |

| The black hat is for Tom. He has a slouchy because his hair is often quite long and his hair is so thick that he needs a very large hat to fit over the hair. The wide headband on the right is for Tom's girlfriend. Again, because the model head is smaller than a normal head and has no hair, it looks wider than it actually is. However, it is wide enough to make a nice ear warmer, which is what I intended it to be used for. It is from the same pattern as one of the headbands that I made for the fair and was able to sell. I really liked the pattern and the color, so it is exactly the same. |
I will wait until after the new year before I start working on the orders that I got from the fair. I will not take much time off, but I will spend a couple of weeks not knitting.
