HOLIDAY BAZAAR TIME and GARDEN COLOR

If you haven't noticed it's that time again.  Holiday time, and that means Eagles Holiday Bazaar.  K will take my knitting to the Eagles Hall next week.  I have everything finished and tagged.  Here are a few of my last minute projects.  The black, gray, and white scarf is made with two yarns knit together.  Any simple knit pattern would do for a scarf like this. It would look smashing on a black coat.

This hat is version of Grammy's Hats found at the Tanis Fiber Arts site.  What happy hats and mittens for everyone. Don't miss this site.

  • This terrific hat was also made with two yarns held together to make a bulky yarn.  The pattern can be found here:

     
    This brown hat pattern can be found here:
    http://lookmayrascreations.blogspot.com/2011/11/cable-knit-hat.html  It's knit in the round with lots of cables.  It was fun to knit.

    Here's my knitted projects in the going-to-the-bazaar bin.  This is about a year's worth of knitting give or take a few projects that I've made for other charities and for family.   It makes me feel good to know that people will be receiving my knitting as Christmas gifts. 

    I can't have a blog without a little about the garden.  The weather has been quite chilly at night, but the garden continues to flourish.  Roses and chrysanthemums add gorgeous color.  Today Master Gardener, D, raked leaves from the back yard - a nice pile of yellow and gold.  Thousands more to come, front and back yards.  Spring will be very exciting as there are crocus, tulips, more bulbs hidden in pots and in the ground.  More spectacular garden pics to come. 

    Can't beat Mother Nature's flair for color combinations.  Fantastic!!  Knit and crochet on, everyone.  If you can't needlework , you can appreciate and enjoy the work of others.
