just in the nick of time!

just before Jaedyn was born i figured out how to crochet baby hats. i made her a good bunch and then decided she probably has enough to get her through the winter (and if not i'll happily oblige) but they are very cute and easy i wanted to keep going. i also decided that i had enough bits of yarn stashed away and if i wanted new yarn (which i really really do) then i needed to find a way to use up this old yarn first. so i set a goal for myself.... 10 baby hats by the new year to be donated to a hospital.

this was a pretty easy deal for me to keep as about 2 months ago we started watching ALL of the past LOST (aka greatest show of all time) episodes in preparation for the series ending season starting in February. it's hard for me to just sit mindlessly in front of the TV so i picked up my crochet hook and started making these hats. i played around with little tassel tops, ear flaps, stripes, different sizes. it ended up being very educational for me!
as of 10:30pm Dec 31st i finished hat #10!! i found this site that lists hospitals who accept baby donations and our local hospital happens to be on the list. easy enough!
