One last post for the 2021 year, almost at the wire. Might as well let it be for the mutsjes/little hats that round out the year!
Speaking of which, the 2021 mutsjes donated to Innocent smoothies for charity (helping seniors in need) were due by the end of November. These next two batches were the last I donated for the 2021 year:
You can tell these little hats were from socks I made for me, myself and I,
now that I'm remembering to show the matching photo.
These were made from self-striping yarn in our communal stash.
I LOVE how they remind me of babies.
All in all, I ended up with 151 mutsjes donated to charity from 2021,
and because I didn't start until July, that's almost one mutsje per day. YAY!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Now begins the 2022 year in December, with my goal to make 300 mutsjes by the end of next November:
Self-striping yarn from the communal stash.
I tried light, medium and dark brims to mix it up a bit.
More self-striping yarn from the communal stash, which I love.
In this case, I found the green and gold solid-colored yarn, again from the communal stash.
You can't tell but they both have a gold, sparkly thread running through it.
Using the same green and gold yarn as in the previous collage,
I tried to make my own patterns, using white and red yarn to spruce it up.
It felt a bit more festive for this time of the year.
Now I'm back to my own Scheepjes yarn that does weird self-striping patterns.
It's my least favorite yarn but I want to use it up.
Last but not least, here's a loner from a scrap of communal yarn I found intriguing.
I'm glad it yielded only one because those colored flecks made knitting it hard.
Still, it makes for a perfect year-end splash, don't you think!
Speaking of which,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
That last hat looks like confetti or fireworks. Perfect for end of year. However, what you did from July onward was all perfect! Love these little hats!
ReplyDeleteThank you for following me on this journey, Marie. It means a lot to me!
DeleteI really Like the last one, that is a perfect ending of another "crazy" year. It is fun to see how all the mutsjes have a theme and are so wonderfully colour-coordinated. It is fun to see how you come up with every time another theme.
ReplyDeleteGreat series of pictures again. IHVJ.
Happy New Year.
You're always my biggest fan, Astrid, because you are so much a part of the process, especially since you have to hold the wrapped yarn for me when I make the pompoms. HA! I couldn't do it without you. THANK YOU.
DeleteWat zijn ze allemaal weer leuk en je laatste is echt het perfecte "slotstuk" van 2021.
ReplyDeleteJullie een goede jaarwisseling en een heel gezond gelukkig 2022 toegewenst.
Hartstikke bedankt, Marjolein. It always means a lot to me that you follow these posts. Here's to many more to come from both of us in the new year to come!
DeleteAll so beautiful! And that last one is intriguing! I’m amazed at how many you have finished!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ruth. So far so good on keeping up with the knitting. It's quite therapeutic for me, I must say, especially knowing I'm getting rid of my own stash. HA!
DeleteThey look like little New Years cakes. Happy New Year to both of you. May 2022 get us out of the ruts.
ReplyDeleteLittle hats that are little cakes! How fun is that, Ted. I love the idea. And, yes, I find myself quite optimistic that 2022 will be a much better year on many levels. Happy New Year to both you and Jane!
DeletePerhaps you should make cakes to match the hats and sell both???
DeleteHAHAHA! Now THAT would be a first, Ted!!! :)
DeleteAdorable!
ReplyDelete��Happy New Year!��
Oh, thank you, Robin. And Happy New Year to you and Bob. I'm really optimistic that things WILL be better this new year!
