Fast and Loose!!

Hats, that is! Get your minds out of the gutter! *g*

I found some LionBrand Bulky Woolease in the clearance bin at
HobbyLobby last week and couldn't pass on it - it *does* have some
wool in it, after all. For the past several days I've been knitting
fast and loose - I dug out my #17 circs, which are a bear when I put
'em on the 16" cable, and I've been making charity hats.

We've had our first "cold snap" with temps in the 40s, and my son has
expressed some concern that the guys standing on street corners with
their "Out of Work, Kids to Feed" signs, which he can't yet read, by
the way, will be cold as none of them he's seen have had caps on.

So I'll be handing a cap to every homeless person I see with a note
signed by my son.

At least until the yarn runs out.

I wish I could find that on sale! I used WoolEase chunky to make a couple
of "helmets" from a patterin in the last issue of Knitters magazine --
they're hats with just the face exposed, and a long yoke that covers the
neck as well, and plan to do the same thing as you are doing with the hats.

I think it's so heartwarming that your son saw those guys standing out there
and thought about them being cold without hats, especially given he can't
read the "out of work" signs. He sounds like a very cool kid!

We call these Balaclavas. The pattern I used 40 years ago for my children
is now out again for use for my grandson)

What a wonderful son you are raising. Seeing that the men need caps. Wish
I could see the note he is making - be sure to save one for him when he is
grown.

PS. Also very nice of you to make the hats.
