Just so that no one thinks that there has been any kind of lull in the hat production, here are some more of the hats that have been making their way to London.
These are from the lovely Hilda who lives in the village where the Knitting Retreat is.
Hilda is a fantastic knitter and each one of her hats is decorated differently - ribbon, beads, pompoms, tassles, there's all sorts. And they are all gorgeous. Thank you Hilda!
And then these are the rest of the hats from Sally. Aren't they all really pretty?
So far I think that I have about 140 hats. I think that there are about another 100 or so pledged so I am aiming for a total of 300 hats. So that's likely to be a lot of hat knitting for me once I am done with the knitting shawl. So poor Joy (who I finally got around to ordering, possibly with another kit...) will just have to wait a little.
I have started a new job and so between that and my Myrtle shawl, I haven't really been thinking of the blog much recently. Oh and I am on Ravelry now and have been slightly distracted about that too... Regular blogging should resume here soon.

Posted by: Maggie at July 27, 2007 05:38 PMI'm still knitting hats :-) When do they need to be in by?
Posted by: Diane at July 23, 2007 06:44 PMamelia... I am jealous of you and that Joy sweater... I want to make it badly but not in a kit! :)
you and your Kim Hargreaves purchases and style you wear them in... make me envious :)
and if I can get my act together I might just knit again- a hat or two :)
The hats are wonderful, and it's great to see you back here! I'll look you up over in Ravelry land, too.

I have about 25 done right now. Halfway to my goal! I should ship them off to you part way through August, so they'll be able to get there by the end of that month.
