Whim knitting

I love this time of year for many reasons... Christmas with the family, Staying at home - nesting, Crisp, cold weather under a big blue sky, Great meals, Reading good books. Being able to knit whatever I desire. I rummage through Ravelry like I did the Sears and Roebuck Christmas Catalog as a kid. It provides hours of entertainment.... "Maybe I'll knit this." "No, I want to knit this next." "This would be just perfect!" Then it's off to the stash bin to see just what I can plunder! The projects that I do after Christmas usually are small and quick. And this year is no exception. I've been looking at Jared Flood's Turn a Square Hat for sometime and now just seemed like the right moment to knit it up. The striped yarn is a little bright but what I had in the stash. The hats were fast to knit up, took very little yarn and will be warm for the recipients!
