Mandy! oh! Mandy!

Do you remember the song? How could you forget??? Barry Manilow! LOVE his music - sing it all the time! So my son has a girlfriend named Mandy! He asked me to make her a scarf. He said she likes green.



I do NOT like green!!! But I decided to surprise her with a hat as well - my second hat.



Sure hope she like them!!! If not, she can always sing the lyrics.......

Crying in the night
The night goes into
Morning, just another day...


Just another day, just another scarf and hat! I really have to put an end to this!

But first, I have to make one for my sister who didn't get one yet! LOLOL!!!

More than scarves

I've been promoted!!! I am now making hats to go with all the scarves. I made this set for Kerry's daughter.....and I think she really liked it! I have to admit, it looked so cute on her that I might just have to make a set for myself!


And I will confess that I did not start with the easiest type of yarn (full of bumps and knots) nor the easiest pattern (I used 4 strands of yarn with a # 15 needle).


And I ran out of yarn....so I had to learn how to switch colors.  If you must know....I did this wrong 4 times and then decided to read the directions and got it right!  LOL!!!


But it turned out absolutely perfect and it will keep her warm (she lives/works up in the mountains).  Yes, I do think I'll have to make a few more hats.  I know, I know....where are the mittens???
