I’ve always wanted to knit for charity, but most of them ask for “real wool” or at least “natural fibers” and my  budget usually doesn’t allow for those.
Last week I realized I do have real wool. A lot of it actually, since the mountain of yarn I bought two years ago is still not gone.
So I started knitting hats for Nest Maine
I started with a hat using that special stitch from the shawl I made.

And then I made a simple hat

and another one from Soulemama’s pattern.

There was some white wool too. So another Soulemama hat was made.

And one more of .the special stitch hat.

That makes five hats for Nest. Let’s see if I can keep up with Amanda…

I like that special stitch on the shawl so much that I’m using it for a different project now. More on that later…

Well there it is. Big and green and warm. I loved the special stitch and I really like this shawl a lot better than the blue one.
But I’m not sure if I’m ever going to wear it…
