Sneaky scarf
I'm supposed to be knitting socks so how did a scarf sneak in here?
The scarf is here because I'm getting a little tired of knitting socks. Plus, I found this yarn on clearance at JoAnn's Fabrics last Saturday. It's Reminiscence by Debbie Mumm in the Moss colorway. I wanted a mindless pattern so I cast on 27 stitches and am just doing a simple seed stitch. I like it so far.
Each skein has something like 85 yards and I only bought 3 skeins so I'm afraid it's going to be a little short. I would go back and get more but we are leaving on vacation on Sunday and I'm not sure I have time to get up there. If I have the trailer packed, I might sneak up on Saturday.
I posted three different socks-in-progress in my last post and what socks am I working on right now? Why this pair, course.
Regia 6 Crazy Colors on US 2.5 (3 mm)needles. The first sock was started Sunday and I have 2 inches left on the foot and then the toe. They are knitting up so much faster than any of the other socks I have going. I just need to finish one pair of adult socks and then I'll go back to the others.
Here is the photo of the finished toddler socks that I finished for my July SAM 6 socks.
They will probably go to charity.
And one more FO picture to post. I made a chemo hat for the 16 year old daughter of my dog's groomer. She is in remission right now which is a good thing.
I made the Utopia Hat by Smariek in Lion Brand Cotton Ease. I love the bright pink color. My hat model is a flower vase turned upside-down which is the reason it's a strange head shape.
That's it for now. As I said earlier, I am going to be gone next week and there isn't any wi-fi at the campground so I'll be a little quiet. Unless, of course, I find someplace with free wi-fi. Then you might here from me.

Hi! Your pink hat looks like a good match for the Log Cabin socks...in both color and pattern. Everything you've got going on looks fabulous. Enjoy!
Nice job on the hat, both the knitting and the color! Am enjoying your blog, and all the wonderful photos.
I love the Utopia hat! Too cute!
