Last week’s goals, with progress noted:
Do my copy edit of the patterns and send them off to Becky.Get the fancy camera out (and find a memory card for it) and take picture of the Gir hat & the secret project.It was actually Ky who took some better pictures of them. I also downloaded & cleaned up Brandon’s inspiration drawing for inclusion in the patterns.Finish the back hem of The Green Wood.Started both fronts; got them both to the point past the short row section where I can knit them at the same time.- Clean up the spinning wheel & spin, even if it’s just for 15 minutes.
Finish the Luchadore Mask Balaclava for Ethan. I’m making hats for all 3 of my boys; Brandon asked for the Gir hat, Ethan asked for a Luchadore Mask, and Henry is still deciding.Henry also decided: there was a failed PS4 controller hat. I’ve asked him to come up with something else as a PS4 controller hat is a job for sewing & embroidery, not knitting.
This week’s goals:
- Clean up the spinning wheel & spin, even if it’s just for 15 minutes. For real this week.
- Come up with some hat ideas to suggest to Henry, like making him a Jayne hat & more.
- Continue with the fronts of The Green Wood.
- Last week I also decided on some of the hats I’m making for my furry crowd, so this week I’d like to finalize them and get started on at least one.
- Eevee (kitty): Shark fin hat because she’s like a furry piranha but I don’t think I’m up to making a piranha (what would that even look like?) so shark fin it is.
- Jeff (kitty): Mohawk? Unicorn?
- Lily (small dog): Bunny ears.
- Moose (big dog): Mohawk? Unicorn? (Clearly I’d like to make a mohawk hat and a unicorn hat for two of them.)
Little Golden Notebook 
Good luck! My plans are just to finish the last mermaid tail then I’m never making another one. 4 in 2 months is too much for me!

I am so looking forward to hats for pets! How will you manage to make them stay on the cats long enough to take a picture?

That’s a very good question. If I suddenly stop posting, they probably took revenge on me.
(In all seriousness: the patten I’m going to use has earholes and fastens under their jaw. I can only hope this combination will mean that they’ll actually stay on long enough for me to get a picture. The dogs are much dopier and probably won’t even realize there’s something on their head.)

If it works it could be the incentive I need to improve my knitting skills pretty quick! dogs are generally more amenable to this sort of thing. I tried making a ‘halo’ once from glittery pipe-cleaners for one of the cats, but it was an epic fail.
