Hats, Mittens & Scarves, Oh My!

November 11th, 2012 by Kendra | Posted in General News |

Here in Maine the first snow fall came upon us last week. In years past it has been known to elicit a long drawn out “ohhhhh…” thinking of the all the snow shoveling, trips to the woodshed and other various hassles associated with the white stuff. Not this year. I’m taking the lead from my kids who awoke to a blanket of snow across our yard and said “oh, my!”. No doubt they were thinking of skiing, snowmen, sledding and all the other terrific things that can only be done in this glorious thing called snow.

So with a smile on my face we unearthed all our hats, mittens, scarves, socks and other woolen goods. Another “oh, my”, this time from me, as my mind was flooded with happy memories. Talk about a treasure chest. With each hat or set of mittens I saw a little face or set of hands(or not so little any more) and remembered a happy time gone by. Think of the warmth, for head, hands and most importantly the heart.

So with new found inspiration, I’m anxious to add to this pile. There are some favorite patterns I will call upon again and again and just freshen up with new yarns or color combinations, like Alpine Topper hat pattern, The Family Favorite Hat and Snow Country Felt Mittens, but there are also some new patterns I’m itching to try. I’ll share a few old and new. Who knows, you just might be as inspired as I. Think of the memories yet to come!
