I think I’m safe

I’m pretty sure no one from work reads this blog so I think I’m safe sharing what I have done so far on my office Christmas knitting.

My plan was to knit mitts that coordinate with these hats that I made last year. 

Office hats

I still have one navy mitt to knit then another pair to coordinate with the striped hat in the upper left.  I’m not sure how I want to do that final pair.  These are knit in the round so any colorwork will also go around.  Maybe bold stripes around the main hand part?

There are still ends to weave in but I’m making headway.

Bling challenged

Last night I tried to sew sequins on the cupcake hats for some added bling.

45 minutes later I had 4 done.

Since this are on knitting, each one has to be sewn on individually and knotted.   I can’t go from one to another as on woven fabric as this has be able to stretch.

The invisible thread is invisible.  My aging eyes and the artificial light just make it more challenging.

I don’t want to buy anything else and I’m running out of time so I may have to rethink this idea.

No bling

This afternoon I tried to add some bling to the cupcake hats.  The only thing I could think of was seed beads.  Or should that be “were”?  Anyway I sewed a few seed beads on one hat to see what it looked like. 

It was cute but when I tried it on, the beads dug into my head.

So no bling on the cupcake hats.  Unless you have another suggestion…

They will be gifted this coming Saturday.
