Knitting for the Momma

Adam & Lori's Momma (my mother-out-law) came home from the hospital last night. Her hair's been falling out from the radiation treatment. Since I can knit, I decided I would make her some hats especially for winter. However, I've never even attempted to do circular knitting, and frankly, I'm a little scared. So, Lori hooked me up with some coupons to Joann's and Michaels for 40% off one item. I looked in the ad, and there was also a bag I'd been drooling all over on sale as well.

I went to Joann this morning and picked up these things: 2 skeins of Lion Brand Homespun Yarn in Coral Gables, The Knifty Knitter Round Loom Set With Hook & Bag (I know, it's cheating, but I'd like to get the hat to her before next fall ;), & This huge ass rolling knitting tote. I was able to fit 3 one pound skeins of yarn in there as well as the two homespun skeins (which aren't very big). On the sides, there's compartments for 14" and 8" needles. It's very swanky!

    Those items are great!
    This reminds me, I have to finish my scarf project... I've been so busy.

    I hope your momma (in-law) gets and feels better soon :) She will love the hats you make for her!
