Hat Trick
Life is the first gift, love is the second, and understanding the third.

Guess what I've been doing today? Wrapping Christmas presents! Before you think I'm crazy early, let me remind you that I have a December 1st mailing deadline to get to a certain someone in Iraq. And I like to be early. And don't you think he needs an Advent package, too? That should go out next week, most likely.
And once I got started . . . So let's look at a few of the presents for folks who don't really read the blog.
Tell me, since I seem not to be able to judge, are these suitable for men, or are they very feminine? Welt Cap x2
Pattern: Welt Cap from the Green Mountain Spinnery Pattern Book
Yarn: Mountain Mohair remnants from their remnant bin, and leftover from earlier projectsNeedles: US7 circs
Notes: I'm totally in love with this hat pattern. Easy. Way more entertaining than it should be. And great for leftovers.
Best Thing About This Project: Busting the stash.
Odessa
Pattern: Odessa by Grumperina
Yarn: KnitPicks Ambrosia, sadly discontinued, a DK-weight blend of lovely softness
Needles: US5
Notes: I decided to try bead knitting for the first time, and it was fun! Great pattern.
Best Thing About This Project: The perfect use for this yarn!
More stash-busting projects coming this week!

The black cap is totally masculine enough. Not so much on the blue one though. :) Love the pink beaded hat, very cute. Love SC
Hmm, I was thinking the opposite as knitting up north voted :)
I think it depends on the man. And the color of his coat. And wether that's a red stripe or a pink one in the black hat. :D Love the Odessa - beads are fun!
Love all the hats! The first two would be good for a man or woman. It's a unisex pattern in my opinion and the colors you chose will work for guys.
The welted caps look unisex in the colors you chose.
I think they are unisex too. They look great- all of them!
I agree that the hats looks pretty unisex, although the black one looks a bit more masculine to me.
They are all really nice though, and I love all the stashbusting.
