I've been having fun stashbusting and whipping out more azalea hats (free child's hat pattern!) for the orphanage in Kenya ... remember that I promised to report back on whether or not you could yield two hats from one skein of Lion Brand Hometown USA? The answer is: nope. It takes about 2/3 a skein for one hat ... so you can yield three hats from two skeins, to be precise. I've also been experimenting with the finishing on this last set. I wanted to try a pom pom for this more "boy" color (Little Rock Granite) and below is the effect when you cast off instead of making the i-cord top.
One more to go! Then I will have officially depleted the Lion Brand Hometown USA left in my stash ...

Excellent way to destash! I have no idea how the children will feel about the hats because I'm not "cool" or "hip" anymore, but I know I would be happy to own one!
