FO Friday: End of the Minions













My most recently completed FO is still blocking - so let's travel back in time a little bit, to February when I made 4 more minion hats, all by special request:


    
A Be-do hat for my knitworthy Nurse SIL who works with the police. I have evidence that she wears it, too.



A second hat for my nephew J., who had already outgrown his Xmas one.

He had also asked for an Evil Minion hat for his birthday. What could I do but oblige ?


He told his Mum he'd been ''waiting all my life for this hat''. This boy is the King of Knitworthy.

His Nanny aka my MIL is also knitworthy:


She has said she wants to be buried in it.

Me - I'm burying the thought of more minions. For some reason, I didn't really enjoy the actuality of making these; it was only the fact that such loved ones who were also knitworthy had specifically requested them, and I knew they'd like them.

What with all the gifty knitting I feel like I've been doing this year, I can feel the urge, the siren's call, to make something just for me ....but I have a few more commitments to finish first. Pop over to Tami's Amis to  see what else is complete ....
