Knitting Boy



Wow!

Knitters are saucy!

This hat pattern is featured in "Hot Right Now" on Ravelry (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ola-3)

I might sell some cowl patterns if I'd thought to photograph it like this :-)

Why Did We Think This Would be Fun?

We pulled out a 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle last weekend. As of today, we still have 1,750 pieces to put in the puzzle. This thing is seriously HARD. Kirdy, we need you!

Prairie Progress and a New Pattern

I ditched the blue/purple shawl I was knitting and started the Eden Prairie shawl. So far it's looking good.

I also just finished creating a pattern for this cowl which Pia photographed for me. Hoping some knitters like the pattern and I sell a few!

We Did NOT See This in Scotland

And I'm sad. These Shetland Ponies in hand knit sweaters are the models for this year's tourist campaign.

Bundled Up

Cara is modeling all the projects I finished today plus my Advent lace scarf. She looks like someone's Russian granny. I like it.

Mail

I got a cute thank you note in the mail today from Miss Hadley and her mama. Megan is a world champion thank you note writer, and she's passing on this excellent habit to her kids. Miss Manners would be so proud. And excellent training from Zaide!

Megs, I hope Hads actually enjoys the Nat Geo kids mag when they finally start arriving. I imagine I could have just signed her up for junk mail catalogs and she'd be happy to be getting mail lol. But it is a cute magazine for little guys, the boys love getting their issues. And who doesn't love a surprise in the mail?
