I found a really cute hat pattern from this blog
It was nice and easy and finished in one weekend with just catching a moment to knit here and there. I had a really great book to read so if it wasn’t for that the hat might easily have been done in a couple of hours.
So my little boy’s head will be nice and snug now when we go for a walk on a windy day. He had a hat I made a couple of years back but the pattern was of my own creation and I started getting so tired of the sight of it. You can imagine my delight when I discovered it to be lost, last week, which furnished me with the perfect excuse for knitting a new, better one. Of coarse I discovered the old hat while knitting the new but that doesn’t signify as I got rid of it before you could say pom-pom.
This whole winter I’ve been longing for a knit blanket to snuggle under while reading, knitting or sewing on the couch. So I came up with a very obvious idea – to knit one out of all my leftover yarn from previous projects. So I started last week and cast on 30 stitches on size 4 needles working 50 rows using DK (Double Knitting) yarn. With the result of the size of the square I’ll need 70 to make a nice sized blanket for the purpose above mentioned. So here’s the first seven and a bit squares done in a week (which means it’ll take on average 10 weeks to complete, which means it’ll be done mid-November, which means I have plenty of time cause I won’t be needing it anytime during our scorching South African summer).
Hi! I have left a few comments on Andy’s homeschooling site, but it seems as if you have not received them. I have been following your blog for awhile now and I just love your fun and creative posts! So inspiring to see other SA mommies blogging and the creative ideas they have. I wanted to find out where you got the trays from, been searching high and low for suitable trays for tot trays but all of them have these horrible prints on!!
Have a great day!
