Yarn Along




Last week I had just started on a hat for one of the kids, but was so inspired by this blog and this hat pattern that I frogged the hat and started over. I was able to finish it all up over the weekend and I must say I love it. I actually finished the hat that is just started in this photograph, i finished it up Monday while we lazed about the house. Although I am happy with how the hat was knitted, I am really not liking the colorway of the yarn, it knitted up a bit camo, which I was not really going for. Still I think my son will like it. I am working on the last hat for the kids right now and I am really excited about this one too. I am going to try and close it off with a sort of pinwheel look on top with tassels on each corner.
While at the library the boys and I picked out a few books, on called "OK, Go!" We really like it, the art inside is very cool and although I didn't know it when I picked the book it is an environmental book too.
I am really enjoying being part of the Yarn Along started by Small Things. So many great ideas!

I was going to say that the colours look lovely but I guess it depends on how they knit together in your pattern....

I always find it so difficult to image how a multicoloured yarn will knit or crochet up from looking at it in a ball. And have found that some I don't like knitted up, actually look fantastic crocheted.

I'm sure it will just perfect for a little boy, despite best intentions they just seem to be drawn to camo!!
