Hats off
I’m on a roll. Hats hats everywhere. Well not really. But I am prone to exaggeration at the best of times.
I finished 2 adorable hats last week for my lovely friends that have the 2 lovely twins. I based them on Jussi’s lovely pattern but changed the tops to have two different i-cords….they reminded me of Snuggle Pot and Cuddle Pie.
I used the lovely Cleckheaton Bamboo, held double, and they came out so smooth and soft.
I have been working on a hat for me for the last few days in, ahem, Patons Smoothie DK. It’s 100% Acrylic. And. It’s lovely. The Colour and the Sheen caught my eye straight away.
I’ll admit. I never thought that I would knit in 100% Acrylic. I don’t mean this in a snobby way. Usually the Acrylic is scratchy and yuck, and I figure with so many other options and time spent on projects I would rather spend a little more money and get some lovely yarn. But I’ve gotta say, I’d happily go back and use this again. I am making my Lina a little longer in the brim so I can turn it up if I want to. Usually me and hats don’t mix but this is such a nice one. I’m prepared to be laughed at in public.
And so. Time for a photo of Hamish ‘cutting’ his toenails.
With his teeth.
Man. If I attempted something like that the kids would have to call the ambulance.
He was giving me a cuddle the other day, and suddenly he sat up and looked at me with wonderment in his eyes.
Mum! I can hear your LINGS!
(This photo with full baby teeth on show makes me realize he may look like he’s 7 but he’s not even 6 yet)(Love it).
