I was planning on sharing this project with you over the weekend but obviously it wasn't a high priority at the time so I'm sharing now. It's using the Flamboyance yarn I blogged about on thursday in the Sky High colourway
I'm using the Sockhead hat pattern which is basically 4 inches of ribbing followed by miles and miles of stockinette. Very good project for knitting on when you're worried and can't concentrate very much
The colours are knitting up really nicely although it's not quite as blue as it looks in this photo. I'm looking forward to having this hat to wear when the weather is colder
Today was my big girl's first day at Middle School. She looks alarmingly grown up and smart. My boys went back to school today as well but my youngest girl doesn't start until Thursday. It's going to be so quiet having the house to myself! I've got lots of projects planned to keep me busy though :-)
Have a good week everyone
Your daughter looks so cute! If only our schools had uniforms. The dress code is a constant problem!
ReplyDeleteI do love that yarn, even if it's not quite that blue.
How on Earth does a cat sustain bruised lungs? I hope her recovery is coming along.
Thanks :) The vet said the injury is probably caused by "trauma" so it could be she was hit by a car, fell off something or even was kicked. She doesn't have any other marks to suggest how it happened so it's a bit of a mystery
Deleteso sorry about your cat :( but sounds like health is on the way! Your daughter looks so proud to be in middle school, what a beauty!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, she's definitely improving quickly
DeleteI'm sorry to hear you cat as been so unwell, I'm glad she is on the mend. Kids certainly grow up fats don't they xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, me too. It's crazy isn't it
DeleteMy gosh, she is a cutie and so business professional chic. I can't believe she is in middle school now? I'm sorry to read about your cat; I'm not on IG anymroe so I had no idea. How did she get bruised lungs? Is that genetics of her breed or did she have some kind of accident? I like the hat! I like the idea of using variegated sock yarn for a light beanie.
ReplyDeleteWe think she had some sort of accident, whether that was a car, a fall or even a kick. It caused air to leak into her chest cavity which the vet had to drain off. She was so poorly :-(
DeleteI thought the sock yarn would work well for a simple hat pattern, I'm enjoying how it's knitted up so far
How horrible for her. She is a fighter.
DeleteHope your cat is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter looks very smart. My son went back to year 3 on Thursday, but my little man doesn't start until next Monday! Love the colour you are using for your hat.
Thank you :) That's quite a difference in starting dates, hope they have fun
DeleteI hope that your cat is making a good recovery and will be OK. I hope too that your children enjoyed the start of new and return to old schools. xx
