A little late to the party today but you know what they say... Anyway, I have a few finished projects and one on the needles but all I managed to take a picture of this week was one of the finished Aviatrix hats I knitted for my daughter. As you can see in the second picture, it is a little small and I think I should have knit the 4+ size instead of the 2-4 years size (she is almost 3 but she is big for her age, the same size as her 4 y0 cousin in fact). Or maybe I should have just added one more short row section, hmm... I will have to try again. I will probably use the same yarn since this only took one skein and I have 4 left. It is 100% baby alpaca I picked up at a crazy craft sale in Minneapolis a couple years ago. It is so buttery soft and not at all itchy. I wish I would have bought more. I have been reading mostly blogs but also "The Temperament God Gave You", which my husband also read (well some of it). It is a short and good read that has shed some light on why my husband and I interact in some ways repeatedly with no good outcomes from these interactions. I think it will help us change the way we relate to each other or at least understand each other better.
And, just because I love this picture I am adding a cute fat Christmas baby picture to this post.
Go join Ginny for more Yarn Along fun!
What a cutey! Both your children are. The hat is lovely - such a bright nice color. Did your daughter like it or so-so about it? Can't quite tell from her picture. I know when I knit something for my children and one is so-so about it, it's sort of a let down. The book sounds interesting - I'll have to look it up at the library.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the hat. The color is beautiful. I'm going to add this to my Ravelry queue! The baby is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind comments! :) My daughter seems to be thrilled when I knit things for her when I am in the process of knitting them. Then, when they are done, she just sort of moves on. She does wear it though, so that is a good sign. I decided not to get let down if she doesn't seem to appreciate her knitted gifts because someday, perhaps when she has babies of her own, I think she will remember that I used to knit for her and will maybe appreciate it then.
ReplyDeletecute fat baby!! reminds me of Silas :) oh, and lovely hat of course!
ReplyDeleteWhen I see pictures of Silas I think the same thing! I thought it was just me... :) I love fat babies which is good because both of mine have been chunky.
