It’s hard to believe that it’s March – yet it was 25 degrees outside today. Our weather is very unpredictable lately. I mostly certainly am not complaining but it made it really hot and sweaty when I was washing the cars. I don’t miss the snow but my doggie got filthy dirt today. I can tell this weather is going to mean giving him a bath every weekend!
So this winter, I’ve taken up knitting again. I find it really relaxing and what I love about it is that I can pick it up and carry it with me wherever I go. I’ve knit quite a few hats this winter and several pairs of slippers. Right now, I’m starting on a beanie hat for Jory (yes, another one made with cotton thread). I love the feel of the cotton…so I don’t mind.
Here’s a couple of the slippers I’ve made:
And here’s a couple of the hats I’ve made: I’ve gotta say I LOVE making these cable knit hats below. They are fun, quite easy and they are so comfortable to wear. I ended up making myself one in dark grey, and oversized. It’s super warm when I have to take the dog out!
This of course is one of the beanies I made Jory. These are really popular with the teenagers right now. I just finished making a navy blue, orange and white one for Allison, and am working on a denim blue, orange and white one for Jory.
And of course, I made these slippers and hats for Mom and Dad, when i was home sick with a cold. I whipped these up in two days. I’m speed knitter. HA! How do you like them Mom and Dad?? I hope they fit okay and that you are getting good use out of them.
In other news, it’s been almost a month since I quit smoking. :) There is hope for me yet.
