It's the first yarn along of 2012...and what am I making? A hat for my newest nephew! He was born Monday January 2nd. I hope it's not itchy...it feels like a nice soft wool.
I got this wool yarn while on a trip to Kentucky in May. 
Honestly I haven't been yarning too much lately...I've been sewing. I am working on Christmas skirts for Hannah & Olivia, using this free pattern: http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/tutorial-circle-skirt.html. Twirly skirts...we celebrate the Nativity of Christ this coming Saturday!I'm sipping some ginseng peppermint tea and eating marzipan stollen (just got it for $1.99 at Trader Joe's and it's vegan) this morning.
What a handsome little man!! I am sure the hat will be perfect for him, and in such a great color :) And it is especially fitting during this crazy cold winter weather!!
ReplyDeletecute hat, and cute nephew, congratulations
ReplyDeleteI love the color and the hat will be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteMy brother has the same birthday :)
Aww, such a cutie! I love to knit for little ones and it's the perfect season for it!
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet baby! Don't you just love making something for a newborn? I think I need to stop by for snack time. Yours sounds wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new little nephew! Nice to have a boy in the mix (spoken by a mom of boys!) I'm sure the hat will be perfect for him.
ReplyDeletex, Val
oh so adorable. the hat will be perfect i'm sure. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my blog! I definitely want to finish this cardigan asap ,we'll see if he will actually wear it come the time ;) Mama knits are sometimes "uncool" although he is only 3,5 years old. You have to get them when they're young, then the have nothing to say about it ;) Love the color on the yarn for your nephews hat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little babe!
