The Sick Wee One

Here is Easton last week in his jammies. We spent the morning in the living room, me knitting & Easton playing the Wii. While he was not feeling well he wanted me nearby always. Needless to say I knitted the entire hat that morning. The pattern is Armando and a really simple knit. It would show off the pattern better in a solid yarn, but I wanted to use this handspun that was gifted to me. The fiber was Romney and it was from Hello Yarn's fiber of the month club. The colorway is Alpine, I love blue and brown together. I am going to pick up stitches on the sides and knit earflaps for it as it needs to be a bit longer for warmth. This is as long as I could knit it as the handspun ran out. Fun, fast, and easy.....right up my alley.

Here are my completed mystery knit-a-long. Each week there was a clue released starting with the cuff, then leg, then heel, and finally the toe. It was fun to knit and watch everyone's progress. This sock was designed by Kirsten, her blog is Through The Loops. She hosted a KAL last year as well, I love knitting them.
