OK, well the temperature has finally dropped and I got the first official cold chills of the season this morning. Luckily, I have a new knit hat to keep my little cranium warm. I used the Le Slouch pattern from knit and tonic and I love  it! I had never  knit in the round before, and I learned the great technique of using a Magic Loop. I also learned the seed stitch which is knit one, purl one and then always knitting in a purl stitch, and purling in a knit stitch. It really turned out beautifully despite some of my mistakes.

Here I am modeling my new creation!

And here is my baby modeling it. He looks like a very moody artist huh? He’s been a very grumpy, snotty mess since he’s cutting some new teeth in. Poor guy.

On another note, I’m working on a new project I’m very excited about. You’ll be hearing about it in the next month or so, but in case my posting slows, that’s probably why!
