It’s Fall and I’m Knitting

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!

Super cute! Did it take you long? I need to learn how to knit.
Thanks for the inspiration! I’ve been knitting leg warmers and have wanted to deviate from the boring ribbed pattern I’m stuck on. I’m going to try that seed stitch; it looks great on your hat!
Thanks ladies!
@Jes As with all my knit projects, I work on it off and on over a couple of weeks, and I am NOT one of those speedy knitters. It could probably done in a few evenings if you go at my pace. YouTube is awesome if you want to learn to knit there are tons of videos on there that will teach you the basics. Good luck!
Ok, I know the poor little guy is very sad and frustrated, but he totally cheered me up. Something about the pure emotion brings out joyful humanity in him!
@Michelle Oh I know, I have to chuckle sometimes when he cries like that. He’s still pretty cute, even when he’s sad. :-)
That face is priceless!
Wahnsinn! So eine Story hätte ich niemals für denkbar gehalten :-)
