We are already losing leaves around here, and the morning walk to school is a little chilly. The walk home in the afternoon is still pretty hot, but not for long.
I’m still working on hats so I’m ready when the snow starts to fly. This one is for me. It’s a little smaller than the last purple striped hat. On this one I just used the purple for the ribbing at the bottom. It fits, so I’m extra pleased about that.
I also made this pink one for Lulu. When she first saw the yarn, she asked for mittens, but decided a hat would be all right since I didn’t know how to make mittens. I was given specific instructions that she didn’t want the hat to get in her eyes. So we were both happy when it fit perfectly. Then I found a simple pattern and surprised her with one finished mitten. It also fit and the mate will be in production soon. She is thrilled. I am too because they are made of wool, but it’s not too scratchy for her . It’s a merino wool by malabrigo. It is very soft, but she really loves the color. I think there might be a little mind over matter at work here.
