Well, husband Jason wasn't too thrilled when I wrote that knitting him a sweater would involve "massive amounts of knitting". He said, and I quote- that implies I'm a bit heavy! I tried to console him by letting him know that men's sweaters in general involve massive amounts of knitting, plus there's that whole knitting for your boyfriend/husband curse thing to deal with. Well, he's satisfied with his scarf for now.


I've also done a few hats for child Emerson. One was from a child's felted hat pattern. Unfortunately, it started out way too huge- more like for an 8 year old than a 3 year old, so I had to felt it a crazy amount, resulting in a hat that is thick and stiff, more like a helmet. You'd think he would like this since he likes to play football, unfortunately its so heavy I think he has a hard time holding his head up! The other hat is a super simple ribbed stripey number. I based this on a pattern I saw on yarn harlot and just changed the sizing accordingly. I really wanted to add the pom pom to the top, but he wouldn't let me. I actually managed to whip a few of these out over the holidays for various child relatives.

Why is it that when you want to take a picture of your child, they always seem to have food on their face?
