Happy in blue
One new blue hat done and I couldn't be happier, this one is long enough to cover my ears too. I really liked knitting the hat top down and casting off with an i-cord. I believe it's a first for me, also there was no swatching for this, what's not to love? LOL! Will have to knit more hats top down, this is just too much fun. :) Also it was fun having a quick project to knit, this might be a great way to use up some stash yarn also. For the past two years I have knitted hats to donate in the month of december, this pattern could come in handy if I start making hats again this year. :)
Yesterday I was all excited about going to a craft store, I had planned on checking out yarn and rubber stamps. Sadly the yarn colors in the only half decent yarn they had were all pretty dull and they had zero stamps with a snowflake on it, barely a selection of holiday themed ones either. I was so disappointed, I wasn't expecting to not find anything. The store changed a lot since I had gone and it isn't as great in my opinion. So that pretty much shot my day at wanting to make a few holiday wish cards, now back to having none and no inspiration to create any either.
I get to meet Zoe's teacher next week and it will be soon enough, at least my daughter wants to go to school this week. Though it is hard to hear about how the teacher rewarded her class with computer time after screamed at the kids. ARGH!!!
Perhaps today, I will have time to cut out paper snowflakes!?
