Tuque Time

It is freezing out this morning! There was frost on the roofs and our breaths released big white puffs into the cold morning air.  I'm so not ready for winter.

I knit Charlie a balaclava to wear to school.  I love how practical it is because it's like a tuque and scarf in one.  He can wear it different ways, depending how cold it is.

Don't you love those big brown eyes? 



Of course, his favorite way to wear it. Boys.

On my needles

I've had a few skeins of gorgeous yarn in my stash that I just couldn't say no to at the yarn store... I guess that's why I need to stay out of said yarn stores. :)

Pattern: Baktus scarf with modifications found here.

Yarn:  Schoppel-Wolle Zauberball.  More information can be found in my Ravelry project page here.

I love the stripes and the colours. Just gorgeous. 

Thanks for reading!

Word of the day: UFO

I started knitting a vest for Lola a long time ago. An embarrassingly long time ago. I remember knitting it on holidays... last summer. Poor thing has been languishing in my UFO pile ever since.

UFO: (knitting acronym) Unfinished Object. A project that has been abandoned, left unfinished.

I pulled it out last week and decided it was about time I finished it. Luckily, last summer I had decided to make a bigger size, which now fits her perfectly.

 Some days she's so hard to photograph. She just doesn't stop moving!

Pattern: Boheme by Allegra Wermuth
