It is beginning to get chilly, (though, yes, I was wearing shorts outside this weekend) and I am into my knitting mode this fall. How lovely it is to feel that wonderful wool yarn pull through your fingers and see your creation come alive, stitch by stitch. The colors, the endless patterns and possibilities always makes me excited. I’ve got hats, mittens, (even a pair for me!) scarves, leg-warmers, and small sweaters on my list. And I always feel a bit decadent sitting on the sofa doing no housework, e-mail, or cooking, and just knitting with my feet up sipping a mug of tea.

This pattern is wurm by katushika found on Ravelry.com. My mods for a toddler’s head are on my page.

It was the end of  along day and my model wasn’t cooperating. Running away, ripping off that hot hat and throwing it on the ground with all the conviction a little two-year-old can muster. Actually pretty cute.

Now on to Mini Mister’s winter ensemble….
