It's Tuesday!

Oh, my goodness~! Where did my weekend and Monday go?

Yesterday I finished another wee hat . Every hat I make is different. I don't use a pattern; I start and see where the yarn takes me . This little gem is in a pink tweedy acrylic . It started as a little rolled brim hat and ended up with a darling eyelet row at the crown,which then gathered into six distinct flower petals. So cute! I'm starting a matching set of wee leg warmers . I'm using Magic Loop for the leg warmers . First time I have used the technique. I watched a yarnie friend using the method and then followed up with a youtube video. I like it for tiny things, but I have to learn not to hold on so tight!

I will be so glad when I get some pictures that I can post here. It will be nice to have a picture portfolio.

Today I think I will cast on a cowl to match my daughter's slouch hat . I used only half the yarn the hat pattern called for; it will be pretty to have a cowl to match . The pattern is simple and quick knitting. And I know it, so I won't grip it like it's about to run away :)

I have some domestic chores to attend to as well. Knitting Central is all cleaned up; I can't say so much for the kitchen!

Happy Knitting!
