This is the Lavender Lace beanie from One Skein Wonders. It's a little on the small side... needs a good block. I'll add that to the list of things I want to get done...
As for reading, well, unless you count craft blogs for ideas to busy the excited little ones...!
Joining in with Ginny and friends again. :)
Slight envy! I'm still plodding through the Christmas knitting and birthday present making for a soon to be four year old girl, ack!
ReplyDeleteLove the beanie, utter gorgeousness

Aw sympathy haha, I have a pile of commissions still and really want to get them all done before January! And Talia may not get a Christmas knit this year, because I decided her current aversion to clothing wasn't worth fighting with so much else to do right now...
DeleteYour lace work is beautiful! was it difficult?
ReplyDeleteThis one way pretty easy - a fair bit of concentrating because I could visualise how the pattern was working! But it *was* quick, dk yarn and 5.5mm needles. :)
DeleteHi I just came across your blog today, and I have really enjoyed reading it. I am especially interested that you are unschooling with a Waldolf style, which is similar to what I try to do with my 4 children in New Zealand. Although to be honest I think our days are mostly just different forms of chaos... it's a bit of a journey.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your thoughts, it really is very cool coming across someone with similar schooling ideas
Hi, lovely to "meet" you! I have found a few Waldorf inspired unschoolers, like Suzy at A Soulful Life http://scrapsofstarlight.blogspot.co.uk/ and Laura at Roots and Wings http://phoebedot.blogspot.co.uk/ :)
DeleteI love this pattern! Is it on ravelry?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lavender-lace-beanie Unfortunately the pattern is only sold as part of the book - but it is a *very* good book and often cheap second hand on Amazon. :)
Deletejust catching up with your blog - so many lovely photos and you look sooooo busy : ) love the crafty stuff you've been doing!
ReplyDeleteI thought I could whip out a few hats before Christmas and now I am totally overwhelmed, lol.Your hat is lovely! I may have to make that after Christmas.
