So I started making a hat for someone for Christmas, but the farther I got into the hat the more I just wanted to keep it for myself.

I’ve been really into stripes recently.

And now it’s cold enough to wear hats and scarves and all those fun winter accessories, and they’re so quick and fun to make.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how much knitting Sam has allowed me to do. I thought that I’d be constantly holding him, but a lot of the time he’s happy as a clam in his swing and he lets me get things done around the house. What a sweet baby he is. Right now he’s singing to his mobile while swinging away. It’s pretty darn adorable.

But now I’ve got to go make a batch of hash browns for a ladies fellowship brunch which I’m pretty excited about. Happy Tuesday, everyone.
