Li'l Redhead Gets a Cap



I haven't been knitting as much as I'd like since having Oliver in July.
Although, you'd think that would be an excuse to knit knit knit. And don't think I'm not obsessing on all kinds of knits to work up for him.
On the schedule: Cowichan knitted bag for the snowy days, socks, booties and more footwear, hats, hats, hats... and a little knitted romper.

Only little item I've finished lately is this little blue and red striped hat.
Visiting SF means having a wool cap, and a brimmed hat, all in one day. Today was a cozy blustery day. In hindsite, maybe a day to stay in with hot chocolate...

Today's antics included barely making it home in one piece after attempting to be out for a wee couple hours. We stopped at a news stand, and the knit shop. Tried to get on muni (above ground train) for the ride home, and just hopped off under duress after getting many looks of sympathy. I either had Oliver's foot crooked in the carrier or he's just decided to hate being in it.
Either way, we arrived home, both in tears after walking in the rain, one of us in flip flops.

The upside: we acquired 2 new knit magazines and a couple needles to start a project. We forgot all our needles and kit of tools ... If I can keep myself awake long enough to get a few cast ons going, and browse the mag. Honestly, I'm tempted to just get into bed. It's 8 pm.
