Grey 2

Grey 1 

Grey 3 

I let Arlo choose his own wool from the yarn shop the other day, and he selected this lovely soft grey which I think is a mixture of merino and soy (i can't find the label anywhere- sorry). I knitted him this simple hat for winter using this great pattern, but I sized it down a bit for him (casting on 80 stitches instead). He seems pretty happy with it, and wore it on a trip to the beach. It's just the colour of stones and driftwood.

Also this week, I am loving this by Australian musician Sia. It's a great song but the video makes me laugh and laugh.

    That is one styley hat. I like it a lot. I’m sure there is one of those waiting in my knitting needles for when I get around to it.

    It’s hat time there! It’s (wooly) hat time here STILL, and we’re not very pleased about it.

    What a nice outing, and I just posted about stones yesterday! I haven’t seen soy yarn. I’ll have to check around for it and take a look.

    Cool hat – another pattern for me to try. I was in full hat mode this time last year, knitting for the family. Now I’m nearly there with a striped scarf – number of stripes in the pattern repeat is based on the Fibonacci number sequence (found the pattern on a website somewhere).

    What a lovely hat Melissa – I have to admit to gray pretty much being my favourite colour (next to green) – is that strange? Beautiful photo’s, Joanna
