Cooler 1

Cooler 3

Cooler 2

This cooler weather we've been having makes me want to knit every evening. And because hats seem to be the only garment I have the attention span for these days, Arlo got another one made for him last week. For this I used one complete ball of dark grey yarn (Moda Vera, 8 ply) and a 4mm circular needle, and I kept the purl stitches on the outside. The pattern was just sort of made up as I went along. The pompom was a request from A, and I tried to get him to make it himself, but he quickly lost interest- you know what it's like. 

Two links on the internet that made me smile over the weekend:

these handmade felt animals, and a french cousin for my patchwork bird.

Enjoy your Monday!

    I just noticed the jump rope. I need to find a nice one that is the right size for my little ones. Scarlet has been asking for one.
