Arlo turns thirteen today, and so is officially a teenager.
I made him a hat – he chose the yarn (some dark blue aran-weight merino) and the pattern, which is 'Roku' (Ravelry details here).
It actually turned out too big, so is a tad slouchy, but is the perfect size with the brim folded up.
Arlo at 13: he's still into reading all sorts of novels, going to the library, playing card games with his friends, the piano, football and Minecraft (he would do this all the time if I didn't monitor it), and eating everything (but especially pancakes, cereal and baked goods.)
He's getting taller and taller, his shoes are bigger than mine, and he has a whole world of his own (friends, school, etc) that I only really catch glimpses of.
