Yarn Along

Hello! Happy Wednesday.

I finished up my second Earlyrising hat. This one was for Chase.

I still need a photo of my dad and Chase together with their matching hats.

This was knitted with the farm blend yarn from the brown alpacas.

It's super warm and soft! A fun cabled hat that looks good on everyone.

I am determined to finish this sweater!!!!!!

It's the Olive Basket Cardigan by Amy Miller.

I started it last summer and it's just waiting for the last sleeve to be knitted.

Why oh why do I hate sleeves so much?? Chase was sick the past few days so I was able to get some good knitting time in. I am almost done. Looking forward to this spring cardigan.

And this doesn't show it well, but that little project bag is from Seashore Sharon.

It's so cute! I'll promise to take a better picture. She goes to thrift stores and buys wool sweaters, felts them and then sews them into super cute project bags. She gifted one to me. Thank you Sharon!!!!

I haven't read much this week. Still reading A Little Life. It's a looooooong one!

What are you knitting and reading?

joining in with Ginny at Small Things.

Yarn Along for an Early Riser

I have two early risers in my life. My son, Chase and my dad. They wake very early in the morning and are ready to start the day HOURS before the rest of the world. I think of myself as a morning person in general, but more of an 8 am kind of morning. After coffee and the news kind of morning person. So when I saw this hat pop up I knew just who I would make it for. 

Pattern name: Earlyrising by Annie Rowden

Here's the adult large version that is on my needles.

A smaller one is next. Knitting with farm yarn, the brown blend from the herd.

Annie is running a knit along with this hat pattern so you can join in on her Ravelry group page.

I am still reading A Little Life.

I am still enjoying it. About half way through the almost 800 page book.
