Back to our scheduled programming.

So I rear-ended someone on the way to work today.

It was a dwarf.

He got out of the car and said “I’m not happy.”

So I said “Then which one are you?”

A co-worker of mine had a bebe. I present to you a gifted feather and fan bonnet. I took this picture last minute as my camera batteries were dying. So the picture is a little dark.

Project Info

Pattern: Feather and Fan Bonnet

Yarn: RY Cashsoft Baby DK,  in a light purple color, about half a ball

Needles: US 6 Denise circs

Dimensions: baby head

Pattern Modifications: none at all

Time to knit: two days

I really enjoyed knitting this bonnet. I would knit it again for another baby which shouldn’t been a problem since I know a handful of people who are having girls. I really liked the feather and fan as well. It looks more complicated than it actually is which is nice. :)

Check out this package back from the Harry Potter Swap. It’s from Sirius/Not Hip.

Is that not the sweetest package you have ever seen?! I freaking got Socks that Rock! I’ve never seen it in real life before this package.

You should go check out her blog. She makes the coolest knitting shirts. I’m going to get a green one with the design towards the bottom of the shirt. Go check it out!

My job is going fairly well. Yesterday was hard because I got homesick all of a sudden at work and I was struggling to hold back the tears. I came home and told G to keep an eye on me and give me extra attention when I need it. He did and today was better. :)

I’m currently reading The Mermaids Singing after seeing it on Kelly Green Rogue’s blog.

I’m really excited for Oregon Flock and Fiber (or as I so fondly refer to it, OFFFF) this weekend! I will make sure to blog my purchases. :) Stacey we wish you could be there!!

I joined Knitty’s Blogstalking 2.0 so I should be blogging more. ;)

*That joke up top is one that Greg told me. He can take the credit for that one. I am horrible with jokes and didn’t even get it. He had to explain it to me!

  • Yippee!!! She’s back!!! Love that baby bonnet! Unfortunately, everyone I know is having boys…but that is a cute hat! Great job!

    Love the Harry Potter Stuff!! Thanks again for hosting it!! Hope to see you this weekend!! You’ll definately be seeing more Socks That Rock there!

  • It took me a second to get the joke too….!

    Isn’t STR wonderful? The only sock yarn I’ve seen that lives up to the hype.

  • what a great package! I haven’t seen STR live, in person either. But it looks awesome!

  • Hysterical. I snorted some of my coffee out of my nose. Exactly what I needed this morning. I’m sorry you’re homesick… part of me wishes I were since the house selling isn’t going so well. Thanks for reminding me to enjoy it while I’m here. I’m glad you’re back to blogging…. I’ve missed you!

    Great hat. :)

  • Dang I was LMAO at that dwarf joke!!! Love all the goodies you got as part of your HP swap. Makes the end of the series a little easier to bear. And that bonnet is adorable.

  • The bonnet is so beautiful! I love that shade of brown too.
