a weekend's worth of knitting

Can you tell we had a busy weekend? There was an end-of-the-year party, a birthday party, a school play and a playdate! And precious little time for knitting. But I did get wee one's new emli bonnet to the try-on stage. To size it up for my now 15 month-old, I added one more repeat of the leaf pattern to the stitch count (that's 16 more stitches) and one more repeat of the leaf pattern to the length (that's 16 more rows). The little red yarn you see at the bottom was to hold the stitches while we did an early morning try-on and.... it's gonna fit! Just the increases left to do at the bottom to form the brim and then I can cinch up the top to finish her off. And just in time too, because it is sunny as all get out here now. Plus, wee one has to have one more new hat to show off before school's out! The other moms at drop off and pick up have been asking. Seriously.

Ugh! Your boys are still in school? We are in our second week out. The chaos that is now my home leaves little time for knitting.
That hat is going to be adorable. I'm sure the moms are anxious to see all her beautiful hand made things. I know I am :)

A very girly colour and the pattern is cute to.

Your wee one is probably the best dress babe there with the mommy pickups, so everyone wants to see what's next!
