Two weeks ago we took a long weekend and drove to California to visit Sequoia National Park. I have many photos of those BIG trees to share with you. But first let me show you some nice patterns Joe spotted during this trip:
Joe was entertained by those patterns and his photos entertain me so I am sharing!
Last weekend we celebrated Joe’s birthday, we had a lovely time in the cold and rainy White Mountains of Arizona.
I don’t have time right now to tell you about this trip but I must show off the knitted presents I made for my sweet heart:
It’s a ninja ski set: a cowl and a hat knitted in the very lovely Handmaiden Casbah Sock yarn:
Although it was only morning, we were at home in Arizona (let’s say 90F give or take). Isn’t he a darling to model it just for you?
I think it was a bit too hot, my poor darling!
I used Cocoknits’ Inside-Out Cowl pattern I found on Ravelry and I knitted the hat from my head.
Oh and I also finished a pair of socks for him that were on the needles since his last birthday I am afraid,,,
I used Mirage Earth #4254 from the Regia Kaffe Fassett line.
And now if you will excuse me I must run, I am going to Israel for a month this Friday,,,
While playing with the photos of my Monkeys set in photoshop, I created this loooong photo that entertain me to no end (call me stupid, it’s ok) so I decided to share it with you.
It is a closeup on the headband I knitted with the leftover yarn from my Crazy Monkies. I took the idea from MintyFresh Lace Headband in Ravelry and used the stitch pattern of the monkey socks instead. I also knitted it in 2 halves and kitchener them to get the pattern going up the head on both sides!
Here is the set all ready to go to Israel on August 1. Yes, I am going with it.
