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,,,
Happy Birthday Joe!! He does look a bit over heated, but the cowl and hat will be warm come winter. You’re very good about finishing even if it does take a year. I’ll miss you while you’re gone!
Happy Belated Birthday, Joe! Great hat and cowl – I think I’ll put them on the list to make my son! Have a great time in Israel!
happy BD joe!
that casbah really does knit up gorgeous; it’s a great color on joe.
Happy birthday! Excellent presents, if a bit out of season — and the blue looks gorgeous with his eyes :) Travel safely and well!
