It’s been one of those long weeks, culminating in a minor parenting crisis yesterday. In the aftermath I have treated myself to plenty of simple knitting, lots of word puzzles, not nearly enough tea, and a little yarn store shopping.
Pink yarn for a scarf for the Bee:
Crayon color yarns for knitting some fair isle hats to practice for my big sweater project coming up:
A lovely pair of deep blue and aran skeins, to make a fair isle hat as a gift. For someone. I don’t know who yet:
Koigu – because I like koigu:
And some books:
For inspiration, education, and because reading is more constructive then making a blender full of pina coladas and hiding in a hot bath with the radio on high. I love my daughter, but she’s driving me nuts right now.

The deep blue and white aran will make a beautiful hat – have you decided on a pattern?
Not yet. There are some great patterns in the Hats On book — I found them through Ravelry — and I think it will be one of those – the Norwegian star, perhaps.
