Yarn Along
Linking up with Ginny at Small Things for another yarn along.
This week, I have finally gotten my hands on The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling from the local library. I got quite a few other books that I had on hold as well, but since I know I won't be able to renew this one, it is going to be my focus until I finish.
This week I finished up this gnome hat for Miss P. She is having a gnome/woodland party for her second birthday (which is right around the corner!) and I thought this would be a great accessory. However, it came out quite a bit big, and basically fits me even though it is for ages 2-3. And, so far she is not too keen on wearing it. Trying not to pressure her yet as I want there to be some novelty for her party day. Someone will wear it. At some point. I hope. Pictures to come when that day arrives!
Currently, I have a little striped monster on the needles, which I casted-on on a whim a few days ago. I felt like I hadn't knit anything for Finn is ages and his monster I made him last year is still one of his favorites. I will probably set it aside soon though, as I need the needles for another milo vest for a baby that is on its way.
And, I finally got Phoebe's milo on her... she wasn't in much of a photo mood, but I managed to snap a few to share.
What are you reading? What are you knitting?

I'm smiling along with the whole trying to get these beautiful handknits on the little ones. My daughter made lovely pebbles vests for her little boys and one just refuses, I will scream if you try to put it on me, refuses to wear it. Happily the younger one always complies! Your work is lovely! ~ Paula
