Monday Morning

This is how the morning is going at our house.

Notice, no boys on this side of the table doing homework!

Notice, the look on this boys face as he is doing his homework!

Notice I need lots of cashmere and coffee to get through Monday morning:)

Oh and some finished knitting pictured on the only boy who is awake!

Go Ducks!

The Go Ducks colorway has been knit into a hat. I barley had enough! I really hope the boy I made this for likes it, yellow and green together are not my colors:)

Overall I am pleased with how it turned out!

I have fiber on the wheel for the next hat and I just purchased a bump from a friend who just started her very own shop. Her shop is Fun House Fibers, check her out!

More Thorpe

I finished another Thorpe this morning:)I love this pattern. It is so fun to spin for and knit up! All of these hats I am making are going to be great Christmas gifts!!!

The next boy on my list is a huge Oregon Ducks fan so I spun this yarn to make him a Thorpe. I think the colors turned out just perfect!
