yarn along

here is a post of my latest knitting project and read in a yarn along hosted by ginny.  

this hat is a last minute christmas present for ezra.  it is a reversible rib stitch hat and while it is slow going the result is worth the wait. i am loving this yarn and am so glad i picked it up in california when we went for a visit in may.  it is opal schafpate - a super wash sheep's wool from germany.  the colors and softness of the wool are extraordinary.  there will be more of this yarn in my knitting future!  
the only time for reading this last week has been for ezra.  this is one of our favorite books from the library.  the illustrations are lovely.  and when daddy makes all the bunnies talk on the page to ezra laying in bed at night he is a happy boy in bunny dreamland.  now it's off to the beach but i'm bringing this knit along!  only 3 days of knitting left!

    I love the hat pattern... I might knit one for myself when I find my knitting needles (going through some kind of crocheting addiction right now so..)
    and the colors are wonderful! :)

    Hurray for beach knitting! The sun finally came out here today, I'm so happy! I don't know if beach time is in my future today though, a grocery run to the commissary is more likely if we want to eat!

    I love the way that's knitting up. The color remind me of the old fashioned sock monkey toys. Looks super soft too. Lucky Ezra!

    I love the colors of the hat. It looks great and it does pay to buy nice yarn. Looking forward to seeing Ezra modeling it soon xx

    Ahh, knitting on the beach! How lovely!! We're all huddled in our coats and wool socks right now LOL. We just got back from the inlaws and the house is FREEZING. It took me a little longer to pop over to see your knitting than I had hoped but I'm glad I did. I just love the orange and blues of your yarn :) I'm all for multi colored yarns... who needs one old color right?! Merry Christmas :)
