Discovery Cap

It was about time I made my little guy one of these caps. I designed it a very long time ago before I ever thought I'd have the joy of raising a little boy. My daughter modeled it for my pattern pictures in pink. But I have to say I am digging this Tar color more. I made him the medium size using Shibui Maai in color Tar. Pattern details here. This yarn is super soft and because it is a chained yarn, it has so much elasticity!

By the way, MAJOR bribing going on to get with a smile on his face. That goofy one was his favorite! hee hee.

Hello again quiet little blog. For anyone who may find this new post... things have changed dramatically for me and my little family since last I posted.

In April of this year (2015) I moved to Southern California from my always home in the Pacific NW. It was a fast and furious move! Away from my job at Knit-Purl yarn store that I loved, family, friends, and a culture of crafting, making, rain and outdoor activities that I’d grown very happy and comfortable with.

What a culture shock it’s been. My kids are loving it! For me it’s been a little harder to adjust. I have only recently picked back up my needles… it’s hard to wrap my brain around knitting in a climate that most of my favorite projects could never be worn in. I see sewing becoming a more prominent endeavor in my future? We'll see. I’m excited about the change and the change it will have on my hobbies.

  An adventure presented itself… so here we go!

I've been uncharacteristicly domestic lately!
Organizing, lighting pretty scented candles and hanging pictures and memorabilia. We moved here in August and I never really settled in. So over the past few days I've added some homey touches to an otherwise pretty grimey rental home.

It feels nice.

Enjoy your weekend and light some cozy candles!
