Beautiful Lena catching the early morning sun.
See the new idea with the last (I hope) of this yarn-
Brioche; so one side is very colorful and the reverse is pretty white strips.
But the problem is....
I could see,
once I had two inches under the needles,
that the hat was too large for a newborn.
Even worse, when I removed the needles it was even larger!
Off it went for the third time!
I hope to find the right number while I knit when the boys play out front this morning!
And I want to finish this watercolor scene-
And this one so I can take them to my art class tomorrow for teacher critiquing.
Now if I could only extend the hours in this day, I could accomplish all three goals!
Isn't Lena a lucky kitty! I think of how different my six's lives would be if I hadn't taken them in. Rescuing is so rewarding.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that hat. I can't design worth beans. Just knitting is frustrating enough some times.
I bought some cheap watercolors yesterday to play with. I'm a captive audience at Son's for the weekend so I thought I would You Tube some inspiration and see what happens.
There is never enough time!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwww... I love seeing pictures of sweet Lena. Those delicate little white mitts!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGiroux sends his love!
Aww, nothing better than soaking up the morning sunshine: Lena and I are kindred spirits.
ReplyDeleteI love your watercolor ! My sister is taking up painting again. I am in awe of you all. As far as the hats go, oh my goodness . It is often a struggle for me.
ReplyDeletemy goal would be to lie in the sun like Lena, doing nothing whatsoever:) no, not really, I get bored if I have nothing to do for my hands... but I've been known to unravel brioche projects several times as well - making a gauge and measuring it isn't quite as easy as with other patterns! I am sure you'll manage eventually though - even without more hours in the day:)
