I hope you enjoyed your long holiday weekend. We spent a marvelous holiday with a dear friend and her family. Do you have friends that, regardless of how often you see them, make you feel like it was just yesterday that you last talked? Lois is like that. A kindred spirit for sure.
I managed to get a few beanie patterns done over the long weekend. These will be posted out on Skylark Yarns in our Free Patterns later today.
The first is the Lace Rib Beanie. It was meant to match our Lace Rib Fingerless Mitts pattern out on the site. Fun, quick, and toasty in Pearls, our alpaca/bamboo worsted weight yarn. This is the Skyline Drive colorway.
The second is a baby version of our Bubblewrap Cap. This required some tweaking to fit a wee one's head, and is made in Luminescence, our super soft and not-the-teeniest-whit-scratchy alpaca and soysilk blend in a DK weight, shown here in Harbor Mist colorway.
My photography skills don't do this little darlin' justice. He's the six week old son of my husband's friend and co-worker.
Hope that Monday is not too harsh for you. It feels a little like a rude awakening after all that time off, but I am working to keep it all in perspective, understanding this to be the yang of a wonderfully yin weekend.
Blue skies!
