One Down, Three To Go

I know I have a long list of things to share with you, and I will get to it all, but today was such a lazy day, I thought my blog post for the day should follow suit.

The kids were off today. In fact, they have been off for the past FOUR days. It actually hasn't been as hair raising as you might expect. Okay, maybe you don't expect a day off to be hair raising, but around here it usually is and I like getting to tell you about the times it isn't. LOL. The weather was dreary and gray, so we pretty much spent our afternoon curled up on the couch watching season two episodes of Smallville from the library.



While we vegged in front of the tv (LOL, I almost wrote "tube" there but I don't think they make tube tvs anymore), I worked on some knitting. I promised all the kids, and my hubby too, a hand knit hat for this winter. The weather man used the "s" word in the forecast at the end of the week, so I really got to get moving on these!!

I took the kids to the yarn store last week and they each picked a skein of Cascade 220 wool in the color of their choice. Jacob, aka Bogey, picked the colors of his favorite football team... the Washington Redskins. Yep, he is a Skins fan, and has been since birth. That's how they come out of the womb around here. LOL.



I used a basic pattern found on Ravelry as a basic outline and did some mods. Jacob loves how it turned out. He especially loves the old school style stripes. I told him it should fit for a few years... that is if he doesn't lose it.

Next up... and orange one for Andrew... then a fuchsia one for Lauren... and Ron wants one in gray. Can anyone say "wrist injury"?
