Sick Week

I've spent most of the past week sick in bed, but I actually spent that sick time quite constructively. Thanks to YouTube I taught myself to knit (only one type of stitch) but it was quite an accomplishment. Knitting boggles my mind a bit. I decided that it would take me a really long time until I could knit well enough to make something to wear, so I found this cute little crochet pattern for a baby hat on etsy from holland designs.


The pattern was this darling unassuming baby hat that looked so sweet. I finished it and can now tell you that it was one of the hardest projects I have completed. I think I could have finished an afghan in the time it took me to make this hat. Here it is in all it's imperfect glory, but trust me when I tell you my little boy will wear this every day until his head stretches it out and breaks it.


I say it was sick time well spent.
Since we have all been sick, I am behind on everything - including blogging. I never put up pictures of our trip to Boston to visit my brother-in-law, his wife, and two adorable children. So here is one photo of Lilly with her cute cousin Abbey from our lunch break at Mark Twains house. They had a great time together.

Hold the phone! You could make that darling hat based on a demonstration you watched on YouTube? You're AMAZING!

I want to pinch Lilly's cheeks.

Seriously, that hat is so cute!!! I can't believe that it was YOUR FIRST PROJECT! You are so creative!

Lilly is super cute in the picture with her cousin, too!

ok so I realized that I left out one key word from my post, I CROCHETED that hat since I can't knit at all. I am going to edit my post right now, but thank you for your praise and thinking that I could do that.
