Lately I’ve been all about the spinning wheel…
.
.
I’ve got a few projects I’d like to knit, but the heat is killing my motivation. So in the evenings when it’s cooled down, I’d sit at the wheel for a bit and worked on this fiber I purchased from Blarney at Renedage Craft Fair earlier this summer.
.

But mostly, I’m all about this guy right here:
.
Ten months old yesterday! How?
.
Back in March I was lucky enough to test knit Frogginette’s pattern, Baltic Baby Sweater.
.
.
It’s a raglan sweater with buttons on the side, perfect for getting baby’s head in with very little fussiness. Oh, and while taking FO pictures of Lucas, he totally, brought is A game for posing.
.

It’s just a tad big, but that mostly my fault because although I’ve been knitting for eight years, I’m really still a beginner when it comes to all things gauge. But practice makes perfect, right?
.
Talk about getting things done. A list of things we did:
- Went to the Farmers Market – Nectarines and peaches are back in season! The nectarines are tiny, but still delicious.
- Had some post farmers market snacks of boba (for him) and ice cream (for me).
- Did some shopping at Target and got an umbrella stroller to keep in Louis’ small(er) car.
- Planted some herbs – I’ve got a few plants in the balcony that I haven’t killed, I’m getting cocky now!
- Went out and found a park that Lucas enjoyed and I accidentally looked directly at the sun while trying to find the eclipse. Whoops!
.
I can’t wait to see what adventures we have next week during the long weekend! I might even get some knitting done!
.
AKA, an excuse to get our little family together for some pictures. There aren’t enough pictures of the three of us! Hope everyone had a great day! And yes, Lucas is still can’t get his eyes off his feet!
.

I love my boys.
I was going to write this post under the guise of the hat I made for him, but c’mon, I really want to share these pictures!

Pattern: Basic Winter Hat – Back to Basics // Raveled
.
Taking these pictures proved to be quite a challenge! For one, Lucas discovered his foot!
.
.
And once he found his foot, he could not take his eye off of it!
.
.
Luckily, the cats were able to distract him long enough for him to take his gaze away from his foot.
.
.
But back to the hat, I really love how those two simple colors came together. I only wish it didn’t feel like Summer outside so he could wear it without his poor little head breaking out into a sweat!
