 A yarn study. I love wool. It just glides over my needles so much more smoothly than acrylic. My husband is out of town and tomorrow is the first day of first grade for my boy. This means he’s in bed already and I will probably be up the next 4 hours knitting. I should sleep, but that sort of logical thing evades me. I’ll be the one whimpering in the morning on our walk to school with a big bag of school supplies and grumpy toddler in tow. 
 The toddler took a break.
 I got Second Sock Syndrome (BUT if I hadn’t messed up the first time, I’d have a complete pair. boo), so I took a break and knit a hat. I FINALLY learned English knitting, so the colorwork was actually enjoyable! I am going to be carrying my graph paper notebook to jot down ideas for more hats. This one matches Nathan’s school uniform, so it’s his. He likes it. I used the color pattern practice hat instructions from Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Knitting Workshop  
 Andrew loves mangoes. He has gone from calling them “meen-goes” to “main-goes” and is finally at the “mahn-goes” which is how I say it. My little ones also say spicy food “picas,” as in picante. Spanglish for the win! Andrew ate the whole thing, minus a few squares I managed to steal. It was insanely sweet & juicy.
    (look, he’s wearing a Flourish leather bracelet.) |

. I messed up a bit on the last color repeat, but it’s hardly noticeable. It was a super easy knit. I realized Zimmermann’s books read like blogs. There are diagrams to help you out and asides on how to make things bigger or other ways to knit it. Love.
