We awoke to this beautiful sunrise
and I spent the day knitting Felicity, a slouchy hat in a beautiful aqua. It's a free Ravelry download. If you're a knitter and you don't know Ravelry, then you'll want to have a look. It is an amazing knitter's resource site.
Susan at the Grove led the way with a modified stitch count using a Louisa Harding Kashmir Baby. Since hers fit perfectly (and she wasn't ready to gift it to me yet) I cast on my own and spent the day knitting. Too late I realized that the 7 stitch multiple would have lent itself very nicely to including a size 8 bead on every 7th stitch and every 3rd row, staggering the beads on alternate rows. So as soon as this one is finished I think I'll be making a second. I like having a simple, tried and true project on the needles. It makes for good travel knitting, so I think a trip to the Grove may be in order today!

And we're using Addi needles instead of your recommended Knit Piks because . . .
It must be the time of year because I've been thinking about digging out my needles and some baby alpaca I have but I'm thinking sweater and where I will find the time I have no idea. Ahh...the days in England when knitting was my business.
