Veikko's hat, my first public pattern

 I'm so proud to announce that I have publish my first pattern on Ravelry, here is it.

It's Veikko's hat a very simple gnomy hat that I made for a Finn friend’s baby, Veikko. It’s a fast and easy last minute gift, also it needs very little yarn, so you can use whatever you have on your stash. I used some leftover from Restless Prairie Farm, an Etsy shop, I don’t know the brand of it but it’s organic and so soft.

You may download it here.

My son is better and me too, since I got ill too.

Ill

My little one is ill, we woke up 3 a.m. for vomit, and then again and again, this part of motherhood it;s the hardest.

So lots of tea and rest are in order, I hope he will get better soon.

I didn't knit a lot this week, I just finished the baby socks and slippers for my son, and I'm reading I curse the rive of time and I like it so far.

A great Sunday

Yesterday my brothers (soul bothers), came for breakfast and end up staying almost all day, it was so much fun, we love them.
We cooked, played and made music.

 

Thank you both we are so lucky to have you.

We also had Danish Baby that I got from an SouleMama tweet that took me to  Amy from Angry Chicken it's such a good thing to eat with jelly or cheese and so easy, I recommend it.

These days :: sewing and baking

I have been sewing a lot and also baking some. And I took the pictures necessary to make some tutorials to come in the next weeks.

There is this bracelet that my son made (he sews the button) as a gift, a great choice for little ones gifts, I think.

 

There is also this little wallet.

Akira's backpack.

A car bag for kids stuff.

Boys pants.

And the play mat, all very simple projects to complete in 1-2 hours, great for last minute holiday gifts.

On the baking front there is this pumpkin flan and this banana super healthy mini cakes.

I will be shaing tutorials soon.

Yarn Along and Homescholing

Yarn Along it's a day of the week to share what you are knitting and reading created by Ginny, you can add your post here every Wed. or to the flickr group any day.

This week I'm still on the sleepers for my son, from last week, and a pair of baby sock for a surprise gift.

The yarn on the sleepers it's quite old, my mom gave it to me about 3 years ago, but I remember how it was always in her stash, so I showed to her and we calculated it's about 20 years old. And the good news is that is not acrylic, but wool, she made a little burning test (I didn't knew about this), and showed me how it will became ashes and not a hard plastic thing and there is also the smell of burned hair.

In the reading front there has been a lot of Calvert manuals being our first year and all the system very new for me, so I'm trying to figure it out, but today we had our fist lesson and we loved it, more on that tomorrow.

So what it's in you needles?
