You might ask yourself...what is it that Leah does with all her "spare" time? When I'm not writing completely useless blog entries, doing laundry, shuttling children or generally wasting time on the computer I knit. What do I knit? Well...
Sophie has long ago outgrown what we call in this house her "Meme sweater" while Lily is still enjoy the warm coziness of hers. My very talented mother-in-law was kind enough to share with me this top secret pattern ( Knitting Pure & Simple's Neckdown Pullover) so I'm whipping one up for Sophie as a Christmas present. So far so good, one arm to go.

I got a little bored in the final stages of the sweater and couldn't resist the yarn I bought for Levi's hat so I cranked that out and am pretty pleased with the result. I had to make quite a few modifications since the pattern is for an infant and Levi's head is gigantic...I think this hat would fit me. I give you....Gnomey Hat


With any luck I'll finish all my projects before Christmas!
