Baa-ble Hat, Its Baarilliant!

It feels well into the new year now, the toys have been put up in the kids rooms, well most of them anyway. I am getting slowly used to my new job and Paul has been offered better hours at his work so will be home to pick the kids up from school, so finally things seem to be working out.


Between Christmas and New Year I finished my Baa-ble Hat, I got the pattern ages ago but have just not got round to making it, so it was just what I needed to fill the time a nice quick little project and the weather took a bit of a dip so great for wearing to work when hanging around at the bus stop early in the morning. We have had some very frosty mornings!

I used Drops Nepal which is 50% wool and 50% Alpcha and I love it, its Aran weight and feels quite rustic, I don't know why but that's what springs to mind. I have bought some more as its been on sale for only £1.50 a 50g ball and have started a little jumper for Alex but I bought a pattern off ravelry and I was way to small so I am really winging it to make it bigger.


I have also started some other little bits this New Year, my blanket project is Sophies Universe Cal for 2015, but I started it now, really love the bright colors , just whats needed after all the decorations have gone down.
I also bought a pattern for a Knit Along which has just started but after a few rows and then Alex hacking into the yarn, I had to abandon it for now, but its on the list for when some of the other stuff is done.
Finally I started a Sunday Shawl, which again has a really bright boarder and I am hoping to finish soon so I can use it to go to work in. I have on a few occasions been seen knitting at my work desk already, its something to pass the time with in my dinner hour!

I think I have plenty to be going on with for a while, the problem now is where am I going to find the time!
