Monday, Monday

I love Mondays ...
a whole new week to do new things, to find life anew, to start a new adventure each week! And for me, it's when kids go back to school, and I can CLEAN my house, wash clothes, hang them on the line outside. Good things...

I am making another hat for my son Timmy who will soon be on his mission in South Dakota where it is COOOOOLLLLLLDDDDD!

I knitted him one with single strand Lion Brand Woolese, but it's a bit small. So, I started another one as you can see. If you want to knit along... please join me. I am still envisioning it, measuring and figuring what will work especially with the decreasing, so it is not 100% done yet! But it should work.
