Urchin

So here we go. A hat. And it fits, and I wear it. I call that a winner.

I think if I did this again, I would do it in a mellower color. This is fairly bright for me, but I wear it when I want to appear saucy and bold.

I'm sure everyone knows Urchin, I knit this in Jaeger Natural Fleece, color #530, Bordeaux.

I liked the bumpy yarn with this pattern, it works so well.

I used one full skein, plus an itty bitty bit of the second to make the largest size. Grrrr... hate that, now I have an almost full skein mocking me from the stash.

I will have to find a pinhead to gift a bold, saucy hat.

So, do you notice all the mess in the background?

That mess is a huge packing mess. That's because my husband and I have decided to get out of the lower mainland.

Heck, we're not even planning to stay in beautiful British Columbia. Oh, no we have bigger plans. We are going east. East and east and east. And then a little more east, until we arrive in beautiful New Brunswick.

Then hopefully we will love it and buy a beautiful home in the country with a white picket fence and all my children will dress nicely every day, and mind their manners and play sweetly together and we will all live happily ever after. I'm hoping :-p

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed, maybe a lot, but I refuse to explore my inner self that deeply right now. There's to much to do.

And really, people, thank goodness I'm not pregnant right now! I'd just be a blubbering pile of ooze on the floor, if that were the case!!!!

Love the hat on your head! I think the color suits you, not bold at all!
Oh, moving, that's horrible, I hate moving, and all what comes with it. I hope you'll get through it in one piece! Best wishes!

The hat is great!

And here I was thinking- I am so glad someone is willing to share a mess in the background... Good luck with the move! Sounds exciting

I love the color of your Urchin and think it's lovely for you. As for the move, I'm sad that we live just a few hours away from one another and never did meet before you move so far away! This is life, esp. with little ones to spend our time with... good luck with the packing and the moving! I'm sure your children will miraculously become well dressed and well behaved at all times in your new place. :)
