Well, there you go. I am another year older. <\/p>\n

I have been taking it easy since Markus’ birth and probably have another two to four weeks of restrictions on exercise until I am fully recovered. <\/p>\n

In absence of anything else to do, I have been knitting some more. Remember that red hat I made for Trev? It turns out it fits nona better so she convinced Trev to let her have it and I made a new hat for him. He has been bugging me for a fish costume (apparently a four year old can’t just have one Halloween outfit). <\/p>\n

Here is a bit better picture of it (the hat is quite warm which made it difficult to get Trev to pose with it in 20 something degrees weather):<\/p>\n

Pedantic souls amongst you will notice that it is not actually a fish but a mammal. I don’t think Trev will mind. He still has not started minding that penguins don’t have fully orange beaks. Tough for him if he does mind. I am not fixing any of his costumes. <\/p>\n

To make the hat I took a break from making socks. Socks are a bit of pain to make because I am using small needles and sock yarn so it takes a lot of knitting to get a little bit of fabric. <\/p>\n

I have not yet decided if I am a sock knitter. I do like wearing knitted socks, but I am not sure if I like it enough to keep on with knitting them given how much effort it is. I’ll make a few pairs and decide from there. <\/p>\n

While the socks were taking a break because of the porpoise hat construction, one of the needle tips snapped. KnitPicks has a pretty generous return policy so I will try and see if I can get them to replace it (even though it must have been over a year since I bought the circulars). In the mean time I will use the excuse of my birthday to get a set of Addi circs so I can continue with the socks. Since today is a holiday and stores are closed I have decided to try and knit the socks with double pointed needles and see if I still agree with my decision to switch to cirks. Conclusion – I can’t believe I ever managed to knit anything with double pointed needles to begin with!!!<\/p>\n

And yes, the trees are the prettiest for my birthday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
