They might be pirates

Last week I finished a very quick hat for the boy.



Specs:
Pattern: Skull Hat, by Knit Two Together
Yarn: Patons Classic Merino in Brown and Green
Needles: Size 7 addis
Started: September 26
Finished: September 28

This pattern is based on the We Call Them Pirates, which I've wanted to knit since forever. I love the worsted weight version. So. Much. Easier. I do want to knit another out of something less scritchy than the Patons, but first, I need to knit the Girl a sweater. The poor thing took a washcloth I knit, put it over her chest and said, "thank you for knitting me a sweater". Man talk about guilt. I knit the boy two sweaters in a row, it's her turn.

I cast on for another Wallaby in pink (Knitpicks Swish in Ballerina) stash yarn and it's going super quickly.

Yesterday we went apple picking, and the Boy wore his new wallaby:



I love fall.

Great pic of the boy in his Wallaby! :) He looks so cozy and ready for fall...
Now knit that girl a sweater so she won't be dressing all hoochy with a dishcloth covering her assets at such a young age... LOL!

The boy looks so great! A perfect fall photo (even for those of us still in denial...) =-D
