Street art

My brother came for dinner yesterday with his 21 month old son. My sister-in-law was out with friends and my parents weren’t home. You gotta do something for dinner, right? In all fairness, my brother is a great cook, this just was easier.
Teun created a true piece of art in my backyard with sidewalk chalk, everyone had to join him.

Finally managed to finish some stuff. The black monster is done and it’s HUGE. It took me almost a whole night to cast off. Lady Eleanor is also (almost) done. I still need to knot the fringes on one side. I’ll be doing that tonight.

Since I seem to be in a finish-fase I wanted to work on my almost done shawl. The idea that I had to sit down with a huge piece of fabric made from Kid Silk Haze with a temperature of about 83 degrees (according to my car that afternoon) wasn’t really inviting. So I started a hat.

Why a hat in the middle of summer? Because my neighbor asked if I could knit him a funky hat. I sure can, just wait and see. Why does my neighbor want a knitted hat with these temperatures? Because he works in a place where it’s about -8 degrees (yes Fahrenheit) and a knitted hat is actually useful. And for € 2,00 I have plenty of fun making him one.
