Knitting again...




After shopping at the mall with my mom and niece, my niece inspired me to make a hat. She was trying on some really cute hats in a store and I thought "I can make that". So, yesterday I got out the needles and surfed Ravelry for a pattern. Found a cute one called Meret, it was similar to what my niece was trying on at the store. I found that this pattern was really easy to follow and was so quick to knit (one day) that I also made my daughter one (after I made her beg a little). I'll have to post pictures later when I can get her outside in the sun to take one. It was really nice to be able to finish a project in a day and it gave me a nice little break from party planning for Hailey's birthday. Hailey will be 9 on Wednesday and we are having a few friends and family over. I made her invitations again this year and they turned out pretty darn cute. She had decided she wanted a "peace sign" party so we settled on a hippie theme. We are having a "best dressed hippie" contest, going to tie-dye t-shirts and paint our fingernails and toes in funky colors. A friend of mine is even making a peace sign cake. I think it will be a fun little party. I may even have to make myself some "special" brownies for later... LOL!
