Happy Birthday Noah!

One year and about half an hour from typing this post my little Noah was born! It's been a great year and he has had a pretty fun birthday so far if I do say so myself! Calls and visits from friends and family - including Sally! She made him some pretty awesome tie-dyed shirt with appliques of dogs on them (he thinks dog are pretty awesome right now) and a little lovey blanket. Here's a collage of the afternoon...oh and he's wearing his birthday sweater too! It turned out great and I know it's going to get lots of wear.


After finishing his sweater I went ahead and cast on a hat for myself! I am super happy with how it turned up and will be writing up the pattern. I used a superwash merino dk weight yarn from Becoming Art that I had purchased from Sock Summit for just this purpose. Now I am back to working on the Jeanne shawl that I am doing for Funky Carolina! It is just cruising along and is a very enjoyable knit - more on that later but here is a little sneak peek pic for now!
All in All Monday had proven to be a good predictor of the week! I hope it stays that way!

Monday

Mondays often have a bad name. This week mine has been amazing! I feel full of excitement for the week and energized! I have quite a few fun things planned - including my little one's first birthday! So get ready there might just be a lot of posts this week with lots of pictures! For now just a pretty fun picture of the soon to be birthday boy - Noah!

Noah's Cobblestone Inspired Vest

This is gonna be quick as I am supposed to be heading out the door...

Tada! I love how this vest turned out and it fits him perfectly (well still enough room to grow that it should fit for a little while I hope!). This was going to be a Baby Surprise Jacket, but I started it in November and my little one has grown at quite a fast rate. I used my yarn, handspun from Pigeonroof Studios Roving (my fave indie dyer). I haven't gotten buttons yet, so I have stitch holders pinning the shoulders together.
