Quite a Mouthful

This latest project combines my two favorite things.  Three favorite?  A lot of favorite things.
1 - Tiny Humans
2 - Yarn
3 - Entrelac
4 - Things that Match

I don't know what is going on with my camera, but the pink is not reflected even somewhat close to the real life color.  This looks sort of red or orange and a bit plastic.  At any rate, these are entrelac blankets in a yarn that is way too hard to pronounce.  It's no longer available so there's not a link, but it's called Ornaghi Filati Punto su Punto Bla Bla Bla (yes, that's part of the name) in #601 and #606.  A Superfine Merino and Acrylic blend, it's soft and machine washable.

The yarn being a mouthful is perfectly paired with the name of these new babies.  Leonardo and Letetia  will be snuggled up together in their matching blankets by the weekend.  Just in time, too.  This polar vortex is still moving through the area.

Nickel's mommy is dutifully sending me pictures of her little guy in all his woolly goodness.  This is a tri peak hat, the pattern for which is misplaced somewhere in the depths of my stash closet.  I did manage to track down the yarn.  Knit Picks Chroma Worsted in #25258 Midwinter.  Seems fitting.

I think these colors really complement his tone.  Stay warm little man.

Speaking of staying warm, I went to a wedding in SoHo this weekend and NYC is always windy and colder.  I decided that I would want something to keep my ears warm walking to my train while not messing up my painstakingly straightened hair.  I made a little headband for myself.  Made with Patons Soy Wool Stripes it knit up in a few hours and worked like a charm against the brisk Manhattan wind.

And the wedding was beautiful.  Congratulations Carly & Ceri.  May you always be as happy as you are in this moment.

(Sorry for the blurry.  Much whiskey was had).
