I didn’t even know there were giant pumpkins growing at the back of our acreage until they became impossible not to notice. I leave the gardening to those in our household who possess green thumbs.
There’s a baby coming in the family next month (for my niece and her husband) and so I’ve been slightly obsessed with baby knits. I will post photos of those knits once they have been gifted. The baby hat in the photo is a shop sample that I knit from one skein of Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend.
There’s something so delightful about a baby hat. I recently had a conversation about that with a young mother who visited the yarn shop. She remarked that although store-bought baby hats are cute and all, it’s the hand-knit ones that are the real treasures. I’d like to think that is because good wishes and love are looped into every tiny stitch.
Happy Halloween!
