I posted this picture of Jackson mid-yarn on Monday to Instagram. Seemed like a good way to start the week, with your game face on and all that. Now that we are here on Wednesday night, I’m feeling a bit more like this Jacob sheep I spotted at a fair over the weekend – it’s a bit more, oh puh-lease.
Anyway, long story short it has been a week. Thankfully it has been a week that is just full to the brim, but for me that has meant no reading and only grabbing a few rows to knit as I can. The Summit shawl grows, the Wonderfully Super socks are a few inches away from getting cuffs, I did cast-on my first Loopy Academy project, and I have pulled out yarn for 2 more projects – one for a friend’s baby that hopefully will arrive quickly on Thursday and a hat requested by Nate (a dinosaur hat. purple spikes Mommy!). Snapping a photo of the projects for a blog post was quickly put at the bottom of today’s to-do list.
I did find out about the Little Hats, Big Hearts campaign today and would like to share it with you. The American Heart Association celebrates Heart Month in February. You may have seen or heard about the Knit Red or Stitch Red campaigns? Similar idea – knitting or crocheting red baby hats for babies to raising awareness of heart disease, the number one killer of Americans, and congenital heart defects, the most common type of birth defect in the country. This touches close to home, as my niece is a CCHD baby. I am looking forward to pulling out some red yarn and making a few hats in her honor!
