A big stack of magazines waiting for a big stack of spare minutes on a lazy afternoon, coffee in hand, children otherwise occupied. I looked at the calendar today. I think they'll be waiting awhile.
And at risk of sounding repetitive, the only thing happening in knitting news is hats. Hats, hats, hats. I have a special order for some newborn pixies, and I'm waiting for the yarn to arrive. So in the meantime, I've been making sure boys are fairly represented in the shop, tricky when all my days revolve around three girls. My funny little nephew Oscar modelled the chocolate Chubby Pixie when I visited on the weekend. He stood very still and followed direction beautifully - we'll have him back any day.

Yarn Along here.
More photos from the shoot here.
Buy the hat, or order something similar, here.
He is gorgeous - your photos are wonderful. I have a pile of magazines and two books that I'm hoping to finish before my Christmas "wants" arrive. x
ReplyDeleteThe Simple Things is my new indulgence - pretty isn't it? Mind you, even as a Brit, I find it is rather England-centric, and not so relevant to us Scots north of the Border, so I'm guessing that is even more pronounced for you in Australia?!
ReplyDeleteI love the magazines this time of year! I'm a sucker for all things Christmas so I think I may have bought every magazine with Christmas specials in them! I'm still waiting on hats in larger sizes! I'm very interested :)
ReplyDeleteSophie xo
Oscar is a pro and I bet y'all had a blast at the photo shoot! He looks do very handsome modeling the Pixie hat.
ReplyDeleteHe is gorgeous. Those eyes! I know what you mean about time, just not enough hours in the day at the moment, are there? x
ReplyDeleteI do love a good stack of magazines to read, looks like you've got some nice things to read. That photo of Oscar is gorgeous, I thought that photo was out of a magazine:) I'm loving those pixie hats. xx
ReplyDeleteYor photos are amazing, that little one is the sweetest thing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous hat!
ReplyDeleteI have a stack of magazines waiting for my attention, too.
Oh my goodness that is the most adorable picture ever!!
ReplyDeleteSame predicament here - never would I have thought I'd buy a magazine and it could sit unread for weeks but 4 kids later. I have actually PACKED the latest Country Style magazine in my hospital bag, so confident I won't get around to looking at it until then.......love your pixie hats!! Mel x
ReplyDeleteYes - not a lot of spare time at this end of the year.
ReplyDeleteLoving your hats. Lovely in the bestest pixi-ish delightful way.

ReplyDeleteToo cute! Must make one! (Hat, not baby...)
ReplyDeleteI love pixie hats! I have been wanting to make one for my 10 month old, but with so much Christmas crafting going on, it might have to be for his birthday!
ReplyDeleteThat pixie hat is wondeful and that child ....so cute in the pixie hat.
