Hello!
The past few days have been lovely, weatherwise. Quoting Goldilocks, neither too hot, nor too cold, but just right. Over the past two weeks we’ve had several hot days, though, with one when our outdoor thermometer reached 39 ˚C (102 ˚F) in the shade. Pffffff, waaaay too hot to have a pile of knitting on my lap (we don’t have an air conditioner). What is a person who can’t NOT knit to do on days like that?
Faced with that conundrum, I thought of knitting something really small. Some more of those Gift Leaves, but even smaller than the ones I knit before, for an earrings-and-pendant set. At first, I thought I’d use embroidery floss – all those lovely colours to choose from!
I’ve been knitting leaves to put on pumpkin hat by Susan Anderson in Itty bitty hats.
This is so timely!!
I’ve taken a look at the pumpkin hat you’re knitting and it’s fun! The difference between the leaf in that pattern and mine is that the pumpkin hat leaf is in stocking stitch while mine are in garter stitch. Did you see my Gift Leaves, too?
