Gramma's Brag Book

Last Sunday I traveled north to spend the day with my grandkids, oldest son and DIL. It was a nice mild day outside. We started out for the park, the 2 1/2 year old skating, the 7 year old riding her scooter and the 10 year old running ahead. Gramma found it impossible to take the infinitesimal baby steps needed to match the skater's snail pace without her back beginning to ache. Oldest sister and I finally each had to take one hand each and pull little brother back home at an adult sized gait.

Little brother wasn't too happy at being told which direction to skate.

I took the crocheted hats I've been working on while watching TV this winter. I know it's almost Spring, but better late than never, eh?

Avery is the hat lover. Here she's modeling a headband, which she wore for the rest of the day.

Granny square hat with big flower on the side.

I got his head size a little wrong. Oldest sister said she will wear it until he grows in to it.

I came home with a request for a granny square hat from my DIL in a more subdued color scheme and my oldest granddaughter ordered a hat with ear flaps in purples, greens and blues. I'm happy to oblige. I've got the yarn so I better get started. They'll be ready just in time for next year.

    The hats are beautiful! What a compliment, too, from your granddaughter and DIL asking that you knit more!

    Fabulous hats, Stevie! Well done.

    Thanks for your kind comment on my poem today! The vintage scale weight is Chinese, btw, from Nanjing. Just a little something WT brought home in his pocket.

    Oh, I love those hats! And the grandkids are just darling...they're the perfect models! I've never been able to make a granny square...and I can only crochet straight things like afghans. I was in Jo-Ann's the other day and was drooling over some of the beautiful yarns available, wishing I knew how to knit. Maybe I'll take classes some day.

I'm glad you stopped by and I look forward to your comments. As Dr. Fraser Crane would say, "Hello, I'm listening."
