A Mavis hat for Cooper

Are you noticing a trend? This hat pattern is just the cutest and now that I've knit it twice for gifts, I decided (and Nicholas chimed in too) that Cooper needed one as well. It stays on his head, keeps him warm, doesn't fall in his eyes, and looks so darn adorable.

Details:
- Yarn: Plymouth Yarn DK Merino superwash
- Pattern: the hat from the Mavis pattern trio by Oomieknits
- Needles: US size 5, sized down, as is my usual for my loose tension.
- Specifics/modifications: Same notes as the one I knit a few weeks ago. I knit the 6-9 month size and it fits Cooper perfectly. My ravelry page for this project can be found here.
I captured a few of these photos before I sewed on the button, but they were too cute not to include. ;) I'm thrilled and he seems content when he's wearing it, so that's a success!

Corran cardigan, finished
Several weeks ago, I finished a new cardigan! This project was the first time I've done an all over lace pattern, as well as the first time I've made a drop shoulder construction cardigan.

Life lately, early September 2023
Today, the air felt different. Cooler and more crisp. Filled with anitcipation. The last several weeks since my last "life lately" post, have been filled with a lot of summery fun and they've felt full. I might be getting ahead of myself, since it was in the upper eighties this past weekend, but decidedly, I love the shift that comes with slightly cooler weather. Nevertheless, here are some things we've been up to in recent weeks:

Creativity check, late July 2023
As July comes to a close, I wanted to check in and share some recent projects I've been working on, as well as a few that I've completed. I also wanted to share some creative-focused podcasts I've been enjoying, and some musings about crafting in community and future plans for knitting, sewing, and a brand new, very-beginner skill for me: crochet!
