Day 9, 2015 Attention Span of a Goldfish

 You can laugh with me or even at me this morning!

I have the shortest attention span in the Knituniverse.

My baby blanket was not wide enough and I was bored.

I turned it into a baby bonnet. 

 Just so you are correctly informed, a goldfish is said to have the shortest attention span....of 3 seconds. 

I'm not that easily bored, but I'm darn close. 

Here's how I converted it:

I cast on 100 stitches on a circular needle. 

I knitted the pattern of Knit a row

K2P2 the second row.

I did this for 4 inches. 

Then I Knit 2 together across the row.

Then I knit a row. 

I repeated these two rows and switched to double points when I decreased so much that I couldn't stay on circulars.

Then I pulled the last eight stitches through tightly.

Finally I crocheted two chains for the ties.

I know of a girl baby who is expected this year...and she's going to get this pretty little bonnet. 

I used Zara yarn. It is soft and has a wonderful spring to it. 

 These tiny narcissus are blooming and a have soft lovely fragrance.  I am so happy to see and smell these little blossoms.

A friend of Zachary's is shooting them off. 

So baby bonnets, blossoms and boom! 

Hows your Friday going?
