Weekend of Firsts

This weekend was a crazy one.  I had a knitting retreat on Friday and Saturday and Will had his first ever soccer game as well.  Knitting was great.  Friday was a finishing class which was five hours (yes, 5) of intense knitting.  I learned a lot and hope to be able to remember half!  Saturday was fair isle and I was so nervous I would be crap and ended up loving it.  I had to leave the class an hour early to go to Will's game but I still learned quite a bit.  

Here is the hat that I started yesterday and finished today. Will says it "bugs" him-I think it's just itchy.  It's done in Mission Falls 1824 Wool and I think it feels great, but I'm not a little kid with super sensitive skin.   

Another shot...
This is Will in his "I won't move an inch" pose.  Apparently you must purse your lips and look melancholy in order to hold still.  Here's a pic of the top of the hat...
And here's a close up of my mad hot fair isle skills...
Can you tell I'm quite proud?  Here are the details... Pattern: Halton Crown Hat from "Kids 

Knitted Hats"

      Yarn: Mission Falls 1824 Wool

      Date: 4/26/08-4/27/08

      Changes: Added green color to the crown

and shortened the rib from 2"

to about 1".

Okay, enough of the hat.  Now to soccer.  It was hilarious because all the kids on Will's team are 3.  They had NO idea what they were doing.  At the end of the game, Will had finally had enough and came crying off the field saying that the other team wouldn't share the ball with him.  Most of the time he just ran.  No direction, just ran.  Lizzy had a blast hanging out with my Dad, sister Brooke and niece Morgan.  In this first picture, Will his comparing his muscles with his buddy during a time out. 

In this one, Lizzy is attempting to walk (she actually took about 7 steps together tonight!)
All in all, a pretty great weekend.  I hope everyone else had a good one as well.
