I want to remind you that there's just one week to go until the submissions deadline for Nest: Bringing Warmth Home! (I first posted about the project here). After a proper trying-on and photo shoot, these three hats are ready to go. I've got my knitting already packed for our camping trip this weekend, hoping to maybe finish a few more. (A long car ride, some dock sits, a hammock rest. Yes, I think I can squeeze in some knitting.) And then, they'll be off to join the rest of the lovely, warm things that have been coming in to the project. It's been such an honor to watch this project take shape, at the helm of its organizer, Jean. I think there are going to be some warmer heads, hands and hearts this winter because of the efforts.
And that silly photo? I must tell you that the shirts were not my idea. These little ones of mine like to play 'camera' nearly as much as I do (and there are an equal number of their photo shoots on my hard drive). When I mentioned that I wanted to get a photo of the three of them wearing these hats, but that they needed to put some more clothes on (ahem), they all marched upstairs together, giggling and conspiring. And this is what they came down in. The hugging? Totally unprompted too. As was the wrestling match that quickly followed...
