Here’s the last hat I’d planned to make for my mother-in-law.
It’s brioche stitch. Aside from the color variation, it’s the pattern from Weekend Knits. I’m loving me some brioche stitch. It feels amazing. It’s so pretty. It totally has me wanting this book.
So, once I finish shortening the Esther Williams hat I showed you yesterday, (I must have dozed off during the knitting of it, because while I knew I had to lengthen it, I didn’t have to lengthen it 3 inches!), the only other hat I have in mind to knit for her, if I get that far, would be a Tweedy Batt beanie. I wouldn’t have thought my Tweedy Batts would spin into a yarn soft enough, but my wristlets are softer than a hat she got from the hospital that she wears, so I’m interested to see how it’d work.
But, finishing the shawl may be a higher priority right now. I don’t know. I’m fighting a sinus infection and my brain’s all fuzzy.

Hi Laura!
Love reading your blog. Those day to day things aren’t boring to us. We can relate! Just sayin…
Wanted to say I love your brioche stich hat. I have the book. I’ve attempted this pattern several times and YIKES once I got messed up I ripped it all back. For some reason I kept making errors (don’t recall what it was now). The pattern is easy though!! Yours looks great.
Love the sweet nursing pics. I’m a pedinurse and it’s a sweet sight. Rock on…as you know, he’ll never get a more perfect food!
