Do you smell that?

Utah State!

As fall makes an appearance around our house, something happens to my husband. When we were first married, I was worried because I didn't smell what he did. Now I know what's coming and I am much less worried. This strange phenomena is particularly heightened around high schools. Andrew will turn to me sniffing the air and saying, "Do you smell that? It smells like football!"

When we married I was not an avid football fan. To be frank I didn't understand the game at all. After running offenses in the backyard, I have a basic knowledge and can actually follow the game now.

What does all this have to do with my blog, well I will tell you! I have tried out a new pattern from Playing Hooky designs and discovered it is perfect for football season. For two reasons, one it is a very warm hat and two the color scheme possibilities are perfect for showing team pride on game day!

White Elephant

Oh, you are going to love this! One of the awesome ladies in my neighborhood asked me to make these hats for her as a family white elephant gift. Let me know what you think!

The Boy's Vest

Tonight's project comes to you from my little guy.  I have been on this kick lately of making baby girl clothes and realized I have not made many projects for boys, weird.  The truth is most patterns out there are cute for girls and kind of okay for boys. But I will work to improve that.  So here it is: the boy's sweater vest! 

As usual this is not my pattern, but if you would like it you can click here.  For those of you who crochet let me say the pattern says the small size is 2T-4T.  It is definitely more 4T.  It is huge on my son and he is roughly the size of a tank.

I do plan on making this project again with a few tweeks and hopefully I will achieve the right size fore my guy.  Enjoy!
