he's home. (!!!! sflasklfjaslkf!!!!)
when i started this blog, we were dating. we lived across town from one another, just a short bike ride away. we married in college & lived in a tiny attic apartment. we held hands while bicycling to our classes. we moved a couple of years later to begin our careers & stretch ourselves much more than we ever thought we could. he drove 45 minutes to work & i hated most every day of my job. we grew tired of the difficulty & lack of community so we moved upstate. he stayed on the farm during the week & i found my dream job. he drove two hours home on the weekends, listening to podcasts & npr. we had community, but we didn't share a home.
he's finally home & i cannot tell you how good it all feels. this morning he opened up the garage, dusted off his bicycle & rode to work. with his helmet on.
before he left, i asked if he would pose in his new knitted hat i made him for valentine's day & he agreed. that's what us blogging wives do, right? then he quickly put on his helmet & left just in time for his first day.
here's a bit about the hat. the purl bee is such a dream & i found the pattern here. i was looking for a fairly simple hat with detail. i used one wooly blend skein of lamb's pride yarn in the most beautiful yellowish green. i plan to cast on one for myself in a robin's egg blue color. the hat knitting obsession continues.
wishing you a wonderful week of knitting, bicycles & love
love,
natalie

very cute...and i'm glad you mentioned the helmet because i was about to give you some shit for that :) so happy for you guys! xo
julia, i mentioned the helmet JUST FOR YOU! haha! we always wear our helmets. only for photos do we take it off ;)
I understand the Hat knitting addiction. It's a really beautiful hat, love the pattern and the colour. 10 out of 10. :) P.s. I've been folowing you and your husband online for years, you kids are awesome.
the creative workshop- so happy to hear you've been around for awhile! thank you so much for reading :)!
that pattern looks delightful! all your knitting projects look fantastic. i over-knit last month and now i need to rest my hands. i'm building up a long list of knitting projects i'm dying to start, but can't! ah, i'll just live vicariously through you. love your blog!
Natalie, it turned out just lovely. My husband and I are doing long-distance right now (without hopes of seeing each other until April!) and it is so very hard. Knowing that you are working towards a shared goal for ourselves though, that ultimately it's going to come together, helps. I'm happy your honey is home now. +Chelsea
It always makes life easier when you are able to follow your dreams and do what you love. I hope you two get to be in closer proximity though! :D And LOVE that hat...the color is perfect!
ooh! I really, REALLY like this pattern! I think I'll give it a go.
That is such a lovely hat! Thank you for the link to the pattern :)
