Ripping out the second Koolhaat. Let us never speak of it again. Luscious yarn will go into time out to think about what it has done. Casting on for a third Koolhaat, this time in different yarn that will hopefully offer sufficient yardage.
I went to the orthopedic surgeon today, to discuss the continuing issues I've been having with my shoulders. (This is another reason why I haven't been knitting much.) I ended up having an MRI and a follow-up appointment with the surgeon on Wednesday. So much for accomplishing anything at work this week. But on the bright side, my shoulder feels great! Because that is how the world works. If you make an appointment about your pain level, by the time the doctor can actually see you three weeks later, the pain is gone.
In the meantime, I'll be knitting a Koolhaat.

Knits in action!
Knits: Where are they now?
Baby O's Christmas sweater is still getting use this spring. He's already in 9-month clothing because he's very long, but I made the 6-12 month size so he should be able to wear this if we have another weird summer where it doesn't get very hot.
It is keeping him warm on springtime walks in his stroller. His new favorite thing is being outside.
Also, something that I finished knitting recently! As recently as last week!
The Koolhaas pattern, known hereafter as the Koolhaat or the Koolass hat. I used a bit more than half a skein of Malabrigo, so I'm hoping to squeeze a pair of mitts out of the remainder of the skein. I almost forgot how OMG SO SOFT Malabrigo is. If only it were superwash. My lovely roommate is modeling the hat here, but it doesn't really fit her giant melon head, so it will be going to someone with a slightly smaller head measurement.
People, this hat is addictive. I may be knitting a second hat (!) with plans for more in the works. I love the tiny cable twists and the elegant decreases. I also love my Hiya Hiya Interchangeable needle set. The only complaint I have so far is that the needle part comes untwisted from the cord when I ktbl, and that's probably just a function of how I maneuver the needle. Overall I love them. Almost as much as Malabrigo.

Because it never fails to make me laugh.
This video is a bit old, but it always manages to cheer me up when I'm having a bad day. Knitting to come!
