Wine Tasting

by ⋅ 6 Comments

A couple of weekends ago, while J1 was camping, DH, J2, J3 and I went to my sister and BIL’s house in the Foothills. There are TONS of wineries around them and we’ve gone wine tasting once or twice. My dad and stepmom and my aunt and uncle came up too. We had a yummy brunch first! My sister’s friend, Tamara, also joined us. My BIL stayed home to play in his yard (his form of therapy) and watch the kids. Dh and my dad were the designated drivers and I can’t even tell you how many wineries we visited! The pictures below are from one of the last ones we visited.

J2’s hat, v.2

J2’s Hat, started April 16th, 2007, finished April 18th, 2007
Pattern: Just Your Basic Beanie
Yarn: Woolease
Needles: Addi Turbos, size 7
Pattern Notes: J2 chose the colors and the pattern. Once I talked him out of red and green (too Christmasy for me). 😉
Would I knit it again? Definitely. This is the pattern I use for all the charity hats I do. And, I’ve done them for my DH and all the boys. This is J2’s replacement hat! :/ Grr We’ll find it eventually I imagine. Finished just in time to take camping – he’s thrilled it covers all his hair and his ears. lol
