There was even time to knit. I started and almost finished another Koolhaas Hat. I didn't bring dpns with me, so I had to wait until we got home to finish it. I'm calling it my "Rum Cream Koolhaas" because the colors remind me of Jamaica Rum Cream, the most delicious drink on ice that I've ever tasted. It's rather like Irish Cream, but so much better.
We brought a few bottles back.
Project: Koolhaas Hat by Jared Flood of brooklyntweed
Yarn: 100purewool.com 3-ply merino in "Tostado" colorway
Mods: none (4 repeats, not 5)
You know, for all the complaining I've been doing about this winter, I was so happy to come back to 30-degree temps. Today it's 41 and the snow and ice is melting. Much of the week it's going to be in the 30s. That's all a girl can ask for--it's my 36th birthday tomorrow and I'm just glad it's not supposed to snow.
ETA: *sob* it snowed last night. I guess there are worse things, right?

Love the pic of your two from behind. It's so sweet. I'm glad you had a good vacation, and...happy birthday!!!
Happy Birthday tomorrow! What a great vacation. I can only dream!! I love the color of your hat. I really should make one but have so much on the needles now.
Welcome home and Happy Birthday! I'm so glad you were able to enjoy, relax, and have fun on your vacation. Love the picture of the kids and the hat matches the drink perfectly.
Yay! I am glad you're back, I was wondering how the trip went! I'm so glad everyone had a great time and that Koolhaas looks positively LUSH.
Happy Birthday! I'm so glad you got to get away and you enjoyed it. I could really use a vacation... I'm a little bit envious... Koolhaas is beautiful!
Happy Birthday!!!
Sounds like a lot of fun! I'm heading off on vacation at the end of this week with my friend and her husband and their 2 boys, who are the same age as yours. It should be interesting! :)
Your hat looks great! I love the subtlety of the colors.
Happy Birthday and Happy Spring!
Glad you had a great time!
Happy birthday too!
Welcome home! Glad that everyone had a great time. I'm sure the warm weather was a nice change from the snow. Happy Birthday to you. Hope it is a good one.
Ooh what a loverly vacation! It's funny, because I really only like doing warmer climates in the 'off' season, because I'm not a huge fan of heat either! Your hat looks great!
Happy belated birthday! Your vacation sounds wonderful.
glad your vacation was wonderful. hope your birthday was too! take care.
Happy belated birthday! Your hat is great -- I love that pattern and want to give it a try. Add it to the list, I guess. So glad you had fun on your vacation. Welcome home!
Hi, Genuine from Ravelry. That hat is seriously cool. The subtle muted colors---it looks so soft and---I'm convinced that if I knit the Koolhaas, I'll be changed into a cute moody knit blogger with photography skillz. I'm pathetic. Oh, I'm adding you to my blogroll---BUT I am now on wordpress. thelumpysweater.wordpress.com is where ya can find me now.
