My mom would often say of me that,
“She has a bee in her bonnet.” Other
times she would murmur about me being “On a tear.” I spent a lot of time with my trusty Grolier Dictionary and Encyclopedias searching for explanations of the things she was
saying about me. The closest I could
come was to believe that the bee/bonnet thing meant I was buzzed about
something and being on a tear meant I was off and chasing something.
I believe the proper description of
my new fascination would be “B” in my bonnet, and the “B” stands for
Bohus. Have you ever knit any Bohus
patterns? I love Fair Isle but I
certainly have never been Bohus brave. The time is NOW!
Because they are so very involved I plan to
start with a hat (bonnet). I’m
assembling yarns and colors and plan to start in the weeks ahead.
I can hardly wait to finish this
year’s sweater because I love the colors so much. I bought the yarn before the eye surgery so
the colors are not what I thought at first.
Knit Pick’s Comfy is yummy yarn and I thought the color “Hawk” was a
soft mink brown. It is not! Hawk is most certainly grey, but it still
looks good with the coral and green for the shoulder bib.
Macy is a blur as she plays with two toys at once.
Max says, “Do you have a treat?”
Life is good.

Is a Bohus like a Lopi? Colorwork on the yoke only?
I love your color combos.
HI PUPPIES! SO good to see you. And that little tongue stick out is adorable.
I've never heard of Bohus, so I must investigate.
Love the photos of Max and Macy. I got a chuckle from Macy's two toys. I hope Max got his treat: he's adorable.
Well I use your Moms, "Bee in the bonnet" on the regular as the kids say. I've dabbled with "on a tear" and I'm not afraid to use "hell bent" either.
Anyways, I get in moods. Usually it's related to baking.
I am not a Bohus or Fair Isle knitter. Just haven't gotten to Fair Isle yet, but doesn't mean I don't appreciate it!
