Knit hat, wrestling and pug pics….

Today’s post is a bit of a miscellany!

First and foremost, the wrestling season wrapped up for the year on Saturday, with the Pine Tree Wrestling League state-wide meet. Joshua made it to the quarter finals before he lost…WOW!

Here’s Joshua about to get his hand raised for the win for the last time this year:

Hubby and I are trying to convince Joshua to attend a wrestling camp away from home this summer; he absolutely loves wrestling more than anything (even skateboarding he told me, though I expect not more than guitar!). But, he is not wild about going to unknown places where he doesn’t know anyone, either. We’ll work on him! We are incredibly proud of him–even though Maine is a small state, it has some awesome wrestlers, and Joshua is in one of the most competitive weight brackets. It is FANTASTIC that he has done so well (and yep, I’m crowing!).

When the wrestling season began, I dug out my knitting (and ordered some new patterns from Just One More Row). Due to me being lazy and not doing a gauge swatch, I ended up knitting this hat about three times, but that’s OK! It kept me busy. I used a chunky chenille style yarn, and finished yersterday. I’m probably an intermediate pushing toward advanced knitter, and I learned new things and stitches from this pattern and another, so I’m quite happy with them. Asked hubby what he thought: “I’m glad you like it,” he said. Oh well. And I DO like it! The front view, taking picture of self:

And finally, gratuitously cute pug puppy pics:
