Joining in with Ginny at Small Things for another yarn along! So, I had a big week in knitting. Well, more just a week of finishing projects, so it made me feel like I was accomplishing a lot. Don't you love the feeling of finishing something up? I finally finished Phoebe's tiny tea leaves and I am so in love with it. Blue is her color and the cardi is just so sweet. I also finished up a second drop-stitch cowl (I LOVE these cowls!) and decided to keep in for myself. Why not? I also knit up a quick new pair of mittens for Phoebe. Moshi ate her last pair and the weather has been mighty cold. So, what am I knitting now? I am just getting ready to start this adorable cowl/hat for Phoebe. I am a little nervous, as part of the trim is crochet, and I have no clue how to do it, but it is too cute to not try. I just bought yarn for a Milo vest for Phoebe too, so I am hoping to cast that on soon as well.
Just started reading Cutting for Stone. My mom sent it to me awhile back, and after 2 more friends recommending it, I decided I should dig in. It is set in Ethiopia, and I always seem to get sucked into books that take place in Africa. So far I am loving it.
What are you reading? What are you knitting?
She is beautiful in her new sweater! The color is great and I love the ruching detail at the yoke!!

ReplyDeleteGoodness! Phoebe in her blue sweater is almost too much! So precious. I found the neck to wide in the tiny tea leaves I knit but yours looks just perfect!
