Joining Ginny of Small Things

 

 

 

I've been kind of slacking on the knitting this past week because baking has taken over our small house. But I have made some progress. Sadly, I finished the baby heirloom sweater and after all that work, I just don't like the way it looks. I have been rather frustrated about it so I put it away for now and maybe I'll feel better about it in a few weeks. I am almost finished the Milo Sweater for my oldest gal. She wants to put in on so badly but I want to add some embellishments to it first. I have loved knitting this sweater and can't wait to start another. I decided to start work on a sweater from the pattern In Threes: A baby cardigan. Super easy and a quick knit. It won't be finished for my baby in time for Christmas but it will make a nice Epiphany gift. It's not pictured above but I am also almost finished my infinity cowl. Just in time for our trip up north. 

I am also finishing a great book, The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. I must recommend this book! I wasn't sure if I would like it because it seemd a little sad from the book flap but it is amazing! A haunting winter read. I think I will start re-reading the Little House on the Praire series next or maybe The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. I know that is a weird choice but this time of year always reminds me reading that book in 12th grade for my literature class. I am sure what is was about that story but it really helped form my love of the classics. As far as knitting goes, I think I will work on some more cowls and neck wraps. I am building a stock for the future. We will moving here in the next year or so and I am putting little wishes of a location with a cold winter into each knit item. Upstate New York sounds nice...don't you think? We have lived there once with the Navy and I wouldn't mind that again. 

 

I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Blessings to you and yours!
