Joining Ginny of Small Things
The second sweater of 2013 is complete! The In Threes: A Baby Cardigan turned out beautifully. It is a bit big on my youngest but she will be able to wear it in the fall too. It was so much fun to knit. I think I will knit the smallest size next and put it away for future babies. I like it so much that I think I will knit another one for my youngest gal in a different color. Below is the beginning of a cat from Mamma4earth patterns. I am making cats for both my girls for Valentine's Day. I love her patterns because they are easy to follow and have wonderful pictures to aid in the process!
I am reading The Uninvited Guests by Sadie Jones. I just began it so I don't have much of an opinion about it yet. I am still slowly pushing my way through Simplicity Parenting. It is enlightening and reaffirms my parenting beliefs.
I just got my order of chickadee yarn from Quince & Co. in the color of parsley. I am using their pattern of a simple cardigan. I began winding the yarn last night by candlelight because our area lost power. It was rather spiritual and lovely. My husband teased me and said that I was secretly excited because I could knit by candlelight like my ancestors before me. ( he knows me so well )
Happy Knitting! Please feel free to leave a link to your Yarn Along!
xo.
I love the in threes pattern - if only I had someone to knit it for!
ReplyDeleteYour parsley yarn looks lovely :o)
thank you. Little ones grow so fast and sometimes I miss out on patterns. I am trying to stock up before we have another one.
Deleteknitting by candlelight sounds so romantic :) Love the yarn!!! The cardi is delightful and I just love the yoke detail.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun and my husband was listening to commentary of the Battle of Gettysburg on his computer (he is a history buff and I was a high school history teacher). I grew up very close to Gettysburg so it was kind of magical:)
DeleteI lived in Maryland for four months years ago, the people I stayed with were history buffs. They set me up to watch the Battle of Gettysburg one night when they were out and then took me on the tour...it was amazing!
Deletereally! I was born and raised in Maryland. It truly is a small world!
DeleteLove the new yarn, and the cardigan looks great. Knitting by candlelight...been there, love it!
