What I've been up to



I have no idea where summer and autumn went. Well, I do, but those details are not for here. I was happy to finish this baby jacket and hat and booties for my new nephew. It was made with Swish Tonal worsted, named Kindling, a super soft merino yarn from Knitpicks. I have a few other things going, socks and mittens and such, a scarf and a blanket, but how to find the time to work on them? I always have such high hopes of providing my loved ones with high quality hand knit and crocheted keepsake garments and accessories, but its rare that any of them are done on time. This set, however, was. 


We opened the first jar of black raspberry jelly, since the ground is white with snow. Is so fun to taste summer when temps are in the single digits and the snow is cold and crunchy on the ground. Andy is out hunting, and the kids and I can't seem to drift away from the warmth of the wood stove. I am excited to start a project today that I hope is done in time for Christmas this year. I have high hopes.
