I’m making progress on my knitting but the catching up is going to take a number of days. I’m up to the third day. There is hope that I’ll get current at some point in December as long as I keep on moving forward. Thankfully, today I had a lot of time to knit because […]
Advent and Christmas prep are in the air. I am really enjoying the drive to Mason’s school each day. There are so many festive houses. I often think of Sophia because she loves to show me the decorations in her neighborhood. I specifically snapped this picture for her. Today was the second day of the […]
I started a new pattern for my advent knitting yesterday. I have wanted to make a shrug for some time and I have been stalking patterns forever! The Textured Pop Shrug seems like it will lend itself well to being knit in a scrappy fashion. I cast on and made some progress. It was a […]
