I (finally) finished up Rose’s Phoebe’s sweater. I’m glad I saved the huge sweater for last. It’s such a reminder of how much Rose has grown that it takes so long to knit for her! Speaking of that, I am now knitting the little mouse sweaters. It’s so satisfying how quickly one of them knits…

Yarn Along
Joining in with Ginny today! I finished Clothilde’s Phoebe sweater last week, and am now making a start on one for Rose. She requested the same color – Quince & Co’s Winesap. It reminds me of Little Red Ridinghood with this pattern. I’ve finished the decorative border on the bottom and am struggling through the…
Yarn Along
Still working on the Phoebe’s sweater for Clothilde. It is turning out to be so cute! I tried it on her already and I really like the look of it even without the sleeves and hood. I am thinking of knitting a couple that way as a long winter vest of sorts, one that…

I usually make my own patterns, but I haven’t had the ability or time to think over enough details to really make something wearable since Clothilde was born. It’s hard enough to have…
Yarn Along
Baby is sleeping, so I have hands free for knitting (and a photo) and I can join in with the Yarn Along again! I am reading Drowned Ammet by Dianna Wynne Jones. It’s the second book in the Dalemark series. It’s another one that we got at the library to read to the children, but…
Yarn Along
I generally try to strictly talk about the farm here–really this is mostly for family and far-away friends to keep up with our doings than for anyone to read, but for so long I’ve wanted to join in on the Wednesday Yarn Along. Reading and knitting is just what I love! Somehow, something always happens–I’m…
