Easter Dress

Here's a sneak peak at this little dress I made for L from this simple pattern Whitney sent me from Knitty (it's at the bottom of the page). It turned out really nicely (unlike the sweater vest I made John...), and it came together in just a day. It's the 6 month size, and it's still a little big on her!

Cables!

This Christmas my family played a little game where we all wrote down things we wanted do, people we wanted to be more like, and habits we wanted to break in the new year.

My new thing was learning to cable knit. I've wanted to do it for years, but just hadn't gotten to it. So one day last week I sat down with my book and read about cable knitting. That's it? Really? I put it off all this time, and really that's all.

So cables really aren't very hard. This is going to be a little hat for L (just in time for summer). I just made up a little pattern based on this one, mostly just to give me a project to do cables. I'll show it when it's finished.

Snow Day

The weather was so lovely when we went hiking, and then we had maybe 4 inches of heavenly snow, and then yesterday it was so nice and warm we played out side. Today it's rainy. Whatever - I'm enjoying all of it. Here's our snow day.
