Summer's here and yes I'm still alive...
Wow, it's been like 6 months since my last post. I could say that I've been really busy taking care of my daughter and home and just haven't had time, but that isn't entirely true. I do have a few minutes every day to sit and write something, but alas I have been preoccupied doing other things. Like knitting a sweater for my husband.
Cobblestone sweater from Interweave Knits Fall 2007. Knit with Cascade Ecological Wool in a gray color on size 8 needles. It turned out a little big, but better too big than too little. Hubby likes it and will wear it a lot this winter. This was probably what I spent the majority of my free time during naps while Hubby was at work. Didn't quite have it done for his birthday, but did get it finished shortly after.
I also knit myself a pair of wristwarmers out of Noro Cash Iroha. Love them and will wear them lots in the fall and spring.
Other than knitting I have been watching Hannah grow, start eating solids, roll over and now she is just about crawling.
We recently returned from a trip to Cordova to visit Grandparents and extended family on my side. She was much loved and adored and they would have loved to keep her there, but she did return home to her Daddy with me. We arrived home to a very messy and dysfunctional home due to a kitchen remodel that was started and mostly completed while we were away. It's mostly finished now, just a few details left. Luckily it's done enough that I'm able to put kitchen stuff back where it goes. More to come on the kitchen soon.
Time to go see what Hannah is getting into.

YAY! You're back! :)
The sweater turned out very nice! And definitely better to err on the side of big, especially since layers tend to be standard issue in Juneau when the weather turns. The gauntlets are adorable as well, I love that stitch pattern and the color is gorgeous! I am amazed Hannah doesn't try to rip the needles and yarn out of your hands, that's one of the main reasons my fibery pursuits have stalled. ANYTHING I touch she wants, and it doesn't make following a pattern very easy!
You have to post pictures of the kitchen remodel, I am curious to see what you're doing with it (fixing those flimsy cabinets, I hope!).
Hannah does look to be growing in leaps and bounds - 8-12 months were SO much fun with Callie, watching these kids grow is the best :) Be sure to update us occasionally on baby-related news and take care!
