Yarn Along

I'll spare you the pictures of my very little progress on my shawl.  Last week I had zero time for knitting so I've fallen behind in my mystery knit along.  Tonight Pete and the 3 oldest children have church activities so I'm planning to let the younger ones watch a movie so I can hide in my room and make some progress!  This is the kind of knitting that requires silence and concentration- both very hard to come by.  I'm enjoying the challenge for the most part, but I'll be relieved when it's over with and I can move on to some less stressful knitting.  I'm nearly done with Silas' sweater.  I just have to either put in a button band or a zipper and I haven't decided yet which I'm going to do.  I did buy yarn to make this sweater for Ella and Charlotte which I'm very excited about!  I plan to give myself plenty of time, making it my goal to have them done in the fall.


I'm reading this book which is just all a bunch of dreaming for me because Pete says I can't have chickens (and our town agrees) unless we move.  So we'll start with a garden and see how I do with that.

Reading this reminded me I had a dream last night where we got two chickens and two ducks! Out of the question in reality, with a tiny concrete backyard, but a nice dream!

The sweater pattern is lovely.

I've read your book and enjoyed it and read all the past history of her blog and up to a year or two ago, then I fell by the wayside. I dream of a bit more independence and growing, too. She's a little more extreme then I'd be willing to switch. I just finished The Prayer Box and loved it. And like you, have just found the time and peace to knit this week. Good luck with all that! Hoping you get some knitting in.

Found your blog via the yarn along and spent a good chunk of time laughing and nodding. I think we live pretty similar lives. :-) It was a delight to "meet" you!
