A few weeks ago, I received a surprise package in the mail (which I love!). Inside was a copy of the book Inklings. I instantly knew who had sent it! Father John's family has been close with Father Michael, Auntie Janet, and their daughter for years (Father Michael was Father John's godfather!) and I recently connected with Auntie Janet on Facebook. She and I share the same taste in books and movies and she not only recommended this book series to me, she sent me the first one! I am so touched! I am several chapters in and I really like it!
I finally cast on for Sugar Plum's hat and cowl set and have found it to be a quick knit. You see, I knit up the beret in the child's size and we found that it was much too big! I ripped it out and am now knitting the toddler size. Hopefully, it will be perfect for my little girl's head and in a few days, she will be toasty warm!
Beautiful blog, I will be back when I have some more time to read your posts, found you through Ginnys Yarn Along!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when the sizing isn't right! My petite kids always need a size down from the recommended one for their age but I stress that it will be too small.
ReplyDeleteThat book looks fun, what a special gift!
I love getting mail like that. What beautiful yarn you are using. I love quick projects. Gives a real sense of accomplishment!
