Emma's sweater - done!
Oh it has taken quite a while to get to this point! I am so happy to be done *almost* with Emma's sweater dress. It is definitely a little big, but that is what I wanted since I want it to fit her for a while. This will be perfect for the spring and fall. I still need to weave in the ends, but you now have an idea of what it looks like.
Now I need to figure out something easy and quick to knit. I think I might have to go back to baby socks! Or maybe a dishrag, I can always use more of those!
As far as reading goes, yesterday I finished reading The Compelled. Loved it, of course I love all things Vampire Diaries, so it works out well. Now if I could just find out if they are going to write anymore books! I think there are so many stories that can be told. I have several books I am waiting on from the library, well they are waiting on me to pick them up I guess. Learning All The Time, Your Money or Your Life, and Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac. All of which seem very interesting, and completely unrelated!
I also got a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday, so I have a few new books coming in the mail. A Charlotte Mason Companion, Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health, and Putting Food By: Fifth Edition. Clearly I have a lot of reading in my future! As I like it!
Looking forward to seeing what everyone else is knitting and reading at this week's yarn along! And just a note, I cannot get that child to stand still for a picture for anything!
