The house project is taking longer than expected. The weather has been colder than usual. I had to buy additional crafty stuff since we didn't expect to be in rental house for this extended period. I am counting down the days for the next few weeks ... all this plus work makes a stressy brain.

To pass the time and not get too anxious, I have been working on a good mindless Cheesylove. Plain, black, rib is just not interesting to post. I also swatched Venezia with Shetland natural black and natural white. Oh, I did manage to finish and gift a baby knit for this cute boy. Counting down the days .. at least the days are getting longer :)

Yes! Mom sent me pictures of her and dad in their sweaters. She called yesterday asking for something something recipe... and she finished her BIG WOOL sweater! Yeah. I gave her wash and dry instruction, with the nice smelly SOAK I sent her.

Here is one of in-prog pic in the mirror and she picked up stitches for the collar on her first try. She knitted for us when we were little, but this is her first sweater in a long long time. Yay mom :)
