I have abandoned the baby sweater I started two weeks ago. I think I will tear it out and restart at a later date.
I found a cute (and easy) baby sweater to crochet in the meantime via ravelry.com called "Nessa's Sweater." This pattern is the same for all sizes- preemie to twelve month- only changes being the yarn weight and hook size.
The yarn on the bottom is called "Peruvian Print." It's turning out pretty funky and random. I wonder if someone goofed and the company decided to name it something cool sounding to sell the yarn. (Side note: I did not buy this yarn because of its cool name, it was given to me. I have a lot of "interesting" yarn that people didn't want.)No, this is not some roundabout way of saying that I'm expecting. This sweater is going to be for my niece, Nora, who will be one next month.
The sweater pattern does have sleeves. I think the sweater looks cute without the sleeves, but because Winter is coming, I will add sleeves.
I have been wearing sweaters everyday. It's that time of year, but I'm always cold. Always.
Last week, here in western PA, we had close to six inches of snow. Now? We have partly sunny skies with highs in the 60s. My sinuses did not appreciate such a change and I was feeling miserable yesterday. This morning, I woke up with the ability to breathe out my nose and am feeling refreshed. (I did take allergy medicine, so I'm blaming my sudden sickness on said allergies.)
When I woke up Sunday morning to a yard full of bright, white snow, I wanted to hibernate.
I still want to hibernate.
I'm ready to hunker down in front of the fireplace, get my crocheting, and have my cat Alfie cuddle up next to me.
Chicken update: Our three new hens are starting to lay eggs. We now have white, brown and blue eggs. It's fun when we get double yolks, too.
My second sewing class is tonight. I will be explaining how to read a paper pattern and how to construct various seams and hems.
Good stuff, right?
What good stuff are you working on? <3
