🌧You guys it’s super stormy, wet, windy, and cold here today. I’m trying to stay warm and cozy before heading out again with this tiny, adorable baby Flax Light sweater💗. Baby sweaters warm the soul and so do books and knitting. I literally just finished “Nine Perfect Strangers” by Liane Moriarty 👌🏻. 📚Have any of you read it yet? What are you knitting/reading right now?
.
📚That pile of books in corner is me stocking up from the library for the holiday season. It was a good hold week 🙌🏻😃 and I’m counting down until my 2 week vacation....bring on the laziness 🙊😋.
.
🧶Yarn I’m using is sooo good! Its Hibernate Fingering (100% Organic Merino, naturally dyed) bought it on Galiano Island from the lovely Fiona of @sweaterweatheryarns during our retreat. Its a warm, cozy gender neutral color and the Flax Light pattern is by @tincanknits - my fave for baby & gift knits 👌🏻😁.

☕️I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to get this coziness up for testing. For those of you patiently waiting for the call it should go out tomorrow 🤞🏻. Its been a crazy two months and I’m trying to find a bit more balance and time for self-care during the chaos of the holiday season....so bear with me 💗. 😁 In the meantime - what are you all knitting this week? What do you do during Dec to take care of you?
.
🧶I’ve been working on this cardi between deadlines for a year and I’ve worn my initial sample so much I even sleep in it 🙊. It truly is a “wear with all the things” kinda cardi. The kind I live to knit and wear while I knit. 🙌🏻 Does that make sense🤔...lol😋? It’s Friday friends...lol ☕️🤣.
.
The lovely @betsyfarmerdesigns is shown here wearing one of the samples. I don’t think this cardi would be here without her support so thx m’dear 😘 I 💗 ya. Plus she takes purdy pics and makes awesome jewelry 👌🏻.
