Like most of you, I’ll be busy this week prepping to host Thanksgiving at our home + birthday celebrations (on the same day) for Philippa. Last night I wove in the ends and sewed on the buttons for her birthday sweater. Brandon and I spent some time on Saturday shopping for her other gifts as well. I think we are mostly prepared! I am so happy with the way her sweater turned out. Of course, it’s a lovely and classic pattern but it was really special to have dyed the yarn myself and see the sweater come together from start to finish. I have a couple skeins of avocado dyed yarn that I didn’t need and I plan to include them in my first small etsy shop update. I don’t know when I will actually get that little shop open but I do think I’ll be ready soon. I hope that some of you find that exciting because I’m doing this not only to help provide for my family, but also to share some knitted goodness with those of you who have shown interest, as well as some other hand made things from our home. Anyway, more about that soon, hopefully in the next couple of weeks.
I never thought I’d be into dyeing yarn and I was so surprised with how much I enjoyed the whole process, particularly using things from our home like leftover avocado pits + skins, and marigolds from our garden. I hope to get to do it again someday!
In other news, Wren has taken to crawling and is so very proud of herself. Last week she realized she could get around from room to room, and the exploring and getting into everything has commenced.
