Well, it definitely was too ambitious to think I could knit this little cardigan before Easter and also with only one skein of yarn. Â It has been really enjoyable to knit, and I’m waiting for another skein to arrive in the mail so i can finish it. Â Sweet Wren wore her camilla babe sweater for Easter instead, which was really beautiful on her. Â I can’t express how much fun it is and how satisfying to be able to make clothes for my children. Â I am really wanting to learn how to sew, so I can sew them some dresses, too.
I picked up book two in the Canada West series by Janette Oke, When Comes the Spring (affiliate link). Â It seems appropriate for this time of year, hey? Â I remember my older sister reading the series when we were growing up but I don’t think I ever read it. Â I read the first book sometime last year and have been watching the latest episodes of “When Calls the Heart,” which really seems to be nothing like the books. Â Both are enjoyable, but I’m hoping the books are better, seeing how the characters and plot is really entirely different thus far from the tv show. Â I’m finding little time to read, but am squeezing in a few pages when I nurse in the evenings. Â It’s good to have a happy simple novel to read.
