weekend projects

We left Chicago Saturday morning at 2am-I know we are crazy people! But it actually made the drive go by quickly and the sunrise in Indian was so very pretty. All that to say my weekend project have all been done in a moving vehicle, but if I had had the time I would have started on a few summer sewing projects. I have been itching to pull out my sewing machine and make a dress and I think I’ve found the perfect pattern!

There are lots of things I love about knitting. I love how different fibers and gauges and stitches interact. And you proabbly don’t want to get me started on merino wool, cashmere, or alpacca yarns. I would probably bore you to death for hours! But my hands down favorite thing about knitting (this weekend anyway) is how

portable it is! I don’t like being idle so most of my weekend projects have been knitting related. I finished up one these hats for a friend, but in the softest gray…

…and I made about a zillion more cozies. I have a bunch of new colors coming to the shop soon!

I’ve also taken lots of photos with my Fuji Instax so once we get home and unpacked I’ll have those little guys to scan.

I hope you’re having a beautiful weekend!

    Oohh that dress is fantastic! Isn’t it amazing to be able to sew and knit? It’s like, making anything is totally possible with both of these skills. Can’t wait to see your finished dress!
