How can you not love this face?
This is Fern — who is now known to the world as Samantha Joy — wearing her purple sweater with white bunny buttons.
I’m just so completely in love with this little girl! The only thing better than close friends is the child of those friends. :-)
Clapotis progress
Loving the Lion and Lamb yarn, but I’m still allergic to wool. It’s incredibly soft, so there’s no itch factor, but my eyes and nose itch and I’m congested. Whatever. I will suffer through, persevere, and wear my Clapotis with panache, I’m sure.
It’s just that the colors are so pretty …
I only had straight needles with me when I started. This morning, back in Houston, where half of my knitting supplies are now located, I transferred it to circs and I feel SO much better. Straight needles annoy me now because of the neighbor-poking, awkwardness, and hand strain factors. They also look less threatening to airport personnel. (Yay.) (Also: not a guarantee of your travel experience. Mileage may vary.)
