Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering Gods grace in its various forms.

Yarn Along

Joining up with Ginny at small things for her weekly yarn along :)

It's a ta-dah! moment over in my humble abode - the Bernat baby hoodie is done!  Well, except for the buttons anyway.  Instead of covering them over with knitted swatches, I'm getting something cute and baby-boyish.  This pattern was super easy to knit up and very difficult for me to seam.  I'm really all fingers and thumbs when it comes to sewing - I have no knowledge of how to piece things together - so I did the best I could using internet video tutorials and I think it came out pretty ok.  The side seaming and sleeves came out very nice.  The rest?  Well, hopefully no one looks too closely!

I'm finishing up the Fannie Flagg book, I Still Dream About You, and it's really good.  Started off slowly, in fact, I considered not finishing it at all it was dragging so much, but I stuck with it and I'm glad I did.  About 2/3rds of the way through the story starts moving along and you get more background to the characters.  I can't wait to see how she ends it!

I've got lots more to post about but little time to do it in...I still need to get lunch for my wonderful hubby and pick up the wild man from preschool.  So I'll close out for now and catch up with you soon!

Have a lovely week!

    That is so so so cute! You should be so proud if it. Do you have any particular buttons in mind or are you just going simple?

    Love your blog, by the way...

    What a sweet sweater you made!!
    I'm glad your book turned interesting - I hate starting a book only to abandon it.
