• Things have been sort of slow with my knitting. I finished up Cropped Cardigans for my mom and sister and have been knitting a KPS tunic for Eden. But I ran out of yarn so I’m stuck on that one until more comes in.
We got the new Son of a Stitch n Bitch book in at the store and it’s really good. I think I’d like to start the double knit argyle scarf. I’m also making a double sided scarf out of all of my alpaca scraps, because alpaca is just too good to waste!

• Winter break is almost over and Eden will go back to school on Tuesday. It will be nice to be back to some sort of schedule as it was crazy around here with my nephews visiting for 10 days plus we were missing the structure that school provides.

• I’m increasingly thankful for our friends who are always there for us, especially when our family is not. A friend let us borrow her brand new car so Jim could take the nephews back over the mountains to their dad.

• Years ago when we were in Germany, we had our first taste of Ikea. We loaded up on stuff there including 2 twin size down comforters. They keep the kids very warm, but they’re a boring white. So I took two twin action hero sheets and sewed Honor a duvet cover. Eden’s is next in 100% pink hello kitty.
