Today I am 29. I may not be going to Rhinebeck this weekend, but I’m having my own little fiber fest right here in south east Michigan. I’m visiting the fam this week, we came up on Saturday for the Steelers/Lions game. Part of the parental birthday package, you know. This also involves some very amazing cake, and mint chocolate chip ice cream. And maybe some new boots……
So far, this is a good start to my new year, and historically, my odd number age years have been the very good ones. That makes this year exciting.

A few days after my last post, I finished spinning the yarn for the body, and cast on. I started it on a friday afternoon, and finished it Saturday evening. Making this the fastest freaking baby sweater knit ever. I think it has something to do with my being used to knitting with string on toothpicks (I like fine gauges, you know), and this being knit on US7′s.

Spinners, this is also a great, great, knit for using up those lone 4oz skeins of precious handspun in the stash.

Ravel the details here!
