Thank you! I'm hoping it stays cool a bit longer. I still need a coat if I go out in the early morning, so I'm hopeful!

Thank you! Yellow is my favorite. This is our Sweater Club sweater and when everyone else had picked their yarns, this is what was left for me. It was perfect!

Oh gosh, don't be afraid of sweaters! The first sweater I did, I did not swatch. However, that sweater was done on a needle and yarn I was used to using, so I knew my gauge already. I don't swatch on the small things, hats, gloves, baby knits, because I know that *usually* my gauge is just fine. If you're going to spend all the time and money that goes into an entire sweater, a 4x4 square isn't so bad. Sweaters are so much fun though!

I can't either! Haha!

Thank you! I almost didn't even do the swatch to get my stitch gauge, but everyone in my knitting group was doing it, so I figured I would. I pretty much always knit to gauge, so I wasn't worried. Now I know that I need to fully gauge when knitting sweaters!

I love these! I'd love a locket with the faith stone, plus the birthstones of my boys and husband. Such a charming way to display things you love.

I really, really love your Fast. Pray. Give. posts. I'm going to go through and copy them all into a document and continue them after Lent. They really make me stop, think and reevaluate. Beautiful.

As silly as it sounds, I hadn't paid much attention to my blog design since I made the blog. When I made it initially, I had the basic package and only had a couple options. The best out of the few I could choose from was that terrible brown rock... Continue reading
