It's so lovely to hear someone else voice this same opinion! My friends think I'm crazy for changing things up so often. I think they're missing out on the fun :o)

Lovely! I've foregone our usual once-weekly laundry day for the joy of hanging laundry every day. Enjoy that baby! Our fifth was a particular joy to me, but I think mostly because I knew she'd be my last. Oh, and she was by far the easiest, may the Universe be so kind to you :o)

Oh, that stripey shrug is lovely. I think I'd like one for me! I'm test-knitting a little cardi pattern that will be my oldest daughter's First Communion sweater! I'm using the sport weight organic cotton from Knit Picks and it is so lovely. Way better then washcloth cotton. I'm so glad you're enjoying knitting, it is certainly a wonderful way to keep our hands busy!
