I finally put buttons on a sweater I started knitting for myself in early fall and finished last week.
It is the
February Lady sweater and it really turned out nice. I bought the yarn a year ago at the
SAFF and wanted to have it done by last February, but this works too. Better late than never!!
It has a beautiful lace pattern that took me a little more time and concentration, which was easy to forget sometimes.
I also just finished a simple vest last week for Adeline.
I was amazed how quickly it knitted up and it looks adorable on her. Some of her favorite colors too in a lovely
Noro yarn.
She was really excited to put it on, and the yarn blend has a bit of silk in it so it is extra soft.
I am going to get started on a
winter sweater for Kelwyn and some fingerless gloves, I am embarrassed to say, I promised Slater last winter. I got halfway through the first glove and it was too big, so I put it down for a while. Thankfully it has not been too cold!
Adeline and I went to our first Mama and me ballet class today. She had a wonderful time with a few twirls and lots of running around the room in circles. She refused to wear her tutu, but did lots of singing and laughing instead. Afterwards it was such a beautiful day we went to the park for lunch before picking up Kelwyn from school. One of the first things she said at the park was "Mama it is such a beautiful day!!". 
The sun was shining brightly and warm on our backs as we walked through the blooming meadow. The first flowers of spring were coming up all over, a bit early it seems but I welcome them. We found lots of dandelions and bluets. 
Adeline picked the yellow and blue flowers and put them in her knit bonnet. It was quite sweet. 
She was saving them to bring home to our nature table. Lovely morning with my little girl.
