1×1 rib all the way up with just a hole for the thumbs…BORING! but i like the slouchy look of them. i also made them long over the fingers [...]

This was the view of the backyard (we have no access to) from our kitchen window several weeks ago. i love it when it snows! but then a few hours later, it’s mucky slush and ice. NOT fun. we’re going to have another deep freeze coming our way.

the sweater for sophia is all knit up and just needs the buttons sewn on:
