Wonderwool Sweater

I’ve been knitting, a lot, of late. It’s become my evening ritual after the kids are in bed. A way to spend a hour or two winding down at the end of the day while I listen to an audio book or catch up on my Hulu stream. I’ve been knitting for many a sweet babe as I have a number of friends expecting littles in the coming months, but last week I switched it up and made something for myself. A ridiculously oversized, cozy, plush sweater using Wool and The Gang’s latest pattern, The Wonderwool. I knit two chunky sweaters from their collection years ago – The Cross Country Coat and The Little Giants T-Shirt. Their patterns are always quick and easy (thanks to enormous needles and wool), and the styles quite, well, stylish. In the heart of winter, this bad boy will keep me insanely cozy. Those extra large sleeves are everything.

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2015.”

Sunny: That smile was cajoled out of her after a morning of attitude and sass. She’s becoming more and more independent and strong-willed, which of course is what I wish for my adult female children – but it makes parenting them now more of a challenge. She’s definitely coming into her own and questioning everything/everyone that gets in her way. A sign of confidence (but also frustration (in the moment) for her mom and dad!).
Kaki: Daddy’s girl. Sleepy after a long day of play and apple consumption.
