Wrenna






Wrenna, Wrenna, how do I love thee?
Enough to post a gazillion pictures, apparently.
I really am in love with this fo. Misti Alpaca is soft as soft can be. And would you believe it, it took less than 250 yards to knit this sweater! That's the magic of chunky yarn and size 17 needles. If I wasn't the working mom of a 2 year old, this would have been an easy weekend project. But even with my hustle and bustle life, it still only took a week. That's as close to instant gratification in the knitting realm as I get these days. I'll take it! I'm making a hat with the remaining alpaca yarn, as I barely broke into the third skein for Wrenna. Then, it's on to 2 socks on 2 circs for dh. That'll be quite a switch after working in such a large gauge!

Here's one of my Mother's day shots with Silas, and another bonus Wrenna picture ends the post...

I have those boots-- and that knitting book. :D I even have some chunky yarn in the stash that would work for this! Your photos are beautiful. Nicely done! Isn't it great that spring seems to have finally arrived this year? What a long winter it was!!!
