Though I have some finished baby items, I am waiting to share them until they have beein given to Alexander and Autumn. So, here is a kind of dark photo of Yathrib, just a little after I had divided the sleeves from the body. I was trying to take a picture that would show the e-book cover and the knitting, and it is just dark and kind of sad. So, I may not do that anymore. The yarn, though, is fantastic. I am usually not a fan of cotton, but this yarn is wonderful to work with, and doesn't seem to be pilling, even being yanked around. I haven't had to tink or frog back on this much, but what little I have done seems to hold up well.

The airshow really threw me for what day it was all week, so this is rather late. However other events of this week have left me rejoicing. As a celebration and thanksgiving for the coming of a day that I wasn't sure I would see in my lifetime, I am offering one of 13 baby patterns for free on PayHip and Ravelry with the coupon code Forerunner, through the end of the day June 25, 2022. Please enjoy a baby pattern of your choice with my best wishes and love.

While the kids have been working clean up at the airport and catching up with friends a bit, we didn't read much in Chronicles of Avonlea. I read a tiny bit in X Saves the World, but mostly have been enjoying Twain's Feast. I even had a dream in which we were sleeping in a school gym as they prepared a racoon supper.

Linking to Unraveled Wednesday.
