Aside from a jacket and a baptismal gown, I actually started, and am nearly finished with, a color work hood that is part of my Trade Winds collection. It is the second to last pattern in that collection, and it should be finished, edited, and ready to beta knit here in a couple weeks. It is fun and quick and I really like it. It turns out, I even have a shirt that matches the melon colored yarn almost exactly. I've also cast on a surprise project for a friend who is having a baby soon. I won't share pictures of that until the gift is given, but it is sweet and I am excited about it.

The kids and I have made progress in Further Chronicles of Avonlea, we're more than half way through it, and I have been more intentional about taking time to read from an actual book each day. So, I've been picking up The Diary of a Country Priest and working my way through the inspiring and delightful words a little at a time, and really enjoying it.
