I Got Distracted

I started out working on my oldest’s sweater. A variation of the one I recently finished for myself. I’ve made some really good progress, but then I had an idea.

Washcloth sets to sell at work. Now that I’ve got the four patterns established, it should be pretty quick to make a bunch. Then I had another idea.

I want to give my kids’ teachers something nice as a thank you. It’s been a tough several years. My kids have had a really rough time and they were very nervous to start at a new school. All three are thriving better than ever, and it wouldn’t have been possible without their teachers supporting them. So washcloths with a giant apple and another with the letters of their school (I haven’t gotten to making that one yet, but the pattern rough draft is ready).

Then, my youngest started wearing this toddler cowl around her waist as an accent to her dress. I stretched it a bit and she thought it would be cool to knit a skirt. Now I’m adding stitches until it’s wide enough for some flare and will hand it over to her to knit. She’s pretty good with needles.
