Its been snowing every day....a couple inches here...couple inches there...We have well over a foot of fresh snow on the ground right now...Hard to believe it is going to be Spring in just 26 days....not that I am counting or anything:) The poor little squirrels and birds have been crowding around our feeders non-stop! It must be so hard for them to find food so late in the winter...I finished my "Shalom" cardigan yesterday!!! I was knitting every spare minute to finish it!!! I am happy with how it turned out, except I wish it was larger through the bust to close more over my giant boobs!!! Lol!!! It is kind of snug through there...Otherwise, I am really happy with it:) I used a beautiful wooden button from Wooly Moss Roots to finish it off! I just love their work!!! Next, I am hoping to finish up my "scrappy trip along" quilt" if I dont get sidetracked!!! You know how that happens...one minute sewing a quilt, next minute the urge to embroider mice pops into my head....weird. For now, I am going to go and snuggle with my two favorite kiddos....We have been reading one hour a day, which is harder than it sounds! Once we are into it, the time passes quickly! Zach is in second place in the whole 4th grade for the number of books he has read this year..the kids all have to take a test on every book they read, so no cheating...then they earn a certain number of points, based on how long the book is, what reading level it is, and how they score on their test..I am so proud of him...He got a wonderful report card! Right now, he is reading "The Hobbit" and I am reading Moonshiner's Daughter..It is pretty sad, but there are moments in the book, where the simplest things bring the greatest joys to the characters! It is also a true story...which I prefer to fiction!! Stay warm...and keep thinking of Spring!!!!!

I love your squirrel photo. My birds and squirrels have been at our feeder non - stop too. They are going to be little 'butter-ball' come Spring. Your cardigan is beautiful. And I love Zack's 'in the same school' cards. Very cute!!

your remarks made me laugh . If yours are "giant" made me wonder what adjective I should use for my space occupying set:)
I wondered if you have blocked the vest yet. If you haven't , try stretching it out when wet in the yolk section. I think you should be able to get some extra cm there.
