Winter Sweater

I'm on a mission to complete this sweater for John before this (non) winter ends.  I'm almost finished with the first sleeve and have had John try it on a few times.  (I think his arms are growing because I can't catch up!).  Here's a link to the sweater on Ravelry if you are interested in the pattern.

The wool is Kilcarra Donegal.  It's a little rough before it is washed but delightfully soft after its first bath.  I love the slubs added throughout.  Purples, light blues and tiny bits of red are thrown in.  Lovely.

Adult School of Montclair (NJ)

Living 12 miles west of NYC has its pluses and minuses (more traffic but easy access to NYC!)

One of the best things about this town is its education, and I'm not speaking only of its wonderful school system.  For over 76 years the Adult School of Montclair has offered cutting edge courses to its community.  Here is the latest catalog and if you live nearby, take a class!

New addition to the Toy Mouse Family!

I wanted to make up a mouse with the ice blue yarn and decorate her outfit with white.  Here she is!
