Yesterday I wasn't "allowed" to knit. Kitty stole it and didn't move for hours 😅
But today, I was smarter. I did not put the knitting down on the couch while refilling my coffee! Thus I was allowed my knitting in peace ☺️
It's a slow process to card, spin, ply, skein, wash, dry and then knit. But the it's so worth it. The softness yet sturdiness of handspun yarn is amazing. And the colors 🥰

I got a few rows of knitting done today too 🥰
I've been spending the majority of my day studying fermentation in multiple areas to help support gut-health and hopefully finding a few beverages that is better than soda for the weekends. Also been researching seitan and tofu recipies in the hopes of finding a protein source kiddo can eat since meat only works in jerky-form r.n. (kiddo's ARFID).
Bit at the end of the day, I got to sit down with a nice cup of coffee and an audiobook while knitting 🥰
I will very soon have to start spindling again. The brown åsenwool needs refilling. The white leicester will last the entire pattern thankfully 🥰

I baked bread and made a big batch of food so I don't have to worry bout lunch tomorrow. Then I wanted to knit but the cat had stolen my knitting 😅 I finally got it back when I fed the cats around 9pm. So I have managed a few rows today at least 🤣

After a day of cooking and cleaning and helping out a neighbor, I am finally sat on the couch knitting after a warm comfortable dinner.
Progress is rather slow for being me but I am actively taking my time. Slowing down the process to really enjoy the feel of my yarn becoming this sweater. 🥰

I can finally knit a sweater with my own yarn 🥰 Finished my scarf yesterday and after having cooked and dealing with laundry most of the day I finally sat down during the evening and started.

Pattern from DropsDesign 'Ashbury Park'
And the yarns are made from åsenwool (brown) and leicester (white)

Kiddos oversized croptop got done yesterday. Buuut she refused to let me borrow it for pictures so I had to wait for tonight after she went to bed 😅

Kiddo's sweater, a oversized croptop, is almost done. It's been finished knitwise, washed and is currently blocked. When it's dried I will fasten the last ends and make a final fit to see if kiddo likes it, wants it as is or if we make a small neckline.

The yarn to finish kiddos sweater came in the mail today! Finally I can finish the project.
But before I really lock in for the afternoon and evening. I'm gonna bake some cookies for Valentines.
We don't celebrate it like this big commercial thing. No, I usually make the entire family a nice meal, maybe some cookies or pastries and if possible we have a night with boardgames or movies.
