Yarn Along

For my Yarn Along project this week, I'm working on Finn's Christmas sweater.  I decided to frog the other sweater I'd been working on because it wasn't turning out quite how I pictured it.  I went back to a basic top-down sweater pattern, in a henley style because it's easier to get over Finn's large noggin. It likely won't win any design awards, but it's easy, quick, and it will wear well.


For our reading this week, we are in full Christmas story reading mode.  The older kids favorite stories are from The Candle in the Forest, and Finn, well, all of them really, are enjoying Jan Brett's Christmas Treasury.  The favorite story from the Treasury right now is The Trouble with Trolls.


What are you working on right now?
