On My Needles Monday

This post looks eerily familiar. In fact, it is almost the exact same picture that I used a month ago to show where I was on the back of my sweater. Except now, it's the front. You following? Deep, I know.


It was another slow knitting week. Easter threw me off a bit this week and I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things soon, because it is my goal to wear this little number before the heat of the summer. And with the way the weather has been lately, it's buying me plenty of time. I don't remember what 60 degrees and sunny feels like.

Here's to a productive week -- look for some fun posts soon with other crafty projects I've had up my sleeve!

Happy, happy knitting to you!

It was a slow week in the knitting world. I didn't get nearly as much done as I thought I would. Don't you hate that? You have so much built up momentum and then it all comes to a screeching halt because of a little thing I like to call "life." *sigh*


The good news is, I finished the back of my sweater, and I've begun the front ribbing. Hopefully I'll make better progress this week because I'd really like to wear this one before this morning's snow turns into 95 degrees with extreme humidity.

Tell me what you were productive with this week. Pretty, pretty please :)

What I Wore Wednesday

I'm linking up with Lindsey at The Pleated Poppy!

Don't you hate that time of year when the calendar says it's April but the thermometer says it's February? Yeah, me too. I've been struggling with trying to look appropriate for the season, but warm enough to keep the chill away. My answer? Layers!

navy pants: banana | white tee: jcrew | vest: boden


black pants, striped tee: banana | cardi, necklace: anthro

pants, ruffle tee: anthro | cardi: jcrew | oxfords: nordstrom

pants, navy blazer, tee, necklace: banana

Have a fashionable week!

I've got to admit, having this little feature has held me accountable. Now, instead of just buying patterns and yarn, I actually have to knit too.* Go figure!


This week, I nearly finished the back of the Milkshake sweater. Just a few more rows and I'm done! And then it's on to the front of the sweater, because I think just donning the back of a sweater isn't considered socially acceptable.

*Who am I kidding. I bought plenty of patterns and yarn this week, too ;)

Happy knitting!

This past week I enjoyed the luxury of Spring Break - all while sick. However, this turned into the perfect opportunity to get some knitting done! I have reached the armholes for the back of the Milkshake sweater and if I keep things going at this rate, I may actually get to wear this before it gets too warm out! Pigs are flying!



So what are you working on?
Happy knitting!
