Autumn is coming!!

Here it's the day before September -- how did that happen?!  Seriously, getting old makes time fly even faster.  Anyway, I wanted to check in quickly with a progress picture of my current project, the Yell Cardigan by Marie Wallin.

One sleeve is finished to the ribbing, and the other is almost to the same point.  Being short and short armed, I had to shorten the sleeves.  I'm waiting to do the ribbing till I cut open the front steek and am able to try the cardigan on.  Fingers crossed, the sleeves will be a good length and my calculations were on target!  The picture shows the back of the cardigan.

I'm currently enjoying the US Open (tennis!) and also enjoying the overall cooler weather.  Hoping that Hurricane Dorian blows out to sea!

Happy birthday!

I'm getting worse at wishing my sweet baby happy birthday on this blog.  But I will try.  Have you seen how she still has the same sparkle in her eye that she did as a toddler?

(Thank you, A, for the picture!)

My sweet girl has always had amazing poise and charisma from the time she was born.  And yes, she is smart, talented, thoughtful, courageous,  -- and yes, a wonderful daughter.  We are so proud of her.

Happy birthday to our sweet girl.  I hope your day is extra special!  Love you.  <3 p="">
