Pumpkin Sunrise

I started another top down raglan cardigan for me over the weekend.  I thought long and hard about what pattern to use with fingering weight wool and decided to knit a cardigan that fits beautifully and I've knit twice.  I'm in my happy knitting place!

With February, comes thoughts of vacations and possibilities of where to go and what to do.  My husband and I haven't really agreed on anything, but it sure is fun discussing the possibilities.  For now, I'm content to stay home a little longer and enjoy the ordinary days. I continue to waffle on reading the news feeds and not reading the news feeds (and still wanting to read them).  What a pickle!  I find that when I am sitting and knitting, I get into my Zen state of mind.  So there is the answer to my happiness and possibly yours.  Sit and knit.  Sit and knit.
