a lofty goal well underway

i've been working, traveling, redfinning, raising a toddler, not finishing books for bookclub. and wanting to knit. really, really wanting to knit, but not knitting. or rather knitting a stitch here and there, but distractedly and ultimately to no avail.

but finally two months and four tries in i imperfectly finished david's extremely simple fall sweater.

and with the confidence that stems from task completion i decided to attempt to knit sweaters for all four cousins by the holidays.

i'm half way there.

this sweater for josey is one of my favorite finished products. to make a good thing better it was reported to me that josey asked, "how did auntie helen know i would love these buttons?"
