I'm Pregnant!

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. I shared a post last week after a long break of being away. The reason why I wasn't posting for so long was because...I am pregnant! I was feeling awful my first few months of pregnancy. I had nausea and vomiting and lack of energy. I am feeling much better now at 17 weeks and wanted to share with you all that I am expecting now that I have told my family, friends, and work. Our due date is December 4th and we will find out the gender in a couple of weeks. It is an exciting time for my husband and I and our families as we prepare to welcome a little one into our lives. It still seems so surreal to me at times. I have heard the baby's heartbeat that was so exciting and seeing the baby moving on the ultrasounds was so amazing to see. I have wanted to try for a baby for a long time. We postponed our wedding multiple times due to Covid-19 from 2020 to September 2021. We were so happy to have a lovely wedding last fall and finally get married. We always planned to start trying after we got married. We started trying right at the start of the new year with a couple cycles and then on third cycle we saw the positive tests below and it was very exciting. 

I have been taking bump photos since about 14 weeks. There wasn't a lot of change at that point. This is me at 16 weeks I am now 17 weeks along and almost 18 weeks.  I am sure I will pop more around 20 weeks.

Millie and I, she is still not so sure about being a big sister :P 

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I am happy to share the news in this space. Hope that you have a great weekend!

Finished Rock Cap, Next Project, and Reading On

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. It has been a long time since I posted last! I missed this space. I am happy to be back to share that I have finished knitting the Rock Cap by Veronica Wilson on Ravelry. This was a fun knit. I liked knitting it while just relaxing watching a show or movie. It is too warm now to wear it now... lol in the Summer, but I look forward to wearing it in the Fall and Winter months. 

Pattern notes:

Pattern: Rock Cap by Veronica Wilson on Ravelry

Yarn: Lion Brand Wool-Ease solids in colorway Canyon Sunset

Needles: US 8, 5 mm circular needles

Notes: Please see my notes on Ravelry here

I will be knitting socks next! It has been a long time since I have knitted socks. They are always a fun knitting project for the Summer because they are so easy to bring around on vacation with you as they are a small project easy to transport. 

I will be starting to read Wow, No Thank you by Samantha Irby. I bought this one awhile ago, then didn't continue reading it. I look forward to reading this book and it will be something light and funny to read this Summer.

Progress on Knitting Rock Cap

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. I have been continuing to knit the Rock Cap by Veronica Wilson on Ravelry. I am almost done the moss stitch body of the hat then will proceed with crown shaping soon. I folded the rim of the hat in the photo below to show how the hat will look when it is done and how I will wear it.
