it took less than one week

June 28, 2009

for katie (my mother-in-law) to arrive in pittsburgh, go to a thrift store with us, find a sweaterskirt at said thrift store (which hides its sweaters in the back during the summer), rip said sweaterskirt apart and knit her dad a pair of fingerless mitts.

silk, angora, nylon and lambswool

go katie go!

p.s. thanks for all the baby belle love :)

I think I will have to get back on to it!
