i’ve got a mother’s helper coming tomorrow afternoon (thank you, february vacation) and our usual sweet helper friday afternoon. i also have the weekend off from work! my plans? if all goes well, i’ll be working on eliminating things from my crafty checklist. the great thing about a crafty checklist  – as opposed to a cleaning or work related one – is that its just as much fun to make the list itself as it is to actually finish something on it. here’s what i’d like to work on:

i found this pattern from five green acres. i’ll use her measurements for my mittens with the wool wonderfuls below:

wyatt’s cobblestone with one sleeve to finish before i join for the yoke. i can’t wait (and neither can he)!

and when the cobblestone is done…isabelle’s sweater! i’ll make a garter-yoke cardigan with the noro for the garter and the bartlett for the body/sleeves. i can’t wait!
