my name is jessica. i live in a very cool stone house in a teeny tiny town in vermont with my husband pete, our little kiddo miss a and our middle-aged laborador retreiver cabot.
i'm an attorney, but, i freely admit that i spend far too much time fantasizing about either: (a) being a farmer; (b) designing and making wooly things; or (c) both.
i've been knitting for a loooooong time. my mom, grandmother, and great grandmother taught me how to knit, and my great grandmother gave me her collection of knitting needles when i was in high school...a gift i've always treasured.
that's pretty much all you need to know about me at this juncture. now, on to business.
this time of year is always a blur of holiday knitting projects. i'm just about finished with my brother and sister's gifts, and i'm hoping to get some pictures of them sporting their handknits next weekend when they come up to these parts for a visit. and then there's the parade of babies that i need to knit for. in the meantime, when i'm not working on the holiday handknits, i am trying to find time to finish up a sweater for myself. (prime knitting time for me is during the morning commute to work.) i'm like 93% finished with it. perhaps my next post will have pictures of the final product...i can't wait to wear it. winter has really snuck up on me and my body isn't quite prepared for the cold and the snow. and since i clearly do not need to amass more body fat...i'd better pile on the woolies.
