I’ve been slowly knitting Nathan a blanket. I have about sixty rows left. I haven’t been getting much else done. Knitting is slow going. Lately I haven’t found it as calming and relaxing. I don’t know why. I dread saying it, as if giving voice to it will make it stick, but knitting has been feeling like a chore. Maybe it’s just that I’ve been stuck on Nathan’s blanket for months.

So, I decided to take a break and work on something quick and fast.

A little amigurumi heart. I found the pattern here. Isabelle loved it. She wore it as a necklace.

I’ve just had hearts on my brain.

Maybe that’s why my new banner is so sickly sweet hearty. I don’t love it but I do love the dottiness inspired by Bethany.
