Making Up

I am almost caught up to where I was before I had to rip back on this sweater, and it feels good to be seeing it take shape. This week I've been dogsitting for my parents, so I've been knitting on this quite a bit instead of bringing a bunch of projects to their house, and the monogamous knitting time is paying off. 

It's been interesting, being back in my parents' house for an extended period again. I love my apartment, but it's been so great to go out back and see butterflies in their garden and hear the squirrels chattering in the walnut trees. It's a bit late in the season for this year, but next year I plan to get a planter to go by my back door and a bird feeder to go in front of the living room so I can see more wildlife around my apartment.
