So I started the Fern and Feather sweater by @knit.love.wool weeks (and weeks) ago and then lost my knitting mojo. I’m sure none of you can relate...ha! But then the rain arrived and it sprinkled me with motivation! Last night I got all my short rows done and separated the body and sleeves and got back on track. Fingers crossed I can keep this train rolling! Happy Sunday friends! #knittersnestyarns #joyfulknitter #knitlovewool #fernandfeathersweater #knittersofinstagram #knit #knittingmakesmehappy #knitspiration #localyarnshop #townsitemarket
