This sweater is made from an inexpensive cotton found at just about any department store or chain craft store. However, that does not make it useless yarn. Don't get me wrong, I can be a complete yarn snob when the project calls for it. But for a child who will likely be rather hard on a sweater and do things like get dirty and a mom who would prefer not to be spending time worrying about how to care for her kid's clothes you want something hard wearing and easy to clean. Cotton and acrylic fit this profile perfectly.
Pattern: Wonderful Wallaby by Carol A. Anderson
Yarn: Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Ombres & Prints in Patio Pinks

Pets
Since very sadly loosing Soccer earlier this week Ahab is now the only pet left. It's been pretty quiet around here. I'm not sure if he likes being an only dog or not so we're going on lots of walks (when the wind is not insane) and giving him lots of petting. I do intend to get another dog but Ahab does not like puppies so it may need to wait a while. For now, it's just us.
Current Weather
23C and sunny. Windy enough to blow you into Saskatchewan the past couple of days. It's been warm to hot but you'd never know due to the wind. Before that we got one lovely hot summer day; could be the only one we get so made sure to enjoy it.
