Below is a picture taken last wednesday by one of my sons, this is taken 200 metres from our home, we have the river (on left) and ocean (on right) out the front way (we can't see it from inside the house, but can from the front yard) and the mountains is our back view from anywhere in the house at the back. The photo is taken at very low tide. In summer we swim across the river and walk down the beach to the end and back, it is so lovely.
The Baby Aran Jumper is coming along nicely now, I have gotten my head around the pattern and am enjoying it now, although I do wish it was finished, I want to get to my own knitting for a bit. I did put the pockets in (see stitch holders), even though I don't know what a baby is going to do with pockets, but the mother wanted the pockets, so I did them. I just have the front to finish, edge and sew in the pockets, put it altogether and then do the neck.
I have cast on for the Sunrise Circle Jacket in Jo Sharp wool, and even though I have only done a few rows it is lovely and soft to knit. I don't have a timetable as to when I will complete it, but I hope to be able to work on it over the next few weeks and get a lot done, hopefully to get some wear before winter is over (plenty of time then). I am probably the last person to cast this on in the KAL for this jacket, but I will try not to be long in finishing it.
I still haven't received my books from Amazon, it is over a week late now, I just wish they were here already.

I always remember Independence Day because it is a friend's birthday and also MY Independence day too!! The baby aran looks wonderful and how lovely is that green Jo Sharp??? VERY!!!!!
Ahh, there's nothing like a river to make me happy - oh mountains!! I can see both from my house too. Good for the soul!!!
Looking good nice to see the sunrise begin.
I really like using Jo Sharp as well. It knits up really nice! I love the view from your front yard. Absolutely beautiful. I'm not sure I'd leave the house if I had a view like that. :)
I'm waiting for Happy Hooker and One Skein, which I need as I am a part of the One Skein Knitalong and would like to knit my pal something from the book. I will email Amazon today and see if they know anything.
