I actually finished a knitting project!

I had started making a baby sweater a week or so before Lucas was born. I had planned to make it a larger size (6-12 months), so that he could wear it next winter. It seemed huge on him when I got the base of it done a few weeks ago. Apparently some time in the last month he became huge. It fits him perfectly now. I had to rush to finish it before he outgrew it. 

The buttons I found in a cute little button shop in Paris. I wanted a simple pattern so they would stand out and be cute.

The pattern is Flax from Tin Can Knits. The pattern as written is a pullover sweater. I tried to find a pattern for a plain worsted weight cardigan, but strangely I couldn't find one. It only took a little bit of math to make the Flax into a cardigan. 

Unfortunately the weather is not cooperating this week. Not overly useful to have a new sweater on a week that will be 90F! (I need to live somewhere cooler...)

Book Review: Road Food

Since I am planning two road trips this summer, and I'm anticipating many stops along the way, I thought this book would be great to plan a great food filled trip. I don't think this will end up working in that way.

This book has over 1000 restaurants, but it seems that most of them are not where I am planning on going. Which will be 5-6 different states, so it isn't like it's a small trip. With a name like Road Food, I would have expected that going on a typical road trip to be able to use this book to find great food. There is a lot more representation of the Midwest and East Coast. Also certain cities seem to have more options than others.

I live in a very food centered place, and there very few selections from where I live. None of which I have heard of. There is no shortage of destination worthy places near me.

I will probably throw this book in the car when we go just in case we happen to get hungry near a suggested place. But, sadly I won't have an exciting list of food places to visit.
