Look, I really do knit! Bonus moving photos
The little mauve raglan is nearly done, just a few buttons to sew. The yarn is Elann Devon 787 Dusty Plum, US 2 needles. Basic raglan with picot sleeve hems. I worked to the bottom of the sleeve so the picot was last and kitchener stitched down. What a pain. I decided the collar and bottom hem would not have the same lovely treatment.
Top photo: view from the old place, our ground floor, tucked in the back with a cushy green fence snug apartment. Middle photo: view from the new place, top floor, vaulted ceiling, slightly rolling hills near the Blue Ridge outlook. Bottom photo: all that white and a peek at the extra vertical space. The psychological contrast between snug Hobbit hole den living to birds eye view and vertical space will be great. Some boxes of books have been moved over and we've been busy running for things like pantry shelving and child-proof cupboard latches. The furniture will be moved next weekend and I'll finish packing the kitchen, my son's room, and the miscellaneous odds and ends this week. The fun part is unpacking and making the new place home, I will be glad for that as I've been so overwhelmed with everything lately. Too much to do, too little time.

Literally moving up in the world. Having a great view is worth it! That's why we went with the 50 year old house over the popular new builds in the area.
So no picot edging for the bottom? What are your plans?
