Summer is Here!

Hi My Beautiful Friends!

The Summer sun is finally upon us! I feel like I was just at Rhinebeck, blinked, and now long warm days at the pool and evenings of firefly catching are here! It is always said that when you have kids the days are long and the years are short, which is so very true.

Lately, I’ve been doing my best to be present for all of my sons’ end-of-the-school year activities. There are so very many! Ben is almost 11, taller than me and growing up too fast! Teddy is 6, that delicious age where he is so sweet, funny, and still actually wants me around to hug and cuddle. I’m really trying to savor every moment with them. On the design front, I have been working on a bunch of new things, including the Honeycomb Dreams Sweater, Chelsea Yarns Advent Design, and other secret projects. Sourcing yarn for new creations, working with fabulous indie dyers, and dreaming up new ideas is always so exciting to me! I’m really enjoying my Making My Own Dream Come True ERA.

It's the VanRey (Kn)IT LIST!!
