Kristie's Knitting Notes April 5, 2026

It’s Easter Sunday, so we’re getting ready to head to church and then have a special lunch. This week brought the Artemis launch and lots of knitting. I rounded up what lived on my needles and what I read in March.

We live on the Space Coast, so 2 out of 3 of my girls had the best view of the Artemis launch at their softball game.
