Baby Shower
My cousin Debbie is expecting her first child next month, so we went to her baby shower today. I’m so excited for her!
She decided not to find out whether the baby is a boy or a girl, so I knit her a cute little green, blue and white hoodie that will work for either. Anna [...]

Fiber Loot
The fiber arts festival this year was great! I bought some lovely goodies. Top row: a small quilted tote for a small project, a car magnet and a sheep earflap hat kit from Bitsy Knits in purple, green and white. Middle row: sock yarn that I couldn’t resist (also from Bitsy Knits), 4 oz. of [...]

Baby Bunny Dress
I know my blog has drifted (far, far) away from any sort of creative content it might have ever had, and firmly planted itself in the realm of “mommy blog”. But every now and then I make something that I have to share. Like this:
This is a shop sample, and I only knit the very [...]

The Yarn, oh, the Yarn…
We’re getting our windows cleaned next Monday. The kind of cleaning where they have to come in the house. Not just that, but they need to be able to actually access all the windows. I didn’t take a before picture, but short of tip-toeing through the pile of crap crafts all over the floor, there [...]

Carolyn’s Classy Cardigan
I just finished a zippered cardigan for Carrie a few days ago, so we went out and took a few pictures of her wearing it…and blowing bubbles.
Knitting details are on my project page on Ravelry.

Old School Valentines
This morning I sent Carrie off to school with her hand-made Valentines:
These can be summed up in one word: MESSY. Good gracious, I think I’m going to be finding glitter from these for the next several months! And I think I’d get card stock for next time. We used construction paper, pre-cut [...]

Rhinebeck, 2008
We took a whirlwind trip to Rhinebeck over the weekend (we left Saturday afternoon and came back late last night…or early this morning, depending on your point of view!) I was determined not to buy anything to spin, as I haven’t spun anything I got at Hemlock yet, and I have to confess that [...]

First Fiber Festival
Anna went to her first fiber festival today. I don’t think she was too impressed with the fibery beasts (she slept right through seeing any of them) but she loved all the colors we saw. Some of those colors came home with us:
Clockwise from 12:00 - Black Cherry Panda Bamboo yarn from Spininng [...]

Simone’s Apron
I found a great little pattern for a quick child’s apron, and thought it would make a good gift for Simone for her birthday. And I even finished it early! Carrie not-so-helpfully modeled it for me. (She couldn’t quite get why I didn’t want her to stand behind things. Sigh.) [...]

Rethinking Mystic Meadows
The first clue for Mystic Meadows came out today…and I’m mostly convinced that the lace pattern is going to be much too busy for the variegated yarn I’ve selected. And I’m *way* more than OK with that, because ever since I got the yarn in the mail it’s been whispering “soft little baby sweater…hat…baby [...]
