What kid doesn’t love a pocket-sized friend? I made these tiny bunnies for the girls on Easter. (from a free pattern! Details on my ravelry project page) I tried to keep them a secret as I knitted tiny bodies and skinny little arms and legs. I bravely knit in front of the girls, knowing they [...]

It seems I can’t avoid setting deadlines for myself. I woke up on February 1st and asked Mike “Do you think it’s doable for me to knit Carys a sweater and Sairshe some socks by Valentine’s Day?” I didn’t add that I also wanted to squeeze in the fingerless gloves for him that had been [...]

January is so nice. It may be my favorite month. Christmas with all it’s holiday craft-show and present-making frenzy is over, the kids have lots of beautiful new things to entertain them, my birthday (and that of my lovely mother) are this month, my job is pretty mellow and there’s lots of time for knitting [...]

Last month I had an all-day workshop to sit through and late the night before I decided that I should bring something with me to knit since I get antsy just sitting for long blocks of time. I picked some wool yarn ( a discontinued Anny Blatt yarn) I had in the closet and quickly [...]

We had a great time at The Pumpkin Patch last weekend and partied with some parent friends. Square dancing, all-you-can-eat barbecued corn and toddlers in face paint. It was a really good time and after much deliberation, we even came home with some pumpkins. Back at home, the evidence that seseme is now a toddler [...]

It has been so hot lately! It’s been in the 90s and for a while there I thought I was going to melt. It’s only May and it’s been gray and rainy for so long that I am really not adjusted to the sunshine! My knitting has taken a bit of a back seat …

I hope your Easter was filled with joy! The bunny ears are cute but the headwear I’m most fond of is this cute little bonnet I knitted for sesame. She even seemed to like wearing it! The pattern is from Dale of Norway’s pattern book #142. It’s the bonnet from pattern 14201, the eyelet lace [...]

It’s 9pm and my baby is still awake. This is not good, people. Not good at all. Do you know what is good? Baby socks. They’re little and cute, super fast to knit and they use up those little balls of leftover sock yarn that never seem to go away. I …

As I take sesame on walks in the neighborhood I notice all the pretty things blooming in people’s yards. The tiny crocuses and cheerful daffodils make me happy. I am ready for Spring! In my yard, however, this is what I have. Stupid, icky dandelions. Oh I know, it looks like a …
