My Dad’s birthday was last weekend so I was able to give the first knitted gift of the season. He lives in southern California so he doesn’t need super warm gear but he also lives right by the beach and he’s often outside in the evenings. I whipped up these fingerless gloves for him in [...]

pants for the baby seamstress
Posted in baby knits, sesame on Nov 16th, 2007
Silly baby loves chewing on the tape measure. She tries to eat my patterns too. Yum, paper. These are the Perfection Pants from Wooly Wonder. We use cloth diapers so these wool pants (longies in cloth diaper speak) are the waterproof outer layer and they’re warm and snuggly soft. I [...]
Take Two

Or: Why it just might be in my best interest to spend all waking hours surfing Ravelry.
It’s getting cold here and I decided to knit a headband since it’s hard to wear hats with all of my hair. I picked Calorimetry because it looked easy and cute. It was easy. I knit [...]

I hope you’re all having a great Halloween! We grew pumpkins this year and were very excited about it but we didn’t get a chance to carve any of them! Between having the baby to deal with, I mean take care of, and being out of town last weekend, there just wasn’t any time. [...]

Sesame is . . .
Posted in baby knits, sesame on Jan 17th, 2007
A girl!! I was actually really anxious about finding out baby sesame’s gender. It’s not that I was hoping for one or the other, but I found that I kind of liked not knowing. Then I realized that when I found out, I could start knitting cute baby boy or baby girl [...]
I can’t believe it’s been a month since I’ve posted! This is what I’ve been doing.
Vacationing! We spent Christmas at the beach in L.A. this year. My dad lives 2 blocks from the beach and the weather was a nice change from the freezing Portland temperatures! This photo was taken [...]
