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 [...]

I’ve finally written up a pattern for my eyelet skirty (or is it skirtie?) that I’ve been showing you lately. It’s more of a guide than a pattern but it’s free and I don’t think any of you will have any trouble with it. Happy knitting! The pattern is below but I’ve also made …

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 …

Well, I’ve been knitting things for sesame but she won’t hold still long enough for me to take good pictures. She’s a baby on the move! This is the best picture I have of her wearing her star pants that I finished last week. They’re the Perfection Pants from Wooly Wonder and I …

The flowers were sent to me by my lovely mother yesterday to congratulate me on my new job! I’m working at Tryon Creek State Park part time and so far so good! But that’s not what I want to talk about today. There’s a winner to announce! The winner is Carol, aka …

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 …

. . . I was about six months pregnant and knitting and working and waiting for baby. A lot has changed since then! I got busy and then I got tired and then I got hugely pregnant and cranky. I was focused on getting everything ready for the little girl and though …
