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 [...]

I've been knitting!
Posted in FOs 2006, baby knits, knitting on Nov 8th, 2006
Remember me? Not only do I still know how to knit but I’ve been knitting again!
I picked up my frost flowers and leaves shawl/blanket and have started working on it again. I was surprised at how easily the pattern came back to me. Even though I hadn’t worked on it in weeks, [...]
Flock and Fiber and Finished Things
Posted in FOs 2006, knitting, scarves, sweaters on Sep 29th, 2006
I finished the trellis scarf! This is the first lace item I’ve knit that looked all bunchy until I blocked it. It came out so pretty that I’m rethinking my plan to give it away. I don’t really need it, though. I want to put some beads on the ends of [...]
Family + Knitting = A Happy Weekend
Posted in FOs 2006, Portland, knitting, sweaters on Sep 18th, 2006
I brother came to visit for 5 days and we had a really good time. This was his 1st time visiting Mike and I in the 5 years we’ve been married so it was nice to have him at our place for once! We did the grand tour of Portland and the gorge, ate a [...]
Everything is ready to be taken to the fair tomorrow! I’m so excited. I hope I win a ribbon! The only thing missing from my pile of entries is the ogee tunic because all I have finished are the sleeves and this: It’s coming out really well and I changed it [...]
This!!I finally finished sewing the pillow I made for Cindy and Camilo. I made the knitted part a slipcover so it can be taken off and washed as needed. It’s not a “standard” size so I couldn’t use a pillow form. I had to sew a pillow and then stuff it so [...]
Finally a finished picture! (and the letter M)

It’s done and it fits!! I love my corset pullover. If you like it too, the pattern is free! That makes it even better in my mind.
Yarn: Knitpicks shine sport in hydrangea. The pattern called for a worsted weight yarn so this involved a LOT of math to adjust the pattern. [...]
Last month, I didn’t do any Project Spectrum-themed knitting. This month, by accident I already have!
When I realized last weekend that Mother’s Day is coming up soon, I decided to knit something for my mom and my mom-in-law. I needed something quick, since I have to send it early enough for it [...]
The Bins + Silly Knitting
Posted in FOs 2006, crafting, gardening, knitting on Apr 29th, 2006
For my birthday Abby gave me this funny book and have been wanting to make something from it since.It has patterns for silly things like a knitted hand grenade, a glass of beer, picture frames, ear muffs shaped like fried eggs and lots of knitted cakes and sandwiches. Abby and another friend who is [...]
Finishing is fun
Posted in FOs 2006, gardening, knitting, sweaters on Mar 29th, 2006
I have finished another project that was cast aside last summer! My satisfaction with Soleil led to my finishing of this: It started out as Tempting from Knitty but quickly morphed into something different. I hate knitting ribbing so I chose a cabled rib pattern to jazz it up. I don’t know if it was [...]
