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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Oliver is so cute!! He’s my new bunny. His color is called chocolate but he’s really a light orange. I don’t know who comes up with the names. Here he’s eating weeds like a good little bunny.
Since Kathy asked, here is some info about angoras. (If you’re not interested, skip this [...]
I have had some really crappy stuff happen in the last few weeks but still . . . I didn’t realize how long it had been since I’ve posted. I apologize and if I haven’t commented on your blogs lately, I will be back soon. I’m doing better now.
So, the fair!! [...]
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 [...]

Thanks for the nice comments about Phoebe. I realize I didn’t actually put in the link to the picture of her fur that I spun. If you still want to see my sorry attempt at spinning angora, it’s here.
My good friend is getting married this month. I’ve been planning on knitting her [...]
The state fair is coming and I am so excited. I was practically raised at fairs. My mom is, and my grandma was, a fair judge. They judge baked goods, jams, jellies, sewing, crafts, you name it, they can stick a ribbon (or not) on it. Some of my earliest memories [...]

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. [...]
