I’ve been so busy knitting that I haven’t had time for blogging. I’ve also had a hard time actually taking pictures of my knitting so that I could have something to show you.This is the Mommy Snug sweater from last summer’s IK. I made the smallest size and knit one set of short [...]
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 [...]

E is for evergreens and emerging life.
One of the great things about my job is that there is a trail through the woods on the property. I love the evergreens for their height and beauty and I get to look at them all day. When not looking high in the trees, though, the trail hasn’t [...]
Well, for a little while at least. My mom’s socks were finished, mailed and received so that was a success.
They turned out really well and they are SO soft! I used Knitpicks sock garden and I recommend it. After finding a pattern that didn’t result in horrible color pooling, I really enjoyed knitting it [...]

I hope you all had a lovely holiday season! Everyone loved their knitted gifts. My mom wore her cabled top to Christmas dinner at my aunt’s house and Mike wore his flame sweater. It was beautiful. I love seeing people wearing things I made. The compliments are nice too, of [...]
Ta da! Here is my very first pair of knitted socks! I was happy to have finished the 1st one but a complete pair is much more exciting. I wore them for a few minutes last night but then put them away because they’re a Christmas present. I will miss them but (hopefully) they will [...]
Socktoberfest is officially over and I have 1 sock to show for it! Being my very first sock ever (a knitting milestone!) I am pretty happy. I actually didn’t finish sewing the toe until today but that’s close enough for me. Here is sock #1. It’s a little loose around my [...]

I added something new! Check out my links on the right to free patterns I’ve used. There are so many free patterns on the web that I could spend all my time looking at them. If only I had time to knit them all! As I use free patterns I will add them to my [...]
