I love this little dress! Like everything I’ve knit recently, it’s making wasn’t without a near-disaster. It was almost ruined when I put it on the little ungrateful toddler and she had a screaming fit and yanked at it so hard that she totally stretched out the buttonholes and I was afraid for the hand-stitching.

I had a birthday and Washington threw a big party! It was for Obama, I know but it was fun to celebrate with the rest of the country. Whether you voted for him or not, weren’t you at least a little glad to see someone without the Bush name take the office? I like this [...]
You do not know how happy it makes me to be done with this sweater! It started about 2 years ago with Mike picking out his yarn, and hours spent finding The Right Pattern. He settled on the Spartan Pullover from IK, but wanted it to be a cardigan and the design at the bottom [...]

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. …

I finished something! I started knitting soleil last summer and just now finished! I didn’t quite finish it last summer when the weather started getting cold so I put it away until now. In honor of project spectrum, I decided to finally finish it. I thought I had a bit more to knit on the [...]
We got our Christmas tree on Monday! It was muddy and cold but I loved getting the tree. This is our first Christmas in our own home and that is really exciting. We have big windows in the front of our house and the tree is going in front of them so …
I finally finished my gyrid top! Here it is! I didn;t mean to not show my face in the pictures but I was using the self-timer and that one happened to be the best picture of the shirt but I didn’t have it lined up right to get my face. The finishing was the hardest [...]
