My dog has done the unthinkable. Something he’s never done in the 3 wonderful years that I’ve had him. He ate my knitting! And not just any old knitting- the first thing I managed to complete since Sairshe was born! I was so happy to have finished something and then, before [...]

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 [...]
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

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 cute

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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, I know. Life has been insane lately but I think it’s getting back to normal, whatever that really is. I still haven’t finished my “modern bustier”. I think that’s a stupid name for the pattern. Does anyone have a better name? I did buy the things I need [...]
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 [...]
