I have two knitting projects to share! First, I finished my spiral scarf a while ago but have been hesitant to blog about it. The dilemma is that I love it a lot but I can’t wear it! It makes my neck itch and get red splotches. It’s superwash wool and I dyed …

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 …

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 …
