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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
