This really was a Halloween to remember for a variety of reasons. This was the first "real" Halloween in 2 years (2011 had a snowstorm, 2012 had Sandy aftermath), my daughter was old enough to actually get into the whole costume and trick-or-treating side of things, and it was warm! Like 60 degrees F!! Positively… Continue reading Halloween Hangover

It’s Wednesday?!
Bugger. I'm so off this week. I keep thinking yesterday was today, my email has been wonky and it's just an all around kerfluffle. I should have a WIP update, but I don't even have a photo ready. I haven't touched my 30 day sweater because of the knitting distractions over the weekend. This week… Continue reading It’s Wednesday?!
Weekending
I already know I'm going to want to spotlight the kid's Halloween costumes on Friday (they are very awesome FOs, even if they are not knit) so I figure that today I'll share a bit about my weekend, which does include knitting projects! Saturday was the end of this session of swim lessons. I am… Continue reading Weekending
FO Friends
Holy smokes, where does the time go?! I have meaning to post all week and it just hasn't happened. In short, Rhinebeck was highly successful for me. Lots of stash enhancement and all items on my shopping list (Weekend Wool for several hats and the Lodestar Mittens, from Green Mountain Weekend; Good Karma Farm sock… Continue reading FO Friends
To Rhinebeck!
The time has come - Rhinebeck is this weekend! I will be there in my new "Rhinebeck Sweater" - I picked up the yarn at last year's show, and have finished it to wear when I go on Sunday. Proudly presenting my newest FO, Morning Coffee by Kate Oates! The yarn is from Good Karma… Continue reading To Rhinebeck!
A Bunny Buddy
I finished up this little bunny rattle last week for a visit to see my niece last weekend. It is actually a rattle, and the pattern is very simple. He's cute and I would make this again. I had a bit of trouble taking a good picture to show the scale - the whale bag… Continue reading A Bunny Buddy
Stripes and blobs
My weekly pile of projects! It's relatively small this week, as the bulk of my time was spent on my 30 Day Sweater Challenge (and then, ripping it out). I worked on the dinosaur tummy panel during a meeting, and his tail was started during a car ride. The stripey socks have the heel flaps… Continue reading Stripes and blobs
Steps forward, steps back
I was so excited last night about my knitting. I have been diligent about working my way through the 30 Day Sweater ebook recipe for a basic long sleeve pullover. I really like how it is broken down into a percentage to work each day. It has been manageable, and that's impressive if you also… Continue reading Steps forward, steps back
Just another list
I don't have any finished objects to share right now, but I did want to make a post. While doing some blog searches this afternoon I came across Pip's post, "Things I Grew Up With" and it just struck a chord. Who doesn't need a good dash of nostalgia on a Friday afternoon? (Also? I… Continue reading Just another list
Decisions on WIP Wednesday
Here's my pleasant pile of projects and what I'm perusing. I'm on the button-hole band of my Morning Coffee and I've hit a wall (it's all mostly mental). Part one: The buttons are still to be determined! I bought a set at the CT Sheep and Wool this spring, but a) I don't absolutely love… Continue reading Decisions on WIP Wednesday
