I have two shareable WIPs this week, both are socks, and both are pretty much at the same point in construction. Sock #1 of the DPH pair is ready for a heel turn. Sock #1 of Lorelai's Knee Highs is also ready for a heel turn. I am pretty sure that I will start the… Continue reading September Starts with Socks

It’s Time for Teal-tember
September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month! There are so many ways to get involved and help spread the word. Maybe you have heard about Teal Toes? The idea is to get in one more pedicure before the weather turns and by having an unusual color like teal, when people comment on it, it is an… Continue reading It’s Time for Teal-tember
Wrapping Up August
For this edition of FO Friday, I have two things that were completed to share with you. I'll share the crochet one first. My August Augusta Shawl, in Manos del Uruguay Serena, is finished and that means I have successfully completed Camp Loopy 2013! I am quite impressed with myself that I did it. I… Continue reading Wrapping Up August
Fiddly WIPs
It's the Wednesday before school starts and life is fiddly. We are getting ready for the start of Kindergarten for the Lorax and early preschool for the Nutmeg. I have what feels like a million things going on in my head (label this, read that, pay attention to this schedule, wait! who needs shoes /… Continue reading Fiddly WIPs
Acheivement Unlocked: Aunt Status!
I am super excited for this FO Friday as I can finally share a few items that have been under wraps for a while. My niece, Violet, made her arrival last weekend and she is just wonderful. Little Violet is surrounded by a great number of handcrafters - her crib has a beautiful quilt and… Continue reading Acheivement Unlocked: Aunt Status!
Shawl, Socks and a Dino WIP
We're in the back-to-school-prep-zone this week. Why do I want to start a million new projects (not necessarily knitting or crochet related) when I know there is only so much time in the day? A new school year feels like a fresh start, even if I am not the student anymore. In between party prep,… Continue reading Shawl, Socks and a Dino WIP
Party Hangover and a List
What a weekend. We had a small family party for Nate's 2nd - it was a bit last minute in the planning, but in the end worked out just fine. The general theme of construction / trucks worked out well. A few photos! I got to play a bit in photoshop which was fun, and… Continue reading Party Hangover and a List
Socks and a Birthday
This may be the turning of the tide! I finished the socks for the Lorax this week. I held back from outright giving them to her mostly out of fear that she would balk at the idea, so I just left them on the table. She found them and brought them over to me, "Here… Continue reading Socks and a Birthday
Progress
Going for the short and sweet version today. Reading: I finished Me Before You and would totally recommend it. Impulsively I grabbed The Woman Upstairs at the library from the 7-day loan section. It's slow going, mostly because I keep stopping to re-read passages. I really like this main character. Sadly, I'm only 40 pages… Continue reading Progress
A bit of ridiculous
I have to say that I was pretty excited for this Monday Listicle prompt, "10 Ridiculous Things I saw Online" - perfect for looking back over Pinterest. It seems I have liked a lot of ridiculous things. These made me giggle and snort and that's not too bad of a way to start the week.… Continue reading A bit of ridiculous
