How I spend my days
Here I goOriginally uploaded by nutmegknitterLorelai has discovered her Everest. The stairs. I think this is my new favorite photo, but it's so sad at the same time - she's growing up so fast and soon she'll be doing who knows how many things and headed away from me! The stairs don't end where she's… Continue reading How I spend my days
Hemlock Ring – WIP

If you've ever thought about knitting the "Central Park Hoodie" I would like to push and nudge you to do so. This pattern (so far) rocks. I love the pattern, love the yarn (Cascade 220 Heathers), and could keep on gushing about it! I finished the back at SnB last night and have started the… Continue reading Sharing the love
Central Park in progress
I've given in to my whims of being obsessed with out of season items - I'm going to do the afghan marathon for the ravelympics and I have started my central park hoodie. So far, I love everything about this project. I love the pattern, I love that it's on US9!!! I love that I've… Continue reading Central Park in progress
