Baby Food!Originally uploaded by nutmegknitterInspired by this book and a stick blender that is waiting to be used, I decided to make a batch of sweet potato for the baby, affectionately referred to around here as "The Lorax". The book is great, takes you through every detail as if you have never cooked or even… Continue reading Baby Food!

Considering glee
My Glee swetaer is 98% finished - it needs some hook and eyes clasps and two ends to weve in. I really pushed myself to just get it done, and I'm quite proud of the fact that I did. Love the zephyrstyle pattern - well written, and construction-wise - top down all in one piece… Continue reading Considering glee
Necking
My "Glee" sweater is almost finished! At SnB this week I finished the bottom ribbing and a sleeve. Friday I finished the other sleeve and last night I started on the neck ribbing. I concentrated so hard on it - and today finished that part! So, all that's left is the other half of the… Continue reading Necking
Dr. Oliver Spags’ Oral Histories – Episode 3-15
A little levity for your Monday - my brother and his comedy group. Be advised, there's some harsh language.
My colors are ‘Blush’ and ‘Bashful’….
Her colors are pink and pink! Those lines from Steel Magnolias so aptly describe the color scheme in this house. It seemed to me that each room had somewhere some shade of pink or lilac in it - for crying out loud, even our sun porch has peachy-pink blinds. Soooo not my colors. Anyway, over… Continue reading My colors are ‘Blush’ and ‘Bashful’….
Stash Surprise
Stash SurpriseOriginally uploaded by nutmegknitterI was digging through a stash box - it's mostly yarn I'm not wild about and / or leftovers - and I found this. It's a ribbon-yarn-scarf - I think the yarn is Plymouth Eros. It just needs a few more ends for fringe. Thing is, I hate it - I'm… Continue reading Stash Surprise
6 Months!
6 Months!Originally uploaded by nutmegknitterI can't believe that Lorelai is 6 months old today! Especially touching as other friends of ours had their baby (a boy) today - they are just starting out.... Seems like so long ago that everything was so new and we had no idea what was in store for us. You… Continue reading 6 Months!
The Very Patient Bear
Hoo-ray! I finally finished the Bobbi Bear that I started back in 2005!!! All he needed was ears and a face. At SnB last week I was talking with others about finishing, and I challenged myself to get it done by the next SnB - and I did it! Go me! He's huge. And the… Continue reading The Very Patient Bear
Baby sweater!
Finally, I've got photos of my knits! This weekend I made pretty good progress on all my knits - I finished Lorelai's sweater, a market bag I'm test knitting, I pulled the Bobbi Bear out of hibernation, and I've just about finished one sock (the toe needs kitchnering). The Seamless Baby Kimono was made using… Continue reading Baby sweater!
Good Eats
I did say my next post would have knitting - it's all being worked on. Certainly I can distract any blog readers with Lorelai's adventures into "solid" food? She had her first cereal today. She went at it like a champ! It might not look like it from that last photo, but more food went… Continue reading Good Eats
