First, thank you for putting good thoughts / prayers / vibes out into the universe for my niece this week. Her surgery went well and so far, recovery is looking good. I'm going to share the Heartcat I made one more time, because I am so super proud of it and I got possibly the… Continue reading Relief

Mostly Teal
I am so very happy it is Friday. This week has been a bit much to bear and there has been a lot of stress, I'll be posting about some of it soon as I'm finding a new cause to support but still finding the right words as it involves kids, and sick kids just… Continue reading Mostly Teal
Teal and Violet
Here's hoping this is the day when things turn around. The new school and work routines are still in progress. My WIPs are somewhat under control (after I wind up a lot more yarn today), and I've been finishing things too! First up is a project for my niece. I saw the pattern for these… Continue reading Teal and Violet
Done Dinosaur
Way back in April I agreed to knit a Terence the Tap Dancing T-rex as part of an swap on Ravelry. Thankfully, the intended recipient is very patient with me. This dinosaur is ready to head off to a new home! His body (including tail and arms) were made with one skein of Ella Rae… Continue reading Done Dinosaur

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
FO Friday – Blanket
I have so many WIPs going on right now, my knitting bag / basket / project area is starting to overflow. I started taking a look at what was in there to see if there was anything I could possibly move along. I started a Reversible Crochet Baby Blanket earlier this spring intending to give… Continue reading FO Friday – Blanket
FO Friday: Stripe Study
as I am so very excited that I finished my Stripe Study shawl. The first mini-collage was right after I cast off. This was my second project as part of Camp Loopy with The Loopy Ewe. The pattern is so straight forward and perfect for tv-knitting, if you do that sort of thing. This was… Continue reading FO Friday: Stripe Study
Socks and a Rattle – FO Friday!
When I think of the projects I have to share this week I mostly think, FINALLY - it's about time! My Jelly Bean socks, were started in August 2012 as part of a KAL! The delay in finishing these is due purely to my own distractions. The yarn is Green Mountain Spinnery Sock Art -… Continue reading Socks and a Rattle – FO Friday!
