The ends are all woven in. Blocking is done. The pins are removed. I have a new sweater! Sometimes I wish there were two of me - one to use the camera and the other I could boss around to pose. I used the self timer on the camera and mostly felt silly - but… Continue reading It’s Done!

And finally, I can sit.
For a moment. The last week or so has been such a blur - there were multiple visits with family, houseguests of all kinds for three days straight and Thanksgiving. It's been good. We hosted Thanksgiving again - it is a lot of work, but between myself and Dan, my brothers, sister-in-law and a brother's… Continue reading And finally, I can sit.
Belated.
Hello November! I had grand ideas of trying to do the blog post a day like some people I know (and admire them for doing it!) or even a daily gratitude entry for the month of November. But, all of a sudden it's midweek and I finally have my thoughts together (and some time) to… Continue reading Belated.
Batwoman Here.
I almost can't believe I did it! My Batshawl designed by Emilee! One skein of Malabrigo Lace - and I have leftovers! Wa na na na na na na na - Bat Shawl!I've yet to remove all the pins to actually try it on, so certainly there will be more photos. Now that I see… Continue reading Batwoman Here.
Garter Stitch.
Garter Stitch. It's one of those things every knitter starts out with right? I finally took a picture of my first ever knitting project. It was an afghan. Red Heart yarn, cranberry I think is the colorway. This project was made for Dan when we were dating (back in 2002 - we had been dating… Continue reading Garter Stitch.
Sweater Weather.
We're really getting into those "fall in New England" sort of days - cool in the morning and evening, sunny and pleasant during the day. There is rain in the forecast, but that's fine. I'm loving being back in long sleeves and handknit socks. My own sweaters could use a refreshing, so, on to the… Continue reading Sweater Weather.
llama llama mad at mama
(We took this book out of the library today - very cute story, love it! - even though the dress is merino / silk yarn and not llama, that's all I can think about after the photo shoot.)Pictures speak thousands of words. Words such as: It's been a long day - Dan's off to Long… Continue reading llama llama mad at mama
Crayola Joy
Color me excited, my baby used crayons! We had a little playdate at our house yesterday. I pulled out crayons and paper for the older little girl who was coming over, but the Lorax was taken with them. So I put her at the table and she sat and colored for 20 minutes! She did… Continue reading Crayola Joy
15 months and a FO
(When she got up this morning she immediately picked up the baby doll and put on the lei. Pure sunshine.)There is no 30th of February, but Lorelai is now 15 months. Fantastic! We have a healthy, happy, and active toddler on our hands. Still not talking a whole lot, but she can communicate what she… Continue reading 15 months and a FO
Well, there’s that.
Yesterday we were dumped on with snow. No big deal for me - I can work from home. And this is what happens here - we always get snow in March. One year (1997 I think) we had a blizzard on April 1! I did have to take the Lorax to a check-up and lucky… Continue reading Well, there’s that.
