I haven't participated in Dogs on Thursday in a while, so certainly it is overdue. I thought I would share how Jackson and Lorelai currently interact (with some commentary)This is one of Jackson's best tricks - we call it "The Squirrel" because how he sits upright with his itty bitty paws. Lorelai frequently walks about… Continue reading Dogs on Thursday & A Quick FO

Awesome (1000000+)
Last week I received several great packages in the mail. First off: I treated myself to the Ravelry mug. Dan rolled his eyes when he saw it, even after I tried to explain the awesomeness of the "disagree" when it's empty and "Agree" when it's full of coffee. I even offered to share the mug… Continue reading Awesome (1000000+)
Blahs and otherwise
My internet was a bit wonky and FUBAR since last Thursday, but now seems to be much better. (Blah#1)I made this little tiger for my Cocoa Swap pal, Sarah - she's starting culinary school! I had a lot of fun shopping for her and making this little guy. I used Barbara Prime's Tiger pattern -… Continue reading Blahs and otherwise
Looped
I think I've figured out Magic Loop - and I think I love it! I'm really amazed that a) it works! and b) why didn't I try to learn this sooner? Now I want to Magic Loop everything! I finished one iPhone Mitt - since it is one long tube, it's perfect for tv knitting,… Continue reading Looped
Mittens!
In the past few weeks it's been, pardon my New England, wicked cold here. So cold that I get all chicken about going out into the cold with the Lorax. She's got a great hat and is all bundled up when we go out, but she didn't have any mittens. I improvised once and stuck… Continue reading Mittens!
Hat & Hoodie
Finally, I can blog about the hoodie project I worked on for LornasLaces - did you know they are expanding their colors to the Green Line - that's their organic merino wool. I was provided with some of the worsted weight in the "Beverly" colorway, which is just stunning! It was great shades of blue-grey-green.… Continue reading Hat & Hoodie
Two Tops
It's so icky out today - I tried to "shovel" the front walk a bit and it really was just pushing slushy water to the side. Weather reports say snow is coming maybe tomorrow and later on in the week / weekend so maybe I'll actually get a proper action shot of Lorelai in her… Continue reading Two Tops
Christmas Catch-Up
(Maybe I should make a resolution to not title my posts with "catch up" I feel like a use that a lot!)First off, a big big Thank You! to Amy - she had a contest on her blog and while I didn't win, I was a close second! She sent me a great package!There's the… Continue reading Christmas Catch-Up
Avoiding the chills
It's cold out and we're surrounded by 6-8 inches of snow and ice. I don't mind, and I'm not complaining. I like New England winters - sure they are unpredictable, but when the first snowflakes start to fall it is just so pretty out! And as long as there is snow, it makes the cold… Continue reading Avoiding the chills
On the Move
Last night Lorelai started walking! We can get her to walk between us - maybe 5 - 6 steps - it's just incredible to watch her figure out her balance and such. I think she likes the falling part too. She's such an imp! Feeding is now more of an issue - I know I… Continue reading On the Move
