I'm getting caught up in my blog posting, go me! On Wednesday, I started dog training classes at PawsNEffect in Hamden. Jackson joins me next week. Even though he's two, he's never been to obedience classes. He's a really great dog - sits when you ask, and doesn't get into too much trouble around the… Continue reading Which brings us to today.

Week in review
The nutshell version is that I continue to be somewhat distracted. Startitis of projects. Trying to clean up one room so that we can make a different room into the baby's room. Makes the week go by quite quickly that's for sure. Monday I went to a SnB which was very cool. It was nice… Continue reading Week in review
Shrug.
What a blah day. I got a bit of knitting done - and caught up on netflix movies - ones that have been sitting here and Dan didn't want to watch them. I watched Babel first. Wow. Visually impressive and overall heart-wrenching complex story. I really liked it. I had started "Shrug This" from the… Continue reading Shrug.
Round the House
I finished off the Baby Tart / Berry Tart hat before we left for PA. I made the smallest size and am glad that I did because those bobbles were driving me nuts once I figured them out. It's not a tall tart, but it's cute. Hopefully when it's on my sweetie pie it will… Continue reading Round the House
Projects!
I'm so excited - I decided on a project, worked on it (and pretty much only it) and it was done before the due date: Father's Day - even though I won't see my dad until the end of the week. I made him the Knitpicks Bow Tie I used Cygnet Wool Rich Four Ply… Continue reading Projects!
Still Life with Dachshund
After 2 botched attempts, the third time was the charm for my string bag (via magknits) (and some mods I read about on the craftster boards). I ended up casting on 45, knitting the lace repeats 14 times, then instead of binding off and seaming the sides, I cast off some stitches and worked the… Continue reading Still Life with Dachshund
Catch-Up (FO & Swaps)
It's been a while, but life back at work following a vacation and a snow day just makes everyone crazy. Not to mention it is report card time. And they didn't get started on knocking down the wall in my classroom either, so it really looks like a bomb went off. Anyway, I finished the… Continue reading Catch-Up (FO & Swaps)
FO! Hat attempt
I had been working on a Fake Isle Hat from magknits. I used some Lamb's Pride and yarn that I received in a swap from colorfullife (on etsy) - love love love the yarn! So I knit:and it fits - quite exciting, Jackson was sad to learn I would model this one, not him! However,… Continue reading FO! Hat attempt
FO! but defeated. (Project Spectrum woes)
I finished the Santa Cruz and I just love this photo detail of the stitch pattern on the top:I used Wool of the Andes in the Rain colorway. I like the pattern, but the hat it does not fit. Well, it doesn't fit me. Of course it fits Jackson:A few people at work just had… Continue reading FO! but defeated. (Project Spectrum woes)
FO! Scarf #3 and other projects
First off, Happy Valentine's Day - smooches all around from Jackson:Second, thanks for the comments about the graffiti - in short it's annoying and kids are mean (which apparently will continue on into their adult years). Today is a snow day - it's been sleeting but there is snow accumulating. Yay! The pup is not… Continue reading FO! Scarf #3 and other projects
