The weekends should not be for catching up, but this weekend that is what I will be doing. After a wind / rain storm on Wednesday night, we lost power and did not get it back until late Friday afternoon! UGH. It was such a ridiculous thing too, not a huge storm, but it did… Continue reading Mittens!

Yarn Along – Jan. 30
Someone turns into a little ham when the camera comes out. He knows to say "Cheese" and look at that casual way of posing. Like he doesn't really care if he's in the shot or not. Silly boy. Anyway, I've had a fairly productive week. I am just about at the end of Season to… Continue reading Yarn Along – Jan. 30
Yarn Along – January 23
~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your… Continue reading Yarn Along – January 23

Christmas Knits
I have to say, I am quite pleased with myself and the gifts I knit for Christmas. There was no frantic weaving in of ends, and for the most part everything work as I intended it to. I found these great handmade gift labels to attach to each gift and include some care instructions on… Continue reading Christmas Knits
Mittens
I can't remember if I already shared this here or not (and obviously, I'm too lazy to go check). With all the snow we've had, the Lorax has gotten a lot of wear out of her purple mittens. I noticed that they were getting a little too small for her and mentioned that I would… Continue reading Mittens
Unseasonable – part 2
Going with my own trend of knitting out of season, I've finished a pair of Bella's Mittens. As before, these are samples for FiberTrades.comThese are knit in Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky - they are a relatively quick knit. Ravelry details are here. And warm! I wish I had a pair of these back when… Continue reading Unseasonable – part 2
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
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!
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
