One of the best things about New England is the fall season. It's so pretty here and we are lucky enough to be in prime apple country. My local orchard (Bishops) is wonderful - and last week I was able to pick up some of the first Macouns of the season. These are my favorite… Continue reading Apple Season

Neck Sock Finished!Originally uploaded by nutmegknitterI finished this cowl neck sock at SnB last week. I want to promote the word "Neck Sock" - neckwarmer can be misleading (Oh, you mean a scarf!) and no one really seems to know what a cowl is anyway. Neck sock is just right. Anyway, I love it. I… Continue reading Neck Sock Finished!

Things have sortof settled down here. I've been able to pick up the knitting for brief bouts of time as I'm still dealing with sinus issue (allergies? cold? I have no idea.) Anyway, I finished sheldon (knitty.com) - but as it is for Lorelai, I've named this turtle Sookie. A relatively quick knit, fun to… Continue reading Finishing & Starting Stuff

Short and sweet. Thursday I started to feel the effects of an allergy attack (I thought) - I wanted to go out with the SnB-ers to celebrate JennSquared, but just ran out of steam. Friday was a complete wash with a sinus thing, although L & I did get to go out for coffee and… Continue reading Drive By Blogging

Sanrio Sock Club KitOriginally uploaded by nutmegknitterYesterday was a fantastic mail day - I got my next project for Schaefer (and my yarn from the last project - Miss Priss in Thistle for a "Mr.Greenjeans"). And the Sanrio Sock Club from Woolgirl arrived. I have the sport weight yarn (quick socks, right?!) and look at… Continue reading Sanrio Sock Club Kit

(September flew right on it, didn't it?!)--------------------------------------------------Original post here. Updates: January, February, March, June, July---------------------------------------------------I like a challenge. I love lists. I think this sort of list would be good to help me keep some focus (on me) now that the bulk of my focus is on my family. This list has been inspired by… Continue reading August 101 update

9 months today!Originally uploaded by nutmegknitterI can't believe how fast time has flown. Everyone said it would. And I politely listened, and I have no regrets, but I will say that I miss how you would fall asleep on me or Daddy. You are so much fun - you laugh so often (it's a great… Continue reading 9 months today!

You know that scence in the movie What about Bob?, where Bill Murray's character is tied to the mast and he's screaming "I'm sailing!". Yeah, that's how I feel about crochet right now. I'm working on a sheldon for Lorelai and attempted the crochet edging on the shell attachment. OMG, I *think* I get it… Continue reading I’m Crocheting!

IMG_5600Originally uploaded by nutmegknitterWe tried going for a hike this weekend - Lorelai in the baby bjorn on Dan's back. The weather was perfect but one of us was teething (L.)and one of us had taken allergy medicine and was feeling very sleepy (me). It was a good weekend otherwise and I can't believe it's… Continue reading Peek!

Here I goOriginally uploaded by nutmegknitterLorelai has discovered her Everest. The stairs. I think this is my new favorite photo, but it's so sad at the same time - she's growing up so fast and soon she'll be doing who knows how many things and headed away from me! The stairs don't end where she's… Continue reading How I spend my days
