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
25 Things
Copying from my facebook notes. This has gone around so many times. 1. I'm usually late to the current trends.2. I can't sleep with the closet doors open. When I was 6, I was convinced that ET lived in my closet and that totally freaked me out. It was a big closet too.3. Hearing people… Continue reading 25 Things
A little bit of everything.
Things are good in this little nutshell - busy, but good. On Sunday, I went up to Peacefulknitter's for a knitting potluck party.

Obviously there was a lot… Continue reading A little bit of everything.

Notions
For a while I started to notice that my notions bag full of knitting tools was becoming crowded. There was so much random stuff in there. Today I finally dumped it out. (Photo taken after the sorting of all the stuff).Not surprisingly, there's paper, pens, stitch markers, lip balm, my kitchener dog tags, ruler, stitch… Continue reading Notions
Blurry vision
IMG_7082Originally uploaded by nutmegknitterMust be from staring so hard at the seams. More likely it's trying to take a photo without the flash.

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!
