This was Wednesday (at the library): We went for a nice walk and stopped in to get a haircut. Unplanned, but it worked. Today she looks like this:Yes, that's a handmade sweater 🙂 Not by me, but by Auntie Virginia (ravelry link) - today is forecast for a high of 65?! Fantastic! Sweater weather for… Continue reading Decked out by Auntie VA (and a haircut)
Neck Sock Finished!
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!
Finishing & Starting Stuff
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
Drive By Blogging
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

(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
Finish the sentence meme
Saw this twice today, and thought it was neat. Take if you like and share! 1. My uncle once worked at the zoo2. Never in my life will I give less than my best. 3. When I was five my parents sent my dog "to the farm" and they still won't tell me what happened… Continue reading Finish the sentence meme
More on Crochet
Photo proof of the crochet-in-progress on the turtle-in-progress:I'm so excited with myself that I immediately cast on for a crochet-dishcloth (baby drool cloth) because I can. I think it's working! The edges seem a little bit wonky to me, but I'm not going to worry about it, since there is also a border of some… Continue reading More on Crochet
9 months today!
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!
I’m Crocheting!
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!
