For my FO Friday, I'm pleased to share my third hand-made dinosaur! Joining Dino and Dinosaur Rex we have Spikey! Spikey the Stegosaurus, a Fresh Stitches design, is a really fun pattern to work up. As I've written before the pattern is straightforward and not complicated. Stacey's patterns are a great way to get started… Continue reading Just Call Me Mother of Dinosaurs

A Lot of Dinosaurs
Yay for going to the library. I just finished the Ten-Year Nap (meh. Didn't love it or hate it.), so that went back and The Invention of Wings came home with me. My mom read it and spoke highly of it. We also found a pile of dinosaur related books. I didn't have a dinosaur… Continue reading A Lot of Dinosaurs
FO Friday Cuteness
Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! It is a rather dreary day here, so that is annoying and giving us a touch of cabin fever. We are having a mostly quiet 4th even with the rain. The biggest plan is to tucker out the kids so that my son will sleep ok… Continue reading FO Friday Cuteness
A Pile of Yarn, Books, and Plans
Who's surprised? Not me. I can't really show you my WIP this week, as it is sample knitting. Also it needs to be finished and sent back, so I'm knitting hardcore on that! Winding the yarn does make me stop, stand up, take a stretch break from being hunched over and knitting, so that's good.… Continue reading A Pile of Yarn, Books, and Plans
Orange You Glad It is Friday?
It feels like forever since I have had a Finished Object to share! And today I have not one, but two! First up, my Camp Loopy Project #1: Socks, inspired by the Wrinkle in Time series, in String Theory Colorworks Little Ghost Nebula Colorway. Mostly plain vanilla toe-up, fish lips kiss heel, with the addition… Continue reading Orange You Glad It is Friday?
Yarn Along June 18
I'm including the books I'm reading with my kids for this week's Yarn Along. My son, like most 2.5 year olds, likes repetition. We've been reading and re-reading the same books over and over and that's ok, but I wanted something different. I introduced him to Where the Wild Things Are this week, one of… Continue reading Yarn Along June 18
Obvious Issues
Here's the nitty-gritty: It's school vacation week. My brain is full. My knitting mojo is weak. It happens. I started working on a crochet washcloth just to have something to occupy my hands and do something creative. That seemed to have worked, because I'm now on cloth #5. This is my new "potato-chip" project, and… Continue reading Obvious Issues
FO Friday and Mojo Search
My FO this week is another amineko, this one is a birthday gift for my aunt/godmother. While I love working with a theme, I know how easy it is to get overwhelmed by that theme. When I was younger, I loved poison dart frogs. I still do actually, they are so interesting! Well, people ran… Continue reading FO Friday and Mojo Search
On a limb
I thought that once March wrapped up, we might be able to start April off on the right foot. Well, I may as well have started April off with a visit to the Ministry of Silly Walks because holy chickens, it has been a whirlwind of activity and not all of it is great. You're… Continue reading On a limb
Socks, a scarf, a kit and a book
I finished Stitches last week and enjoyed it, though I was left wanting a bit more. Lucky for me, my mom brought Help, Thanks, Wow to borrow (which I gave to her at Christmas). I have yet to start it; maybe I'll be able to sneak in a few pages today. I've also been reading… Continue reading Socks, a scarf, a kit and a book
