(moment of frustration here - I was doing so well and getting each post up on the right day! Yesterday, well, real life just kept me away from the blog, so L is a day late! It happens.) Yarn: L is for the Lemonade Shop yarn! This was also a new-to-me yarn that I found… Continue reading AtoZ Challenge L is for

Let the Wild Rumpus Start
Hello Summer! Two things have always marked the beginning of summer for me: the end of the school year and my birthday. Both happened at the end of last week, and here we are - summer has finally arrived after a very long winter and a very delayed spring. We're once again adjusting to new… Continue reading Let the Wild Rumpus Start
Of Classes, Cats and Dogs
This week I have been working on the Cody Cardigan, a specially requested HeartCat, a pair of socks, and the Once Upon a Time Sampler. I like having a variety of projects as it stretches my hand muscles in different ways and keeps my attention. I am expecting to get moving on a few other… Continue reading Of Classes, Cats and Dogs
Back to the blog
Hello! Merry Christmas! Hopefully you had a lovely holiday season, I feel very lucky to say that I did. Among all the events (and noise, oh the noise) there was a lot of love and laughter. I love Christmas, I do, but I also love the days after it all to recover and be lazy.… Continue reading Back to the blog
To Rhinebeck!
The time has come - Rhinebeck is this weekend! I will be there in my new "Rhinebeck Sweater" - I picked up the yarn at last year's show, and have finished it to wear when I go on Sunday. Proudly presenting my newest FO, Morning Coffee by Kate Oates! The yarn is from Good Karma… Continue reading To Rhinebeck!
Good Mail – part 2
It has been a long time since I've done a partner swap, but I decided to play along with the Chittery-Chattery-Swappery-Swappers group on Ravelry in the Scavenger Hunt partner swap. Isn't that a mouthful? :)The guidelines: This will be a one-on-one partner swap (you’ll know who your partner is and be able to communicate with… Continue reading Good Mail – part 2
Good Mail – part 1
I was very excited to see the mailman stop the truck at my mailbox this week and put two packages inside! The first package contained yarn! On Twitter, I think, is where I first found rAchel (ontheround) - she's got a young one at home and is a spinner and knitter. Then I checked out… Continue reading Good Mail – part 1
Nutmeg Knitting – My Etsy Shop
A while back I spotted a post on Ravelry by Kate of TotToppers.com - she was going to allow for knitters to purchase a cottage license, which means the knitter has permission to sell the finished product of selected patterns. I thought this was a great idea, reasonable in price, and I adore her work,… Continue reading Nutmeg Knitting – My Etsy Shop
Sew.
A few weeks back I broke out my sewing machine again, with this box bag tutorial by my side. I got such a thrill out of this little project - similar to when you are knitting a sock and you get to the weird part at the heel and then before you know it, POOF!,… Continue reading Sew.
Big Bad Baby Blanket
I finished this blanket last week or just before. I bought the yarn back in May when Betsy and I went to Webs. I started it, but stopped because I got superstitious... I picked it up and put it down many times, more so towards the end of my pregnancy, but didn't finish it before… Continue reading Big Bad Baby Blanket
