In what may be a personal record, I received yarn for Valentine's Day and as of last night I have a new pair of fingerless mitts for me! Wasn't that sweet? Three minis of Madelinetosh Tosh Merino DK in the Forever Yours colorway. It's an amazing combination of hot pink, neon blue, purples, and charcoal.… Continue reading Warm Waffle Mitts

FO Friday No Red Pen Needed
I'm pretty pleased that today's project marks my completion of the Freshman Year of Loopy Academy! Both semesters are under my belt, and I really am looking forward to Camp Loopy starting on Monday!

FO Friday – Mitts & a Monster
I am in love with these mitts! This was my first Malabrigo March project, the Nathair Mitts, in Malabrigo Rios, the Solis colorway. The cable was fun to work and though it did require my attention, I was able to work on these while watching TV and at knitting night without any mistakes! The yarn… Continue reading FO Friday – Mitts & a Monster

Over the years I have stashed it, admired it, coveted it, and yes, knit with it. Lately though I have just let it simmer in my stash. I… Continue reading WIP Wednesday
While I wait
Trying to keep myself occupied and distracted (without being too grumpy or antsy) this week as I continue to play the waiting game with the lil'nutmeg and the hospital. Thank goodness for knitting! I'm still working away on the hexipuffs: And have also sent off a bunch of mini-skeins for a swap - I am… Continue reading While I wait
Toddler Flittens
Yesterday when we were playing outside, I mentioned to the Lorax that I will have to make her a neckwarmer for her pink coat (I'm thinking Scallo-pie, Not-a-scarf or just finishing the Zebra scarf). She pipes up that "My hands are freezing!" I told her that I had some handy dandy hand warmers that she… Continue reading Toddler Flittens
