Hello Friday! I am very excited to share this project this week. It's an amineko / crochet cat friend - around here we affectionately refer to them as "HeartCats". This is a custom project, specially requested for a new baby who is also facing some heart issues. As before, I used Plymouth Sockotta held doubled.… Continue reading FO Friday

Warming Up
My FOs that I have to share are part of the Marathon of Warmth. I've made two hats and a cowl (386 yards down!) and soon they will be sent out to HatLoveKnits. I really enjoyed working with both of these patterns and the yarns. The teal hat is a Wurm in SimpliWorsted. This one… Continue reading Warming Up
Halloween Hangover
This really was a Halloween to remember for a variety of reasons. This was the first "real" Halloween in 2 years (2011 had a snowstorm, 2012 had Sandy aftermath), my daughter was old enough to actually get into the whole costume and trick-or-treating side of things, and it was warm! Like 60 degrees F!! Positively… Continue reading Halloween Hangover
A Bunny Buddy
I finished up this little bunny rattle last week for a visit to see my niece last weekend. It is actually a rattle, and the pattern is very simple. He's cute and I would make this again. I had a bit of trouble taking a good picture to show the scale - the whale bag… Continue reading A Bunny Buddy
Relief

Teal and Violet
Here's hoping this is the day when things turn around. The new school and work routines are still in progress. My WIPs are somewhat under control (after I wind up a lot more yarn today), and I've been finishing things too! First up is a project for my niece. I saw the pattern for these… Continue reading Teal and Violet
Done Dinosaur
Way back in April I agreed to knit a Terence the Tap Dancing T-rex as part of an swap on Ravelry. Thankfully, the intended recipient is very patient with me. This dinosaur is ready to head off to a new home! His body (including tail and arms) were made with one skein of Ella Rae… Continue reading Done Dinosaur
Wrapping Up August
For this edition of FO Friday, I have two things that were completed to share with you. I'll share the crochet one first. My August Augusta Shawl, in Manos del Uruguay Serena, is finished and that means I have successfully completed Camp Loopy 2013! I am quite impressed with myself that I did it. I… Continue reading Wrapping Up August
Acheivement Unlocked: Aunt Status!
I am super excited for this FO Friday as I can finally share a few items that have been under wraps for a while. My niece, Violet, made her arrival last weekend and she is just wonderful. Little Violet is surrounded by a great number of handcrafters - her crib has a beautiful quilt and… Continue reading Acheivement Unlocked: Aunt Status!
