For the last handful of posts I have alluded to a sample knitting job and I can finally share photos! This sweater is a Jill Wolcott Knits® design, the yarn is a gorgeous red from Red Barn Yarn paired with a red boucle in the trim. Due to a variety of circumstances, there was… Continue reading FO Friday – On the TNNA Runway

FO Friday
Eventually I will have finished knit projects to share! In the end, I have decided to add two more flowers to the cactus that I shared on Wednesday. I am very excited to have finished a blood drop! I have been meaning to give blood for a long while - I wanted to make it… Continue reading FO Friday
Oh, Life.
Typical. I get all excited to do something and then the follow through falls through. I truly intended to complete the entire week of posts for the Knitting & Crochet Blog Week. Wednesday was thrown off for kindergarten parent orientation (and a subsequent letter writing campaign), Thursday I had to put my energy into work,… Continue reading Oh, Life.
A cowl, an owl and cables! FO Friday!
It's been a good week! This cowl was my first crochet test project! Crystal wore hers a few weeks back to our knitting group and I was absolutely taken with it. I was rather forward in telling her that I was very interested in the pattern - I am feeling a lot more comfortable with… Continue reading A cowl, an owl and cables! FO Friday!
Mittens!
The weekends should not be for catching up, but this weekend that is what I will be doing. After a wind / rain storm on Wednesday night, we lost power and did not get it back until late Friday afternoon! UGH. It was such a ridiculous thing too, not a huge storm, but it did… Continue reading Mittens!
FO Friday – A Hat
I feel like a terrible knitter sometimes. All of a sudden, winter weather is coming on strong and my kids still did not have proper winter hats! I did make the Lorax a hat back in November with sparkly purple yarn she chose (Kollage Glisten), but I was impatient in getting to the crown decreases.… Continue reading FO Friday – A Hat
So this was Christmas…
Whoosh. Another Christmas has come and gone - it was a whirlwind (as always) and went by way to fast (as always) but was a good time & a success! This year we were low key on the side of decorations due to the Little Nutmeg being rather full of grabby hands. We had a… Continue reading So this was Christmas…
Baby Rock’n’Rollneck Sweater
A full-sized (baby) garment at last! There has never been a shortage of hats or cowls or other small things around this blog, so it feels quite good to post this one. I have had the Baby Rock'n'Rollneck sweater on my mind since last year when I saw PeacefulKnitter's version, WifeMomKnitter's version, and of course,… Continue reading Baby Rock’n’Rollneck Sweater
A more usual hat
Last week's heat wave really had me a bit puzzled thinking about baby#2 - how to dress the little one? With the Lorax, who was born in November, I didn't really think twice about putting an extra layer / blanket / hat on her to keep her warm enough. This time around, I think I… Continue reading A more usual hat
So cloche, so far
Still here, still pregnant. I did go off to Rhode Island for the night with the Lorax and my mom - it was really nice to get to hang out near the beach and even go out to dinner and show with a few of my aunts. One of my cousins babysat the Lorax while… Continue reading So cloche, so far
