a.k.a. My dog is a good sport part #3750293854 (note to Emmie beloved cat of Knelley, you could be a better sport!)I've been wanting to make this for a while - it's a "Snood for a Hound" ravelry-link by Erssie. I love pretty much any dog anyway, but the hounds have a special place in… Continue reading Cover every little neck

FO Found!
This week we had a whole house fan installed, so the work-guys had to get up into the roof crawlspace. You get to that through my closet, so I had to clear it out. In doing so I found a FO that I forgot about. I made Bobblicious from Knitty.com, winter '05! I remember working… Continue reading FO Found!
More on Crochet
Photo proof of the crochet-in-progress on the turtle-in-progress:I'm so excited with myself that I immediately cast on for a crochet-dishcloth (baby drool cloth) because I can. I think it's working! The edges seem a little bit wonky to me, but I'm not going to worry about it, since there is also a border of some… Continue reading More on Crochet
WIP Wrestling – Event Completed!
First off, thanks for the comments re: Dan's interview - he was happy to do it, he fully acknowledges that he doesn't read my blog and he was interested to know if he was right about my favorite yarn and the swatch 🙂 I'm a "Ravthlete" - I competed in WIP Wrestling for Team New… Continue reading WIP Wrestling – Event Completed!
Knitting while you wait
Friends of ours are expecting a baby boy any day now. Actually the little one is a week late and it was thought mom would be induced on Friday and we could go visit today. Well, there weren't any beds available, so now the induction is put on hold until Monday! Hoping it would help… Continue reading Knitting while you wait
Finished – the weekend and knits
This weekend went by in a bit of a blur. We had friends and their dog down for the weekend. Their dog Bailee is a bassett hound and Lorelai thought he was just the funniest thing ever. Poor Jackson 🙂 We saw "The Dark Knight" - OMG. I thougth it was very well done, raised… Continue reading Finished – the weekend and knits
trying to be a better eco-mama
I've been having so much fun with the stick blender and making "food cubes" for Lorelai - we've got sweet potato, apples, bananas and green beans in the freezer. How easy, just mush up the food and freeze. And as she gets older / more teeth / the hang of eating I can be lazy… Continue reading trying to be a better eco-mama
Baby sweater!
Finally, I've got photos of my knits! This weekend I made pretty good progress on all my knits - I finished Lorelai's sweater, a market bag I'm test knitting, I pulled the Bobbi Bear out of hibernation, and I've just about finished one sock (the toe needs kitchnering). The Seamless Baby Kimono was made using… Continue reading Baby sweater!
Neon in a blender
I was digging into my stash and found a ball of Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn - in pinks, orange, green and yellow. I decided to make a "Baby Genius Burp Cloth" from the Mason-Dixon gals. As I was knitting it up I absolutely hated the colors! It's all neon mushed up, and I really… Continue reading Neon in a blender
Knits
I called it quits on finished a scarf. The pattern is a "drop stitch" scarf that I bought from CT Yarn and Wool. I used Bo Peep's Sock yarn in a purple. Jackson was kind enough to model:Did you notice? There's no dropped stitches! I dropped as instructed when binding off, but they did not… Continue reading Knits
