I am pretty excited to feel the ever so slight chill in the air in the mornings. I have a drawer full of handknit socks ready to go and several hats that I can't wait to put back in to service. It does seem a bit early to me though that everywhere you turn there… Continue reading Not a Pumpkin Head

FO Friday Sockhead Hat
It feels like a long time since I have finished anything. Just in time for the return of the colder weather, I finished the knitting on a Sockhead Hat. I loved working with this yarn, Peppino, from The Yarns of Rhichard Devrieze. This project (knit with a variegated yarn) also fits the bill for the… Continue reading FO Friday Sockhead Hat
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
Hats on Friday
Sometime last week, or possibly the week before, as the outside temperatures took a major dip, school sent home a note that I needed to send "winter gear" in with my son. And then we also had to turn on the heat. The time had come to dig out the hats and mitts and scarves… Continue reading Hats on Friday
The Quiet Busy
This weekend was all together too short and too long. We had one designated, planned thing on each day, (each in town and under 2 hours) but by Sunday night we both thought this weekend was too busy. As the holiday season rolls in and we're looking forward to a fundraising event for family, Thanksgiving,… Continue reading The Quiet Busy
FO Friday – A Hat

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
Pining for Rhinebeck
Oh Rhinebeck. We wait all year to go and then woosh! the weekend just flies by! I had a really great time and consider this year to be a big success. I went with a list and pretty much found what I was looking for: yarn from Green Mountain Spinnery to do a JETS hat… Continue reading Pining for Rhinebeck

~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? ~ from small things Hurray! I finished all the knitting… Continue reading Yarn Along – May 9
Hats (part 2)
On Wednesday there was a hat in progress in my "Yarn Along" photo. I mentioned it had me grumbling a bit. Why? This hat was intended to be for the little nutmeg - probably the last cutesy hat I can get on him before he is able to grab them off. I used a pattern… Continue reading Hats (part 2)
Hats! (part 1)
When I first learned to knit, I made a lot of those fruit caps. They were easy, quick, and always got a big response. I still love to knit hats. Through facebook, the mom of one my friends got in touch with me, looking for hats for use in baby photography sessions. We talked about… Continue reading Hats! (part 1)
