I feel like so many of my knitting projects lately have been under wraps, that is the way of it when you knit for others. One of the projects I recently test knit has been released, so I can share it here! Presenting TECHknitter's Spice Road Cap:Straight from the Ravelry pattern page:Spice Road Cap is… Continue reading Spice Road Cap – Unwrapped

Christmas Knits
I have to say, I am quite pleased with myself and the gifts I knit for Christmas. There was no frantic weaving in of ends, and for the most part everything work as I intended it to. I found these great handmade gift labels to attach to each gift and include some care instructions on… Continue reading Christmas Knits
Age old question
If a knitter knits some item, and leaves it lying around, will it get worn and used? Yes. Well, I'll be. I knit up this Moochie hat for the Lorax back when it seemed like winter was arriving early. She picked the pattern and the yarn, and when it was finished she wouldn't let me… Continue reading Age old question
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
Representing at Rhinebeck
I am so excited for the weekend - it time for NY Sheep & Wool a.k.a. Rhinebeck! I am going to be going with my favorite sister-in-law (how awesome is it that she is a knitter?! AND we discovered last year that we have similar shopping strategies!) - she and my brother live not too… Continue reading Representing at Rhinebeck

I had made a pair of Holiday Mice, a Fuzzy Mitten pattern. They were relatively quick,… Continue reading Crossing off that List (still checking it twice)
Birthday Nutshell
So now, I'm 30 plus 1. As my dad said to me on Saturday, having birthdays is much better than the alternative you know. Thanks dad. It was a really good birthday - I got to do a little bit of everything! And there's stuff to look forward to - like U2!!!! - September… Continue reading Birthday Nutshell
Two Tops
It's so icky out today - I tried to "shovel" the front walk a bit and it really was just pushing slushy water to the side. Weather reports say snow is coming maybe tomorrow and later on in the week / weekend so maybe I'll actually get a proper action shot of Lorelai in her… Continue reading Two Tops
Sock Count (contest results) & another “misfire”
I've counted and sorted and am considering my queue & library for sock patterns - I've got 58 skeins in that box - Ikkinlala was the closest with 57! You win the book since your guess was in first - I've sent you an email - look for it! and Breanna guessed 58! I couldn't… Continue reading Sock Count (contest results) & another “misfire”
Christmas Catch-Up
(Maybe I should make a resolution to not title my posts with "catch up" I feel like a use that a lot!)First off, a big big Thank You! to Amy - she had a contest on her blog and while I didn't win, I was a close second! She sent me a great package!There's the… Continue reading Christmas Catch-Up
