I already know I'm going to want to spotlight the kid's Halloween costumes on Friday (they are very awesome FOs, even if they are not knit) so I figure that today I'll share a bit about my weekend, which does include knitting projects! Saturday was the end of this session of swim lessons. I am… Continue reading Weekending

Decisions on WIP Wednesday
Here's my pleasant pile of projects and what I'm perusing. I'm on the button-hole band of my Morning Coffee and I've hit a wall (it's all mostly mental). Part one: The buttons are still to be determined! I bought a set at the CT Sheep and Wool this spring, but a) I don't absolutely love… Continue reading Decisions on WIP Wednesday
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
FO Friday – A bit of brain mush
Happy Friday! I'm so glad that I can finally share a few projects. Life has been a bit hectic lately and today my brain is just mush. So I am going to jump in with sharing my projects! I have seriously been bitten by the crochet bug and I love it. I wanted to make… Continue reading FO Friday – A bit of brain mush
FO Friday – a peek
Oh the cuteness, I can barely stand it! Last night at SnB I practiced my crochet skills on this wee little baby toy. It's adorable, and was quick and easy to make, but I'm not 100% happy with it - maybe only 98%! I will be adjusting a few things when I make it again… Continue reading FO Friday – a peek
Green!
Today is another weather day. Nothing major, just rain for my area, but it is so very grey. And drippy. It feels like forever since we have seen the grass, so I made my own using the Grass pattern from mochimochiland.com.For now, the grass sat with my jade plant looking longingly out at our snow… Continue reading Green!
A little birdie
Each week, the Lorax and I attend a "Mommy & Me" sort of class. We started going when she was 8 weeks old or so - it was a great resource as a first time mom. As the Lorax grew, we made our way from the baby class to the waddlers group and now we're… Continue reading A little birdie
Bird break.
Between finishing my sweater, gearing up for some junk tv and marathon knitting sessions this weekend, and trying to decide on a pattern / yarn for an upcoming "Shawl-ALong" with my local SnB, I needed a break. I spotted the Perching Pigeons pattern over at Mochimochiland.com and I could not stop thinking about them. I… Continue reading Bird break.
Crossing off that List (still checking it twice)
Yesterday was my mom's birthday, so we had my parents over for dinner. Works out well for us - the Lorax is in her own space, I've got some go-to / reliable recipes, and my mom gets treated 🙂 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)
Distractions
Lately I've been distracted by other things than what's on my needles - I'm enjoying working on my bat shawl and on my Trellis and Vine sweater, but I'm heeding the call of other projects. Exhibit 1 - I can crochet! Is this the dark side? I can do a basic chain, single crochet and… Continue reading Distractions
