And it's not crochet! Last night at SnB I whipped up a little Butterfly Ring - I had grand visions of all the cool butterflies I would make with my leftover sock yarns. I made one. It is a very quick project (like I said, I was at knitting - it took maybe 30 -… Continue reading A few little things

Today I found myself with a little bit of free time. The Lorax went to spend time with her grandmother as I was supposed to have a meeting but it ended up being canceled. I took full advantage to head out for some toddler-free shopping time*. I visited a local consignment shop just to see… Continue reading Good finds.

This is mostly random and probably catches my attention only, but I'm noticing a whole bunch of similarities in things I'm knitting lately. To start, I've got 2 projects that I can't really show until after TNNA happens. Each of these projects involve new colors and a similar linen stitch pattern. One for Lorna's Laces… Continue reading I’m sensing a pattern here.

I mentioned in an earlier post that long before I knit, I used to play with knots. I made friendship bracelets constantly - much like knitting, it was a fairly portable project, there are lots of colors and styles to choose from and the end result looks so neat! Have you heard? Amy, of the… Continue reading Friendship Bracelets!

I happened upon a thrift shop last week that has a somewhat organized craft section! I will be making a trip back there in a few weeks or so, just to see what else might turn up. I am intrigued by buttons lately - even without a specific project in mind. Now I've got some… Continue reading Buttons

This weekend, though gorgeous in weather, was spent snuggling with a sick little Lorax. She woke up on Saturday morning having thrown up at some point in the night / early morning. We got her showered and cleaned up and there was more vomit. Same story that afternoon too. Sunday morning too. It's been a… Continue reading Blurp.

Saturday was a perfect day for being outside - I headed out to the CT Sheep & Wool Festival. I set out with a plan to indulge in some lace, find some buttons for a sweater in progress and maybe one or two other special things. I lucked out and got exactly that! It was… Continue reading Local Win! Take 2!

I knit a hat and I was trying to take a good photo. I think I found a good combination of a particular wine bottle and an empty sugar bowl - together it fills out the hat and then gets it up off the table. Today, trying to take a photo of the hat and… Continue reading Misbehavin’ Model.

Fair warning, there's no knitting in this post. It's about books I finished in the last month or so. I recently came across an interesting website, BookSneeze. Cute slogan. I signed up because even though most of my free time where I could be reading is usually spent knitting, I do enjoy new books and… Continue reading A Tale of Two Books.
