I finished April's Personal Sock Club this week. The yarn, a purple / green self-striper from the now nonexistent Rainy Days & Wooly Dogs, is called "Sailor Pluto" but, I took to calling these my Vigorous Violets. The name is actually a nail polish I picked up when my niece, Violet, got to go home… Continue reading Vigorous Violets

Holding Steady
This week the WIP that held my attention the most is that of the Mighty Violet. My niece had her second open heart surgery in 6 months. She'll be 7 months old next week. I went up to wait out the day with her parents on Wednesday. It was super long day, and thankfully (fingers… Continue reading Holding Steady

I had some trouble getting the color right in the photo… Continue reading In Progress

Here's hoping this is the day when things turn around. The new school and work routines are still in progress. My WIPs are somewhat under control (after I wind up a lot more yarn today), and I've been finishing things too! First up is a project for my niece. I saw the pattern for these… Continue reading Teal and Violet
Acheivement Unlocked: Aunt Status!
I am super excited for this FO Friday as I can finally share a few items that have been under wraps for a while. My niece, Violet, made her arrival last weekend and she is just wonderful. Little Violet is surrounded by a great number of handcrafters - her crib has a beautiful quilt and… Continue reading Acheivement Unlocked: Aunt Status!
