I've finished some things and made progress on others: From Itty-Bitty Hats, the Upside-Down Daisy hat. It's the 0-6 month size, and it fits, but is just a little bit snug. It's a cute hat though and gets lots of attention when we're out. A good hat for spring I think. Jackson is still a… Continue reading Spring Knits

Come out come out wherever you are!
There has been an influx of yarns lately. After the "learn to spin" class on Tuesday, I bought several things because on Monday Lorelai and I left the SnB early. So, Regia bamboo, and panda silk, welcome to your new home. Today the wee one and I went to "Madison Wool" to spend the gift… Continue reading Come out come out wherever you are!
More malabrigo & FO
Today I gave my Tudora a real-world wear - successful! It was just right to block the gap between my jacket and neck from the wind. So so so warm! Yay for wearing handknits! I have decided to try and milk my malabrigo that was leftover from Tudora to make an "Amanda Hat" - and… Continue reading More malabrigo & FO
Dress your family in Malabrigo

"Emerald" Malabrigo, size 7 needles, and two days (though if I had put all my time / energy into it, it could have been a one night project, but I did… Continue reading Dress your family in Malabrigo
Startitis attacks
Why? Why did I just wind up the yarn for 4 projects? I've got that many projects on the needles already!! Because I am insane, apparently. Can I blame that on baby brain? Because it is also insane to think that I can actually get good knitting time in 🙂 Not that I mind too… Continue reading Startitis attacks
Swatches & Socks & “Sweats” oh my!
A few days later than I intended, but that's life. I finished my "Lenore" socks! 10 days, baby! How wonderful is that? I'm so glad that I stuck with it past the fiddly purls and yarn-overs in the beginning part of the lace pattern. This was also my first time to knit with Blue Moon… Continue reading Swatches & Socks & “Sweats” oh my!
Mish Mosh
A moment for myself while I eat breakfast, enjoy a cup of coffee, and avoid my daily "to-do" list. Gathering my thoughts...Knitting - I'm so close to finishing Lorelai's baby blanket! I'm on the seed stitch border right now, just a few more rows. It's made with Blue Sky Organic Cotton in a great green… Continue reading Mish Mosh
Knitting. Seriously.
Playing catch-up here. Aside from a wee bit of embroidery and possibly adding the edging, I'm calling this hat done - Football Hat from "Itty Bitty Knitting" (Just got "Itty Bitty Nursery" so cute!)Go Jets!I had previously found on the web, but didn't bookmark, a tip / hint about knitting an edge instead of the… Continue reading Knitting.

Week in review
The nutshell version is that I continue to be somewhat distracted. Startitis of projects. Trying to clean up one room so that we can make a different room into the baby's room. Makes the week go by quite quickly that's for sure. Monday I went to a SnB which was very cool. It was nice… Continue reading Week in review
Yadda Yadda Yadda
There really isn't too much thrilling to post about, so heads up - this is a mundane post. 1)In my love of reality shows I have found a lost love of my childhood! The Coreys - it's a reunion of sorts between Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. I had the biggest crush on Corey Haim… Continue reading Yadda Yadda Yadda
