From small thingsTwo of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on… Continue reading Yarn Along – July 13

All Wound Up.
I think that's what I'm going to call my Swirl Shawl. The other night I was working on it and we had a heated, one-sided discussion. There was some cursing. Stitches were twisted and the yarn ball was had to be birthed out the center of the dpns. Let’s just say it was enough muttering… Continue reading All Wound Up.
Lazy speed
We enjoyed one of the laziest weekends ever, and somehow it flew by! On Saturday we tried taking the Lorax to a kids fair in town put on by a local nursery school. It was ok - next year I think it will be fabulous. She was a bit tired (she's been getting up with… Continue reading Lazy speed
Covered.
My sweater is making progress - as of a week ago it was here:(excuse the iphone claw hand). In the last week I have finished the body of the sweater, right down the to the bottom cable and lace patterning and even bound off! The sleeves await me now - I need to go dig… Continue reading Covered.
Mama’s Midriff.
Way back in '09 I signed up for a SweaterKAL with several of the gals from SnB. Then in the early days of '10 I think I have signed up for TheSweatshopOfLove's Sweater a Month Challenge, because yes, I think I can do more than is humanly possible (I will refrain, partially, from telling you… Continue reading Mama’s Midriff.
Belated.
Hello November! I had grand ideas of trying to do the blog post a day like some people I know (and admire them for doing it!) or even a daily gratitude entry for the month of November. But, all of a sudden it's midweek and I finally have my thoughts together (and some time) to… Continue reading Belated.
These are my confessions… (Picture Heavy)
No Glee this week (isn't baseball over yet?) - but I found this clip, which I love...[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pSliGnEJCg&hl=en&fs=1&]In a recent rearranging of some furniture I found a bag of unfinished projects. Hoo-boy. Some of these are really, "What Was I thinking?" (in my head it's Christine Lavin - video link). And, "Why aren't the ball… Continue reading These are my confessions… (Picture Heavy)
It’s in the bag.
I pulled out the knitting project bags that usually sit near my computer the other day in an attempt to neaten up that space. I found lots of needles and yarn that needed to be put away. And, no surprise, I got a reality check on how many WIPs I've got going on right now.… Continue reading It’s in the bag.
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
Bits of Stuff (there’s knitting this time!)
The weather has turned nice, and then WAY too hot, and now it's back to nice again. I introduced Lorelai to the sprinkler to give her a good soaking (maybe not the best mom move ever - she's been a bit under the weather this week, running warm, but not feverish - sure, let's get… Continue reading Bits of Stuff (there’s knitting this time!)
