I whipped these out in record time, taking less than 24 hours to make the second one. They don’t entail a lot of knitting, but that’s still fast for me.
Too bad I was so busy IMing Little Wit about how I was going to finish these socks today and how awesome I am to pay [...]

If you’ll recall, last summer my MIL surprised me with a sewing machine of my very own. I had been using my sister’s and while she wasn’t in a big hurry to get it back, she was showing some interest in learning how to use it, when I was done.
I’ve been having…issues with the machine. [...]

So, this isn’t really a knitting blog, but I feel a lot of pent up posts coming on and none of them are particularly cheery. And I was thinking that while I’ve been moping and stewing and worrying these past couple of months, I’ve also been knitting. A lot. For Christmas mostly but here’s a [...]

Holiday gift-making is in full swing here and I got a head start with gifts for our niece and nephew, who visit for Thanksgiving every year. We’ve gotten in the nice habit of having Christmas on Thanksgiving, and for our princess M, I made this:
Instructions can be found here. I didn’t think the ribbon would [...]

Through some cruel trick of scheduling, MD’s work schedule was changed to 2nd shift last week. And he’s working 6 days a week, with a 12 hour shift on Sunday. So the same week we lost daylight, I lost my adult backup. Totally not fair! (We just keep reminding ourselves of the overtime pay.)
I’ve been [...]

A little bit. It only took me…NINE MONTHS to make this. It started out as a birthday present. For Jamie’s third birthday. Last October. Then it was going to be for Christmas, then Valentine’s Day, then I gave up and figured I’d get it done eventually.
Thank GOODNESS it’s really big.
We’ve entered into full cheesy fake [...]

My friend D told me at first glance, this post scared her, because she thought I had succumbed to the urge to dress up Jamie’s Mr. Potato head in hand-crocheted duds. So she was relieved to read that in fact I am making preemie hats for the Ravelry group Knitters for Obama’s primary preemie hat [...]

It’s been, what 3 weeks since MD started his new job. (SIDENOTE: Where the HELL did March go?) Jamie’s adjusting to full time daycare ok, but by the end of the week he’s a pill and this morning he asked me repeatedly to stay home today. Some days he throws an unholy fit when MD [...]

A few weeks ago in church my friend D was performing her usual Sunday routine. After her daughter L leaves the sanctuary to go to children’s church, D goes through her “mini methodist doodle pad” and pulls out her pictures to take home. She showed me this one, and I couldn’t help myself. “Give me [...]

I made these for my program coordinator because I wanted something special that would convey just how much I appreciate her. And if there’s anything to get me off my orange kick, this is it. I’ve always loved blue and silver together (they were our wedding colors, in fact) and now I want to [...]
