Mittens to Zoe

So, long story sideways, two days into the Olympics, I changed my Knitting Olympics project. The mittens will still happen, but not in that deadline. I have too many modifications to make.

I switched to something doable in the time left: Zoe. I used to wear scarves/bandannas this way all the time, and I’d love a [...]

Ferret Sweater Pattern

I come bearing patterns. A pattern for a cute little ferret sweater. :D

Palom, my adorable, huge boy in the photos, was kind enough to model the sweater for me. In fact, he’s still wearing the Noro one. And napping. He loves his sweater.

I made two, a blue stripey one and one from leftover Noro sock. [...]

Getting started

Death to sleep. Who needs it? Not I, I say.

We’re finally moved in to our new, beautiful home.  there are boxes everywhere, as well as things-not-in-boxes. It’s mess, untidy and I cannot for the life of me find the charger for my cell phone that’s been dead for four days, but we’re here, and that’s [...]

I’ve been working on creating my own [...]

Mind concoctions

Jack’s blanket is sure to have arrived. I’ll need to call the sibling and find out.

In the meantime, knitting has been a bit slow, but on the uprise. Between beating illnesses and getting some profitable freelance work done, the time for knitting has been narrowed to movie-watching. Luckily, that was the Christmas gift of the [...]

Jack’s Beanstalk Blanket

Whew! Hello, blog. I had actually meant to update this ages ago, but WordPress was giving me a headache with my login. It has been fixed.

What’s been going on? Well, this is Jack.

Jack was born on December 7th, 2007 at about 3:00pm. My brother called me to announce him at about 4:00pm. Not a word [...]

Of Socks, Fleece, and Highwaymen

Goodness! Why do I not update here more often. I wind up with a million things to write about.

Firstly, how about a new sock.

This is a Jaywalker (natch) knit in Regia Canyon Color, in the Beach colorway. The RPM aren’t done yet. I enjoy switching up my socks a little so the monotony isn’t there [...]
