Since I’m, uh, one hour away from being THREE DAYS OVERDUE with this kiddo currently residing in my innards, I thought I’d take the opportunity to update Ye Olde Sparsely Updated Knitting Blog before it descends into several months of sleep-deprived radio silence in which there is milk splattered everywhere and little knitting to speak [...]
As part of ongoing new baby prep, my parents-in-law came down a couple weekends ago to help me empty out the wool room and get things ready to paint in there. As a result, I had a good opportunity to go through a bunch of stash and I’m working through some old yarns for [...]
So, I apparently only have time to update my blog every, um, several months. The shame, it burns me. So much has happened since I last posted I’m resorting to sub headers to keep everything straight(-ish).

I’m taking a well-deserved detour from the Blanket of Epic Waiting–it’s a quick little thing for the Lamb’s summer wardrobe. She has a bunch of cute little dresses that don’t have much coverage on top, so when I saw the Confection Baby Shrug while poking around on Ravelry, I cast on almost immediately. [...]
So, it would seem I’m going through a Minimalist Period in my fiber arts career. I’m working two projects right now, and they’re both undyed and plain:
The Waiting for Baby blanket continues, albeit very slowly as the only time I ever get to knit anything is 2 hours a week on Tuesday mornings, when I [...]
I’ve got almost half a bunny:
I LOVE this bunny. I’m making it for someone else, but I’m glad I bought enough yarn to make one for my own baby as well. I really like working with Lamb’s Pride Bulky. I’m using #9 needles and I’m enthused about the dense/sturdy results. [...]
