Hello, world!
Go figure, it’s been a while. My son is nearly a year old now and I’m beginning to wonder if any of the insane chaos that is parenting two babies born 15 months apart will ever settle into something resembling normalcy. We have a blast, these kids and I, [...]
My friend Gordon came over my house today and brought me a giant wedge of chocolate cake. Definitely a very welcome gift at 8 months pregnant! Not only did he come bearing carbs; he was also wearing one of the first things I’d ever knit! It’s a giant garter stitch scarf in [...]
Happy Vestvember (Observed)! I finished my husband’s new sweater vest on January 19th, and finally got to snag a couple pictures of him wearing it this morning:
Here’s one more picture of him playing with our daughter this morning, who also happened to be sporting a handknit sweater:
Gotta love a well-dressed family!
The pattern is Alberta [...]
Hello, Intertubes. It’s been a while. What’s been going on, you ask?
The knitting front hasn’t been nearly as productive as I’d like. Babywrangling has kept me very busy this summer. However, I managed to not fall asleep immediately upon getting the kiddo to bed enough times to finish my [...]
Hey, I finished knitting something! This almost never happens!
It’s the Confection Baby Shrug, although I did some number crunching in order to knit this up with Cascade 220 Superwash, which is a much finer gauge of yarn than the pattern calls for. I’m really glad I took the time to do the math, [...]
I knit these about a month before my wedding a couple years ago. The yarn was Yemalia and Carnival Curio from Liz Stottlemyer.
I didn’t use a pattern, and actually, it’s been so long now that I’m not quite sure exactly how I made them. I remember I did a sort of exaggerated garter [...]
I was moving my Feedburner.com account over to my account on the digital oversoul today (Feedburner is Dead. Long Live Feedburner.) when I noticed that there are 7 (SEVEN!) subscribers to my RSS feed. SEVEN!
I am tickled magenta about this whole having-an-audience thing, as I have previously operated under the assumption that there is absolutely [...]
The Lamb was born on October 23, at 9:04 pm, weighing in at 7lbs 12.5oz, and measuring 19 inches long.
She’s utterly perfect. We are completely agog.
In baby knitting news, we realized when we got her home that all her hats were too small for her wee newborn head, so we made her [...]
So, I’ve finished two wool soakers for Impending Baby:
They’re both knit from the Curly Purly Soaker Pattern, which I’ve been pretty happy with using. I did the first one in purple Malabrigo, and the second one in some handspun Blueface Leicester. I went back and embellished the first one because I thought it was a [...]
