Who’s ready for winter to be over?! I’m starting to feel delighted by the signs of spring. I have been pleasantly distracted from knitting the past couple of weeks by moving to a new (and much more delightful) office for my therapy practice, and last weekend by...

This sweater if for my baby niece, Rosalie, up in the frozen tundra (not quite) of Minnesota. I was lax on making her a sweater by Christmas, so on Valentine’s Day I conjured up the idea for this one and set to work. I couldn’t find exactly the kind of...

I’m thrilled to finally show this sweater on the blog. It’s been through a bit of a journey. My call to adventure came from Matt’s polite and persistent desire for a fingering weight sweater in navy. At first I was reluctant to this call, but it was...

The Endpaper Mitts are finished and have been handed off to Zooey’s kindergarten teacher. I didn’t get to see her open them, so I’m just hoping she enjoys them! I’m glad to have them done. When I put my concentration on finishing the second one...

In the rush to get the second Endpaper Mitt done I totally forgot some socks I started in mid December when I was at the coolest psychotherapy conference ever. This yarn is the color Biker Chick in the Estrellita base from Miss Babs Yarns. The color was haunting my...

It feels like forever since I’ve blogged, even though it’s really only been about 11 days. The anxiety creeps up and I realize I’ve said nothing about knitting on the internet and must say something immediately. Here’s my proof of knitting in...
