I’m nearly finished with the back of my Saco Stripes tank for the TTTKAL going on this month. Though this looks like black and yellow in this pic, it’s actually yellow and navy. Since I had a bit different row gauge, I spaced out my decreases a little...

To all the mommas and their mommas and so on, Happy Mother’s Day! Becoming a mother to this little monkey has been a lovely, funny, challenging, rewarding, and heart-expanding experience. This morning while we were snuggling in bed after she got up I asked her...

I knitted as fast as I could, but I overestimated my ability to finish the Cocktail(Dress) in time to wear to a wedding this evening. Guess I’ll have to settle for this old thing instead. I added a little bit of length and made some mods. Even so, I had a...

My goal is to be able to wear this dress by next Saturday, so I’m trying my best to knit one ball of the Laines Du Nord Baby Milk (109 yards) per day, so I will have a spare day or two for finishing. So far, I’ve been close to meeting this goal. I think...

Ok, this baby has been done and even steam blocked for about a month now. I have no great excuses for not photographing and blogging about it. I probably won’t get any wear out of it this season, because this is a bit of a heavier weight than I anticipated. I...

Oh, spring weather has been lovely where I live lately! We got a bike trailer and have been taking Z for rides around town on our awesome bike trails. It’s been fantastic because I haven’t been on my bike so much since having Z, aside from the odd solo...

I fell in love with a little cardigan after seeing a beautiful example on my Instagram feed. It’s called the Peachick Eyes Cardigan. I decided I must embrace some startitis and cast it on for Z immediately. Luckily, I have plenty of sock yarn on hand, and...
