Can you see my mistake? I posted this on Instagram (I’m knitten) and it wasn’t immediately obvious to some, but I’ve been staring these cables down for about 10 inches, so it glared at me. The top cable isn’t crossed. Oy. I frogged an entire...

Z is one year old today. Technically, last year she was still inside of me at this point, and for about another 9 hours, but here we are. I can’t believe time has passed so quickly. She brings so much joy and love and fun and happiness into our daily lives. I am...

I recently sorted my Ravelry projects to show the WIPs (works in progress) at the top. I have a few things hanging out with that designation. Hi, Birthday Socks for Matt. It’s nice to see you again. I’ve been making some significant progress on them in the...

Did you want to see a finished summer top? Oh, ok. Well here you go! My Kit Camisole is finished and I looooooooove it. It’s funny that the weather has been rainy and mid to low 70’s Fahrenheit lately. It’s altogether pleasant and makes me want to...

I’m loving Beatnik so far for the SSKAL. The cables are definitely keeping me on my toes. I have the chart on one side and the definitions for the abbreviations on the other. I highly recommend the color coded version put together by Knitty editors. It helps to...

I don’t know if I’ve ever participated in an organized KAL (knit-a-long), but I’m going to participate in this one. It’s all about making sweaters in the summer, so that when the cold season hits, you can wear them. Makes sense. We’ll see...

I finished a little baby dress for Z. It’s made out of Euroflax sport. I had leftovers from Kit and Liesl, so I made a dress that complimented the styling of Kit, without being too matchy matchy. It needs a name. I will be writing up the pattern very soon. It...

I really meant to have a finished pic of Kit up today, but somehow the weekend disappeared too quickly and that didn’t happen. I’ve worn it twice since blocking it last week. It’s comfortable and I love it. It seems like it will wear well with jeans,...

I got a lovely little skein of yarn for my birthday from my friend Kathleen. It’s gorgeous and delicious. Of course, it’s merino/cashmere/silk…so why wouldn’t it be? It’s from an indie dyer, Vice Yarns. The color is Corpses Christi and...

I’m 32 today. It’s been a great birthday so far. I got to have a date night with my lovely husband last night, and I’m about to go to brunch in a few minutes. Since brunch is my favorite kind of meal, that feels pretty spectacular. As for my...
