I started Clapotis, ubiquitous in the blog world, but nevertheless something I desired. I was thoroughly in love with the yarn and this project until I started the second ball. Can you see the color difference? It’s driving me nuts. I could tell that the ball on...

I’m definitely dragging a bit on the second version of this pattern. I ended up giving the first pair to my brother’s girlfriend because they fit her better than me and she really liked them. They just moved back to Minnesota, so I know they’ll be...

Oscar is learning to play the organ. Meanwhile, I have little knitting progress because I’ve had some personal crises going on. My boyfriend, Drew, was hit by a drunk driver while on his scooter yesterday. He’s totally fine. Just a few scrapes. The guy who...

Lady February doth grow, originally uploaded by casystotyle. Yep. Too lazy to clean the mirror. This is closer to the actual color. It’s not as yellow as it looks in the first picture. It’s going pretty well at the smaller gauge. I think it will block the...

Oh, Lady February, how I love thee, originally uploaded by casystotyle. Here is my February Lady. I just want to call her Lady February because it sounds so regal. I thought about a semi-solid yarn, but then found this Berroco Ultra Alpaca, liked the feel and the...

Knitting therapy, originally uploaded by casystotyle. This is Bosco. Doggie extraordinaire that belongs to Drew’s parents. He is very intelligent and darn cute too. I am getting my master’s in counseling and lately I have been thinking about how I will...
