I’m Knit­ting! I’m actu­ally mak­ing some­thing that will amount to some­thing larger than a dish­cloth, but with more shape than a scarf!! The first ques­tion is… what? I found this cute pat­tern, it looked easy enough — didn’t require cir­cu­lar nee­dles, and I have the size it DOES call for.  I’ve been want­ing to make a […]

Yay! I’ve just fin­ished up my old­est DD’s tank top. DH says it’s too wide, so I see some alter­ing in my future, but she loves it! She loves the color — which is awe­some, since she is the one that picked it out. She loves how it feels against her skin (Another Yay!) I’ll be starting […]

I’ve got pic­tures! Yay — I finally snapped and uploaded the slip­per pic­tures. winter05/Dsc00006 winter05/Dsc00007 winter05/Dsc00032 I’m cur­rently work­ing on this bag, and will start on this one ASAP! I’m look­ing for a project bag, since the one I cur­rently use is too small for much of any­thing. I think I need some­thing that holds […]

T has just whipped out a shawl for his grand­mother. I can safely guessti­mate that it took him roughly 5 hours from start to fin­ish! I’m not sure pic­ture picks up the detail, but it’s very pretty! He’s started on his aunt’s gift: a pon­cho! He needs a yarn run!!! He’s shop­ping out of my […]

T and I are work­ing on ghans! Pics are click­able. Here’s his: Here’s mine: I squeezed this ghan into my to-do list. My Step­Daugh­ter is expect­ing, and I thought she’d like some­thing hand­made for her baby. She doesn’t know the gen­der, but she’s call­ing it “she”… mainly because she has 2 boys and *really* wants […]

T is offi­cially cro­chet­ing! Yup yup — he made two prac­tice squares that we’ve lov­ingly dubbed, “Thing One” & “Thing Two” may05/turner_with_things_one_and_two He’s work­ing on a sim­ple sin­gle cro­chet scarf. He’s so proud, as am I! I think he’s really got the bug! Now, soon, he’ll have to have his own yarn stash! cuz mommy […]

I was so excited to try the hal­ter on R this morn­ing, but I didn’t know I was going to have to fight with her. I finally got it on her with lots of “Oh, you’re so pretty. Mommy made you a really pretty shirt with cro­chet!“ But she wasn’t going to allow a camera […]

That’s right — square num­ber four is done!!! I used pas­tels and a vin­tage var­ie­gated yarn for this one. I used this pat­tern, which may be hard to make out on my ver­sion, due to the light col­ors, but I know what it is! This square rep­re­sents babies that my hus­band and I have lost. They’re […]

Wowee wowee! I’ve fin­ished num­ber 3!!! This is sup­posed to be for my step­son. I was aim­ing to make it more mas­cu­line. Did I deliver? Oh, if it looks dis­col­ored in places, it’s because the square is wet. This square started out with a pat­tern, but at round 8, I got con­fused, (hint: this hap­pens often with […]

Yee­haw! Now, I’d love to tell you the name of the pat­tern, but I can’t — because I started off with a real pat­tern, got con­fused about halfway through and just winged it from there! I can say that the orig­i­nal pat­tern can be found here. Here’s a pic: I’m now a week ahead of the […]
