Yesterday, I finished a Sock Monkey. Don’t you just love the bows on her ears? While I love the finished product, I did not love the process as much. I don’t know why, but the whole thing seemed fiddly, tedious, and n0t at all portable like a good pair of socks usually turns out to [...]

Ick…
Posted in baby stuff, Life, Monkey, Musings on April 10, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Monkey appears to like my favorite silk scarf almost as much as I do. However, she found a new, and strangely icky way in which to love it. She did this over and over for about an hour until I tried to take it away. Anyone know how to get boogers out of a silk [...]
Shocking, Indeed

Well, I finally have a FO to show you. Even Bunny is shocked… As I mentioned in my previous post, these were finished while I was recovering from the eye surgery and I finally had a willing model (or two) and some time for photos. Mind you, getting the photos was another project in itself [...]
On Progress
Posted in baby stuff, project photos, Socks on January 24, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I have been chugging right along on the stripe-y socks. I have to admit, I was really, truly surprised at just how much yarndage is contained in one little skein of Lorna’s Laces sock. I started a pair of size 6 socks in the last few days left in December and this is how far [...]
Picked Pants

Well, I haven’t made much progress on the stripe-y socks because I cast on for something new. This is the start of a pair of Picky Pants by Little Turtle Knits. I must say, this is one of the most well written and thought out patterns that I have ever had the joy of working [...]
This Morning…
Posted in baby stuff, contests, FO's, Life, Monkey, Musings, project photos, yarn stuffs on December 6, 2008 | 8 Comments »
I woke up ready to try it again. Like anything was possible again. Last week was super rough. Seems like there is enough of this feeling going around right now. People seem kind of broken. Maybe it’s the holidays. Doesn’t it seem like, as an adult, it’s Xmas all the time? Really. In knitting news, [...]
And, This is the Saddest Part
Posted in baby stuff, Bunny, Life, Monkey on September 24, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I am sick. Running a fever, coughing, runny nose sick. The saddest part? That being home sick today was the first full day that I have had all to myself in more than a month. I ate soup, drank tea, watched movies, slept a lot, knit a little, and spent the day in my jammies. It’s crazy [...]
Ravelympics

I finished the second of the five projects that I entered into the Ravelympics. Remember this WIP from last year? Yarn: Misti Pima Cotton Silk in Eggplant, Green, Blue, and Cream. I think I used about 2 skeins each (this stuff has fabulous yardage) to make this crib size. Needles: US 7 Denise [...]
Birthday Girl Bounce

Someone had a birthday today. Two someones actually. We had a Mega Bounce House. We had presents. And we had cake. Good fun was had by all. In other news, I finished the first Cleopatra Stocking. Are you wondering what the white tail is sticking out? That’s a [...]
Bitten by the Spring Bug
Posted in baby stuff, Bunny, FO's, project photos, Socks on February 27, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Yesterday something came over me (really, I think it must be the lack of sleep) and Bunny and I baked cookies for three hours. I. Don’t. Bake. Ever. Most days I am simply content to look at the flour, sugar, spices, and evaporated milk stuffs, as things that one should have on hand during an emergency, [...]
