Still waiting on the extra ball of yarn to finish the Big Blue Sweater. Seems as though I may be able to get my hands on one this weekend as someone I know offered to return one to my LYS as she had extra. I teach there every Sunday, so I should have the sweater [...]

Something I Pondered
Posted in Bunny, Monkey, Musings, Socks on March 2, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Two things happened this week, which made me ponder both just how lucky I was to stumble over the whole knitting thing and just how unlucky I was that no one of significance in my life taught me how to knit. See, over the weekend, as part of my job (I am so darned fortunate [...]
Shocking, Indeed
Posted in baby stuff, Bunny, FO's, Monkey, project photos on February 13, 2009 | 2 Comments »
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 [...]
Picked Pants
Posted in baby stuff, Monkey, new projects, project photos on January 21, 2009 | 2 Comments »
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 [...]
Obligatory Xmas Post
Posted in Bunny, Life, Monkey, new yarn on December 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Well, another Xmas has come and gone. Much fun was had by all. Bunny got so many presents, she forgot to open two of them. No kidding! Grandma and I found them later on that night and just about peed our pants laughing. No surprise that Bunny was super thrilled the next morning when she [...]
Winner, Winner… Chicken Dinner.

The winner of the skein of yarn is Debbie! The correct number was actually 68. Yup, 68 ends to weave in, all at the end! So tedious, but totally worth it when I cover Monkey up at night and know that she will at least be snuggly warm for the next 39 seconds or so… until [...]
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, [...]
Gearing up for the BIG Day

The pink mystery thing is starting to take shape. It should now be patently obvious that it is a Sock Monkey a la Blue Moon. This is one of the two kits that I picked up at Rhinebeck and I am trying to get all sock monkeys finished for Christmas for the small people in [...]
Rhinebeck Revisited
Posted in Book Review, Bunny, Life, Monkey, new projects, new yarn, Rhinebeck, Travel on November 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Have you seen this? Pure genius! I bought this at Rhinebeck because I loved the colors and thought that the intarsia strip that is designed to run down the center of the sock was interesting. Little did I know I had so much more to be excited about. The kit, designed by the Tsarina of [...]
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 [...]
