Spring Lace

First I want to thank you all for the nice comments, emails, and tweets about my new website. I’m still adding some pictures to it and tweaking it a little but I’m really excited about it.
I have several finished items that I’ve neglected to share on the blog.  I keep wearing them and forgetting to [...]

You do not know how happy it makes me to be done with this sweater!
It started about 2 years ago with Mike picking out his yarn, and hours spent finding The Right Pattern.  He settled on the Spartan Pullover from IK, but wanted it to be a cardigan and the design at the bottom to [...]

The Final Two

Here they are- my last two finished projects of 2008!  I started the mittens when all the snow was still on the ground and Mike complained of not having any mittens.  (Note that my kid cried because her hands were cold and she still does not have mittens.  Again- What is wrong with me?!)  I [...]

The pattern is below but I’ve also made [...]

It’s 9pm and my baby is still awake. This is not good, people. Not good at all.

Do you know what is good? Baby socks. They’re little and cute, super fast to knit and they use up those little balls of leftover sock yarn that never seem to go away. I [...]

Since I first blogged about the tank hat I made for Mike last year, I have had several requests for the chart.

I’ve put together a pdf with the chart that you can download here. If you make something with a tank on it, please share a picture with me!
Mike wears the hat a [...]

My Pretties

I have two knitting projects to share! First, I finished my spiral scarf a while ago but have been hesitant to blog about it. The dilemma is that I love it a lot but I can’t wear it!

It makes my neck itch and get red splotches. It’s superwash wool and I dyed [...]
