I’ve got many friends out there having little ones suddenly. Evelyn came into the world in early June followed by Thomas in early July and Anna just last week. There’s two more due next month! So I’ve been busy (in between Detonators for the Sock Wars) making wee things. I’ve decided to branch out a [...]

I’m still waiting for my next socks to arrive (and apparently I have a lot of work to do on them as my last target said she’s still on the first one). So Fran (who commented down below), you will be waiting atleast another week. Get crackin’ on your knitting!!!
In the meantime I’ve [...]

I’ve sent out my second pair of Detinators. Whew!! Some poor girl in Washington state is out of the game as of Friday. I did get a break on this one- I received the pair with one sock done. Here is the finished pair, in it’s full glory! I think our guage is slightly [...]

I’ve sent my first sock wars socks! Actually, I sent them a week ago, they’ve been received and the pair I have to complete has arrived at my house already. I’m a bit late in posting. It’s pretty exciting, overall. As of yesterday, over 400 people have been eliminated from the contest, and I am [...]

Here’s another cute FO. It’s a design based on the Crankypants “Monster Booty” using a variation on Alison Hansel’s baby bell bottoms. Though it’s not an exact match, I think they turned out really cute!
Project Specs: Baby Bell Bottoms with out the bells (I started the leg with the number of stitches required [...]

Yowee, wowee! The Sock War starts today!! I think I am ready, with all but uninterrupted knitting time. The pattern is supposed to be released any time now, so when the kids go to sleep, I’m casting on! I’m hoping to have these done in a week or so, and to at least make it [...]

No, not in theaters near you, but definitely in your county, if not your own town…
SOCK WARS III
I read about this last year- just caught the tail end and figured I’d never be able to play, but I have just signed up for the “bloodiest” knitting contest ever. The motto is “Kill or be [...]

I’ve got more FO’s!! I’m just so efficient… Must be because I’ve stopped doing large, complex projects. Guess I gotta pick those up again soon. Anyway, I finally finished Nate’s Christmas socks! Finally. I’d been slacking on them, but I grafted the toe last Monday night. [...]

Nothing bad, promise!
Just that my wee boy is eating cereal…
…and loving it! He is thrilled when I make him a bowl and will down it in seconds flat. I don’t think he even fully swallows a bite before his mouth is open and he’s grabbing my hand to get the spoon in his mouth. [...]

Ahhh, another FO. And I looove it! I started this sweater before B was born, thinking it would be a cute, easy project. I didn’t love the yarn. I didn’t love the pattern. BUT, since I’d bought it (and only enough for the 0-3 and 3-6 month sizes), I started again with much more success. [...]
