Gosh–I’ve been in a high productivity mode lately.   Must be the new organizational system.  I LOVE the new organizational system and I’ve added to it.  So in addition to the stockings that I need to get cracking on, Sparky has another colleague with a new baby girl who needs booties, and I’ve picked up another […]

I’ve been a little uninspired lately.  Not completely sure why.  It’s Spring and the days vary between gorgeous and sunny and gorgeously stormy.  My baby has become a toddler.  The Sparkle Girl has started walking/running and getting into everything.  I swear that her arms telescope out to be much longer than it seems physically possible.  […]

I made a really cute keyhole scarf for H out of the leftover Koigu from SIL’s booties.  It looks really cute on and she mostly left it alone when I had it on her today.  She got it off once but it wasn’t a disaster.

Also managed to enter ALL my stash on my Ravelry account.  […]

It’s been a little while since the last post, but that doesn’t mean that my fingers have been idle~  I’ve been working on a sweet little dress from Twist Collective called the Little Liza Jane dress.  I’m making it in 3T in a color called Peacock.  It’s nearly done so I’ll post a pic and […]

I love making this pattern.  After three or four tries I think I’ve finally gotten a handle on the structure of the garment so that I can make changes to it.  Elizabeth Zimmerman was a complete and total freaking genius!  I mean, she figured out how to knit this thing flat with increases and decreases […]

Has it really, truly been more than two weeks since I’ve posted?  Has it really been more than two weeks since I’ve touched my knitting needles?  Has all of this crazy stuff outlined below happened in a two-week period?

I half-heartedly started a pair of booties.  But just am not motivated to finish them.  Maybe it’s […]

Gosh– so much to write about today.  Writing the blog is definitely encouraging me to ramp up my knitting and keep better track of everything.

So–finished the oh-so-adorable baby poncho~  I hope to goodness it fits since I made it with no pattern.  I think it’ll work fine–if nothing else she can use it for doll […]

When I was digging through the stash in the giant bin in the storage unit I found some really soft microfiber in lime green.  Where did it come from?  I have no idea.  I don’t remember buying it.   Maybe my mom sent it as part of a bunch of yarn from a yard sale?  It […]

I finally finished the girls’ fuzzy purses for Christmas.  We’re going to fill them with candy, baubles, and whatever is cute at the dollar store.  I think they’ll love them–I would have at their ages.  The pink one is going to the 5 year old since her capacity for high drama is so much higher […]

I’m on the email list for Artfibers in SF.  This is a really cool boutique yarn store–all their yarn is spun and dyed specifically for them and I’ve unloaded a lot of cash there over the years.  When I lived there I used to go visit the yarn on my lunch break and found some […]
