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.  […]

Now that it is getting chilly and wet here in the Pacific NW the fact that this kid can’t keep socks on has become a bit of a problem.  I got her some shoes, but somehow she gets those off too.  So I made some booties for her.  Instead of ten stitches across the sole […]

Thanks to Libby for modeling the Little Liza Jane dress for me.  It looks adorable on her and she didn’t want to take it off.  Her mom says she’s a perfect 4 T so I feel confident that H will be able to wear it for a while.  Of course, I tried to take pics […]

I finally finished the Little Liza Jane dress from Twist Collective (designer Alison Green Will).  It’s a darling dress and I used the recommended yarn–Elann Callista, which is 50% viscose rayon, 25% cotton, 25% linen.  It’s got a nice feel to it from the rayon but has the sturdiness of cotton without the stiffness.  I […]

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 […]

Saturday night my lovely friend Mary hosted a baby shower for me.  It was a lot of fun, good food, party games, and great advice.

My friend Peg made me a really sweet baby sweater.  It’s a Elizabeth Zimmerman pattern and can adjust to fit the baby as she grows.  It’s a nice Merino wool and […]

Where to start?  I suppose with follow-up from the last post.

I finally loaded pictures of the heirloom baby blankets.  I feel so blessed that we have these for our little girl.

    This is the blanket my DH’s aunt crocheted for him when he was a baby.  We picked it up this past weekend […]
