I only had one thing planned to knit for Christmas presents, fingerless gloves for C1′s teacher, but then I found another gift for her that I thought would be great. That means I don’t have any holiday knitting left to do but I do have a holiday break coming up, so I’ve been planning what [...]

Pepo Pie Progress

How’s that for a little alliteration Last night I made it to the arm holes on C1′s Pepo Pie. I’m so glad I made his first, as C2′s should fly after this one. Not that this one has been that slow. I’ve made this much progress in a week, which I’m thinking is pretty [...]
Weekend Recap

This weekend went by too fast, as they often do, but it was a good one! This weekend I… …took C1 to his school’s fall festival, last soccer game of the season and a party with his soccer team. …left C2 for the first time so we could go on a date night! We went [...]
Awesome Knitting Friends

I didn’t have local knitting friends until a little over a year ago. I had tried to find some at shops and meet-ups but just hadn’t really clicked with people or the meet-ups didn’t fit my schedule. It wasn’t until the Sugar Land Yarn Company opened up that I met some folks at their Cajun [...]
I swatched!

Pardon the picture, darkness snuck up on me today, but I needed to show photographic evidence that I knit not one, not two, but three swatches this weekend! The pattern allows your swatch to be used as a pocket which is why they are on holders. I’m not usually a swatcher so I’m quite proud [...]
Next on the Needles

I don’t need more yarn, so I tried to be very strategic at Rhinebeck and only buy yarn for a specific project, vests for the boys. I was looking for something in a wooly and kind of rustic green. I hadn’t heard of Wild Apple Hill Farm but we saw their booth and I knew [...]
Rhinebeck, Woo!

I realized after hauling all of our stuff to baggage check on the way to Rhinebeck that making that sort of trip with a three week old was kind of crazy. But, it was the best kind of crazy! Also, I had a ton of help once I got there. Auntie MH was our roomie [...]
Trick or Treat*

I don’t know if my mom meant to start a tradition of handmade costumes or if it just happened because we didn’t have the money to buy the store bought costumes that were pretty sub-par back then (ETA see the comments, should have known she did it because she’s crafty since she’s the one who [...]
Hiatus

Sometimes, it’s good to take a step back and take a break, even if it’s from things you love (no, I’ve already taken a blog break so this isn’t about that). My hand started bothering me, and with the holidays coming up before too long, I decided to take a step back for a week [...]
