My friend Tara came over Friday night to watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games and cast on for our Ravellenic Games projects! I made a patriotic fruit pizza and some little popcorn “torches”. We didn’t knit much because, wow, there was a lot to see during Opening Ceremonies, but we did get started! … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading

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 … Continue reading

It wasn’t until the Sugar Land Yarn Company opened up that I met some folks at their Cajun … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
