As of last night, I officially completed my SECOND baby hat.  I am on a roll! The latest uses the “upside down daisy” pattern from the book Itty Bitty Hats.  I used a multi-colored pink & white yarn, which ended up looking striped when knitted in the round.  I didn’t like the way the petals […]

Having seen my craftiness with knitting, my sister-in-law was inspired to get me this treasure for Christmas:
 
The Stupid Sock Creatures Book & Kit! It comes with a couple of socks and other accoutrements to make a little sock monster.  The book includes a number of patterns with full instructions for making your own.  So cute!  […]

My apologies for the lack of posts.  I’ve got some stuff to share, so look for something in the next day or so.

The real-life Total Perspective Vortex.  Holy cow!
A little time-waster for you: Save the Snowman!  Here’s what I want to know: since when is a hat rack a typical gift?
Because I love graphic design. Ask a question, get an answer in the form of graphic art! I LOVE the idea for the restaurant menu!
For that New […]

I knitted my first baby hat! I used the simplest knitting pattern in the book I mentioned in an earlier post, Itty Bitty Hats.  I also didn’t change colors, so the hat all white, which is kind of boring.  I did screw up in one spot.  I was able to fix it, but you can tell it […]

Being new to blogging, there are a lot more than 5 things that you don’t know about me. This meme has been flying around the blogosphere for a couple of days now, so I thought I would join the bandwagon, even though I wasn’t officially invited.  Well, who’s going to invite me, since I just got […]

I knitted two scarves over the weekend!  I already gave one away as a present, and forgot to take a picture of it.  It was a multi-colored blue/green yarn. I did get the plain white one photographed before wrapping it, though.  Both are made from eyelash yarn, which is a PAIN in the A$$ to […]

It’s that time of year again.  An arbitrary mark on the calendar that means another year has gone by.  Time for some new goals for 2007!
1. Have fun!
2. Have a baby
3. Increase readership of my blogs
4. Increase my knitting skills
5. Win big in Vegas! (We do have a trip planned, but I’m not […]

Today my team at work held their annual holiday outing.  It was nice, but the best part was a gift certificate to Borders.  I love that store!  I know, it’s not exactly a “find”, but if you haven’t picked up a book in awhile, you ought to check it out.
Speaking of books, I did find […]

Check out this post over at Apartment Therapy.  I can’t imagine the work that must go into one of those.  It’s got a picture of the artist at work, but it’s still kind of unimaginable.  I’m just learning to knit myself.  Do you think working a cable stitch would be easier on such a giant […]
