Weathering miters

I finally finished the 9-patch dishcloth, but I’m still having trouble with my SSK (Slip, slip, knit) decreases. I tried all the methods I saw on Knittinghelp.com, but nothing seemed to make any real difference. I must be doing something wrong; I know they won’t look just like the knit 2 together decrease, but mine [...]

My secret pal came through for me big time. I have no clue who she is, but I got a third package yesterday that rocked just as much as the other two. She sent me the above banana silk yarn in that awesome green. It rocks. And it’s so timely. The toddler has [...]

Things seem to be going along swimmingly (so to speak) for the newest tiny member of our family. I’m starting to feel a little less sick, but no less sleepy. And I seem to be coming down with a cold. That’s always fun, especially when pregnant and chasing a little one who is really starting [...]

So it didn’t occur to me that I needed to tell ya’ll that the photo I posted yesterday is not the photo that will be in the calendar. It’s that sweater, but another, totally different photo. That’s part of the big secret. You’ll have to wait for the calendar to see the actual photo.
I goofed. [...]

It’s Official!!!

The baby is finally a toddler! He took his first official steps last Thursday while we were in Omaha visiting Hubby’s Grandma, Aunt and Uncle. He hasn’t made much progress since then, but he’ll get there in his own time.
I haven’t made much of any progress myself. We were all sick earlier this week. Then, [...]
