At Long Last….

mama_loves_knitting_sweater_complete

I did it! I finished my sweater – in one year – but it is finished none-the-less. I will probably wear it every single day for a year now. It is cozy and warm. It isn’t without a flaw here and there, like the entire hood is completely inside out, but with the [...]

Yarn Bombing in Missoula

Yarn Bombing in Missoula

This morning our local paper featured a yarn bombing project that I was fortunate enough to partake in yesterday. If you’d like to see the article to hear more about Keep Missoula Warm you can check it here.

This fascination I have with tagging something in town was finally met but not on [...]

Baby Evelyn Mae’s Hat

Evelyn Mae Hickey

I got to be at another birth and it was an awfully special one, especially close to my heart. This little nugget joined our family almost a week ago and I was present for her first breath of Montana air. She was born right in her Mama and Papa’s peaceful bedroom, and she’s [...]

Yarn Scraps

Canned Yarn

It all came to me one afternoon. I was wondering what on earth to do with my yarn scraps, they aren’t all just scraps – I’ll use them again. I used some bits to tie a quilt just this past week. I use all kinds of bits for projects I’ve got going in [...]

Double Pom Pom Hat

Happy Baby

Baby William really digs his new blanket.

The hat on the other hand…well that is another story. He looks really peaceful in these photos. This was another project I started this past summer for my baby nephew. I told my sister I could finish it up before I left the Midwest on our [...]

Baby En Route

Blanket Pile

I convinced my sister at 41 weeks (today) to drink some castor oil (in hind sight I don’t think it took much convincing). She is probably checked into the hospital right now. I got a text about an hour ago saying they were on their way. I texted her 2 hours ago and said [...]

Edie’s Birthday Hat

Edie

I have another special special person in my life that was the recipient of a knit birthday hat, and don’t you worry I stuck to that ‘oh so familiar ribbed pattern’ that I so do love. I couldn’t ever tell you the exactness of it, I pretty much wing it every [...]

Hi Knitting Blog

Wool

I’ve been away from you, but definitely not away from my knitting. I’ve got a handful of projects for new babes coming into the world and for sweet babes already in the world. I have my sweater in a good place, just awaiting the assistance of the Knitting Jedi to finish up the hood. [...]

4 Months Old

Little Baloney

And her auntie FINALLY got her blankie done. Sheesh.

I suppose this post will be more a photo gallery than anything else. This is what Sloane looks like today, she’s not much of a newbie anymore, but at least she’s not 5.

So the [...]

Getting Closer and Cup Cozy

Sweater Vest II

I’m pretty into a nice hot cup of Tipu’s Chai on my way to drop my boys off at school in the morning. I decided a few days ago that I can’t seem to live without it anymore. I am a changed woman in the morning after that cup of chai. I can climb [...]
