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 [...]

Sweater Progress & Stole Pattern

Sweater Body

This time I can say with confidence I WILL be finishing my sweater! I am so excited about it. I’ve got the back all knit up and I’ve started up the front. I’m hoping to have it complete before I go off to Mexico, on Cinco de Mayo, but we’ll see.

Yarn Graffiti – Giveaway

I came across some info, maybe in Craft Magazine, a while back about Urban Knitting – basically knitting and “tagging” urban fixtures eg. light posts, signposts, door handles, chain links, fire hydrants etc. The reason I’m motivated to post about this is as I was driving down Brooks Street in Missoula, [...]

New Sweater – Knit in the Round

New Sweater

I’m starting another sweater, I tore out the sweater for my sweet husband – that will be a project for later…

Pattern of the Week!

Happy Sister

First thing’s first – here is my happy ‘rainbowed’ sister. They match! I had my concerns, but mash an incredible amount of color together how would you not get a match? A rainbow is a rainbow is a rainbow.

Now onto the newest addition to Mama Loves [...]

New Baby Blanket

Baby Belly

I went into Joseph’s Coat, in search of some washable wool – soft enough to be a baby blanket. I had a pattern in mind. I’m not following it exactly, just loosely.  I am knitting every row, to get a beautifully simple garter stitch, and I love how the blanket is [...]

Amy

We’ve had a houseful of love for the past couple of weeks and we will for nearly a month into the future. Don’t get me wrong – that is the way I like my life – full of people and making constant memories. Really everyday feels like a special day – [...]
