There were a lot of local knitbloggers there all weekend, but I didn’t see any familiar faces in the crowd.
Kitty Day
Hi! I’m Munchkin, resident cute kitty! lime wanted me to tell you 1) she’s crazy busy (fortunately not so crazy that she doesn’t forget to feed me or laptime after lunch!) and 2) ‘Thank you!’ for your lovely comments about the green socks.
I’m also supposed to give you a sneak peek of her new project. more »
Do not disturb
You may look at my new yarn if you promise not to wake up Munchkin. more »
Red River
When the new June pattern for Sockamania was distributed, I had a hard time figuring out what yarn I wanted to use. It took rummaging through a few stash boxes until I finally found something that felt right.
Also, I’ve been looking forward to the new color phase for Project Spectrum: red, black, and metallic. Before I cast on for the new socks, I snapped this photo
The Cat’s Bib*
I finally knitted a Mason-Dixon Knitting baby bib. What better model could I have other than Munchkin?
Keep your paws clean
Two quick things before paw business: The “What’s in a color?” (Contest #5) Winner will be posted tomorrow! And, several people asked about the yarn I’m using for the Yarrow Ribbed socks. The yarn is the Calzetteria shown here, specifically the Venice colorway. I finished them a couple days ago and will post FO pictures this week. :)
La’s having a DeFeet of Cuteness contest. I’m kind of late, but I couldn’t resist posting a few good pictures I got of Munchkin:
It’s cold!
Thanks again to everyone who left comments about my Dad. I’m glad to report he’s well on the way to recovery, and was able to spend Thanksgiving at home.
It’s been busy, busy. We’ve been shopping, working, solving jigsaw puzzles, baking and cooking, eating, and knitting. (Okay, that last one was just me!) Here’s a picture from when Grandma and I baked some of my favorite Pumpkin cookies. more »
Moebius Basket
As I mentioned in my previous post… the felting of the Moebius basket turned out marvelous. Voici!
Shepherd’s Harvest 2006
Saturday, my parents and I went to Shepherd’s Harvest. It was overcast and cold enough that we wished we had mittens or gloves. (There were some for sale, but we didn’t buy any.) So, no MDSW good weather mojo, but at least it wasn’t pouring rain like it did at NHSW (look at the 2nd and 3rd pictures here; and don’t forget to scroll down for an awesome family portrait!).
