My February
February was jam packed with stuff. I celebrated my 11th wedding anniversary, saw the beginning of a new year (Chinese New Year….year of the tiger, MY year!). I went to my first burlesque show in Asbury Park, baked cupcakes for and attended a good friend’s baby shower. Oh, and left the country [...]

I do still knit for myself!
And I have proof!! I started Thermal a couple weeks ago and I’m just a couple inches away from dividing for the neck placket.
I’ve also been baking. I baked a gigantic batch of brownies (4 times as large as my regular size) for our bbq a couple weeks ago. And I made [...]

A bulletted post
- Pictures of the cupcakes and the brownie “cupcakes” from 2 weeks ago. The brownies spell out “ABYBAY”, our very affectionate term for the baby. Cupcakes are from here, and the brownies are just my brownies, in cupcake form. I cut out letters out of a piece of cardboard, placed on top [...]

Of shawls, gardening, and walking
I’m sitting here trying to think of what I’ve done in the past week since the last blog post, and I honestly can’t think of what I’ve done. Either it was really boring, or it was so packed with stuff that it kept me too busy to remember. Either way, I have pictures [...]

Insert witty title here
I have been doing only a little bit of knitting. Most of it is on a new project for Knit Picks. I finished up the February Baby Sweater.
I think it’s really cute, and I liked the pattern, but I don’t know how many times I would make it….there’s too much garter stitch, and [...]

Knitting, spinning, sewing, baking, oh my
I’ve been a busy gal.
Knitting:
Fingerless mitts (Rav link) in Pigeonroof Studios yarn. Took just a few days, but if you had nothing else to do one lazy weekend, you could definitely do a pair in one day.
I finished up MS4, but it’s weird looking. I need suggestions here. The yarn [...]

Birthday weekend
My actual birthday, Friday, was good. But it was your average Friday. The gals that came over on Saturday (thanks for making that trek…I totally appreciate it!!), totally helped make my birthday a good one. We had a lot of fun, a lot of laughs and did some knitting. I made [...]

Vote!
Not for president…that was yesterday. Today’s vote is for cupcakes. I’m baking Friday for some knitting peeps. I’ve got the chocolate portion covered, but I need something not chocolate. Should that choice be carrot cupcakes or pumpkin cupcakes? Leave your vote in the comments, because I’m too lazy to figure [...]

Of knitting, pumpkins and cupcakes
Rhinebeck weekend I started a pair of socks for the kid, who picked out his own sock yarn on WWKIP day. Dream in Color Smooshy in Cocoa Kisses. I finished them today.
I made the socks a smidge too big for him, because the way his feet are growing, he’d have outgrown them before [...]
