And Then I Totally Effed That Oh

Trillian

Back in 2008 (April 6th to be exact), I went to see the Yarn Harlot in Atlanta and ended up with 6 ounces of soy silk. Oh, and I also saw the Yarn Harlot. On July 5, 2011 I finally decided to spin it up. On July 13, 2011 I finished plying it and promptly did not record how many yards I spun. Seriously. How did I not do that? WHY did I not do that?!

Then in October, before leaving for SAFF, I decided that I needed to knit up the circus roving turned yarn into something. So I made myself [...]

Pegasus Reborn

Pegasus Hat Front

BAD Boy is learning about Greek mythology in school and next week is Greek Week. And on this coming Friday, he has to wear a costume. They drew costume choices out of a hat. His costume? Pegasus.

That’s right. PEGASUS.

In case you were wondering, the only pegasus costumes you can buy are for babies and/or sluts.

So we improvised. We ordered some angel wings from Costume Express. And I made him this hat.

Girls’ Trip!

Two-Fister

A couple of weeks ago I went on my annual trek to the mountains of Asheville, NC for SAFF and stayed in a rustic cottage of mostly awesomeness with my girls Evil Science Chick, Evil Julie and Nytefalle.

Drinking Is Srs Bizness

We learned that if a bear shits in the woods, it definitely stinks. (A bear may or may not have shit outside our cabin. Or possibly the drunk boys 2 cottages down. OR there may have been an issue with a septic tank. We went with bear.) We pretty much blamed that [...]

More Knitting, But with Dogs

SQUIRREL! TV

Last weekend I spent the majority of it on the porch with the dogs while I finished up knitting and seaming a baby sweater.

SQUIRREL! TV

My Little Hoarder

They had a blast watching the Squirrels! and just being dogs in general. Can you tell Cody used to be a stray? He has a tendency to hoard and steal treats.

Seaming Trellis

I enjoyed being out on the deck, listening to my audiobook, knittingseaming and capturing the moments. Also, two tv trays and a large blocking board can make for an excellent workspace outdoors. I can’t tell [...]

Look, Ma! Knitting!

Swaddling Blanket Blocking

I have a baby shower to go to this coming Wednesday. This is one of two gifts I’ll be giving. Or it may be one of one gifts if I don’t hurry up and finish the baby sweater. To speed my knitting along, I’m going to take my time and show you this swaddling blanket.

The pattern is one I found on Ravelry called Jewell. I, as usual, slightly modified the pattern. Instead of knitting the points with alternating rows of stockinette and knit, I just made them all stockinette.

Oh, and the pattern [...]
