In theory, it's all about the fiber – knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning – but really, it's all about my life.
So, as we were packing to leave Pittsburgh after Christmas, Kris got a call on his cellphone that our friends Ed and Karin had become parents! Their little guy was born on the 26th. We haven’t been able to meet him yet, since we had to get back for Kris to be at work on [...]
I hereby unveil Dad’s Mohawk Hat! He cracked up completely when he saw it, and put it on immediately: Mom’s reaction? Dad debated tying the flaps under his chin. I love my Dad. He’s insane, but I love him. And for Christmas, I made him the Amhra’n Gra’ sweater from KnitPicks. I used KnitPicks Swish [...]

Yes, that’s right – Bolero #3 is done! I really do love this pattern, but I am definitely taking a break before doing the last one. (And damn, do I need to clean my windows!) I am trying to decide what I can make for myself out of this yarn – it’s so soft and [...]
At least, that’s how it feels around here. I finished Baby Bolero #2. This one is for my cousin Jen and her hubby Eric’s baby, who is scheduled to arrive May 4. I played a little, and did a picot cast-on on the sleeves, followed by seed stitch instead of the ribbing on the original. [...]
