Blackbird Sycamore

I’ve spent most of the week on the landscaping.  It’s coming along pretty well I think.  I hope some of the plants actually live.  Sam asked why I keep taking pictures of all the plants.  I told him because it may be the last time we see these plants alive.  Some people have a green [...]

This little guy was peeking around the corner at the top of the stairs this morning.

Here’s what I’m knitting up now.  The pattern is called the “One Row Lace Scarf” and it’s super easy.  It’s the same yarn as the “Sleekit Mitts.”  I’d probably already have finished it if I wasn’t spending all my time [...]

I’ve got the first mitt done, one to go.  The pattern is called “Sleekit Mitts” by Star Rabinowitz.  I found it on Ravelry.  This is knit from a sock-weight yarn called Regia Galaxy, in Jupiter Sylt color, on size 2 needles.

I just finished this scarf with the new yarn I bought in Kearney, at the Woolly Mammoth.  It was a really quick knit, a simple feather-and-fan pattern, on size 10.5 needles.  This yarn was so much fun to work with.  I finished it in 3 days!

I just finished the Side Slip Cloche from Boutique Knits by Laura Irwin.  It was an easy knit and finished pretty quickly.  I used Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Wool!” yarn, hand dyed with Kool-Aide.  It only took one skein and I still have some leftover yarn.  It’s really warm and fits great!
