I know – a shock isn’t it?
I finally got buttons on the kindergarten sweater. It’s Tater’s Cotton Cardi but done in Vanna’s Choice because, well, it’s going to kindergarten. I figure sturdy and machine wash and dry is good in this case. It’s an adorable pattern and I will certainly not hold my inability to [...]

If you have a brand new baby girl going by the code name “Little Miss” please look away now.

I love making baby stuff. It’s smallish, cute, and tends to be finished fairly quickly.

In case you all hadn’t noticed I’ve not posted here in a while. There still isn’t anything really fun and interesting to post about. For those of you keeping score:
Dad
Hospice brought out a hospital bed last week as he is now too weak to move around much even with the walker. Yesterday he got a [...]

There really has been stuff going on over here during the recent radio silence. The thing is, none of it was deeply exciting. Here’s the short version:
Granny Square Felted Slippers in Paton’s Merino. They either felted weird or I didn’t sew them right by the heels. They’re going to need some fiddling with.

The only place I went shopping on Black Friday was Jo Ann’s. They had Paton’s Classic Merino Wool on sale for $3.50/skein and a 20% off everything before noon coupon.

These [...]

It the time of year for mitts and having a reasonable amount of Paton’s Merino left over from Mittens for Akkol socks I knit these up last week. I’m considering writing up a pattern for them after I make another pair. These are plain tube-style mitts and I want to try again adding a few [...]
