Since I’m not done with the "yarn that will never end" I thought I’d share some lovely little things that I’ve gotten lately. My dad and brother might be more excited than anyone about the little one. My dad got baby that little mini Roots shirt. I think the days of him coming back from …

Spinning and Digging
Super busy crazy weekend. Good though, wedding + visits always equal good. On Friday night Sciarrino took me for an early birthday present to Eugene. We went to see this. So wonderful! Beautiful stories of birth, and strong woman we are not afraid to enjoy it! We also went to a fabulous yarn shop (check …
Still counting jars
I still have a box of jars to wash, yuck. Then the lids, ah the lids, how I hate to wash thee. So instead I spun a little, you know mixing things up from the knitting groove: Is that not fantastically yummy? I’m spinning it pretty thin so I can ply it together and still …
Frogged
Okay I frogged it (knit speak for ripping it back, in this case all the way). Sciarrino came over last night and when I told her that I was bravely going to knit on she mentioned knitting the net row on a long cord just to check things out. I did and then put it …
It was awesome, and pregnancy is crazy

I love going to opening night things with other people really excited because when something happens everyone gets it and the reaction is great. We made these shirts for ever ago. When I …

Baby Knits!
Okay so the baby doesn’t knit, but I am knitting for the baby. And have just a few frustrations. I got one of those worked out last night (not being able to find the right yarn), and finished this: It’s a little papoose. That is 48 inches of stockinette people – mo-not-on-ous! But easy, and …
TypePad on my iPhone
I love my iPhone! This is BJ and I have the day off. 😉
The Yarn Harlot!
The Yarn Harlot came to Portland! So my neighbor Tracy and I had to drive up there to see her. She didn’t disappoint, it was so fun, and funny! Afterwards I waited to have her sign her new book, and give her a ribbon jar. While listening to her of course everyone was knitting. I …
12 Hour Baby Surprise Jacket
I knew I had a baby shower to go to today, but I had so many other projects on my plate that I hadn’t started any kind of gift by Thursday evening. Then I panicked a bit I knew I wanted to knit something, and I have all those great vintage mags now, but decided …
