Just Another Day Off

Starting the post with a tangent: the little one asked me this morning, “Mom, where’s that one place we went with the guns and the old building and the tea party?” Me: “You forgot what it’s called? Remember? The Alamo?” Hahaha. Hah. But really, we wanted to share about the day after the Alamo. I [...]

Knit Cuff

2009-05-04 knit cuff Originally uploaded by Phisch I made this for a friend’s graduation with silver wire and freshwater pearls, randomly placed in the knit cuff. Okay. This is dangerously fun to make. There is instant gratification, there is the adventure of something knew and unexplored, there is pretty when it’s all said and done. [...]

Monday Madness, Musing, Miscellany…

My husband is amused with me because I am very concerned about how the butterflies we have will make it in the wild. “They’ve never experienced life on the outside, ” he teased. I was, however, concerned for a legitimate reason. I don’t think anything is supposed to touch their wings and they’ve been flapping [...]

Baby Pea Pod

Peapod Originally uploaded by Phisch I’m convinced my sister can take a much, much better photo of this thing. Jojo wasn’t the best model for this. “Don’t say that, you’ll hurt his feelings!” Karen said. “It’s ok, he can’t read,” I replied. It’s done, however! And it does happen to look like a pea pod. [...]

Birthday Goodies!

Thanks to my sister Joh and her family, I got my shipment of yarn from Elann.com on Tuesday but I only posted about it today because I was being a slacker about it. I got another three balls of their Den-m-nit yarn which, just like old-fashioned denim, shrinks when you wash it the first time [...]

Baby Sac

Baby Sac Originally uploaded by Phisch Another one for Karen’s studio! I have such a good model. Jojo wouldn’t close her/his eyes, but did sit in it willingly for me. This is knit in some Baby Bee eyelash yarn. My sister kept sending me yarn listings on Etsy with lots of color. During a trip [...]

February Lady Sweater

February Lady Sweater Originally uploaded by Phisch Sorry for the blurry photo. I can’t remember why this was so hard to photograph. Oops. This is the February Lady Sweater by Flintknits pattern. I had started working on this during our drive back from California this past January. It took a while, but NM helped me [...]

Baby Grrr!

Knit baby lion hat Originally uploaded by Phisch Last night, the only thing completed on this hat was the back part plus three or four rows of the gusset (I do hope that’s what it’s called). Today, I was “inspired” by the fact that I have been on the couch all day with some bug. [...]

Baby Flower Hat

Baby Flower Hat Originally uploaded by Phisch Newborn size, hat for my sister to use for her photo studio. Knit in Knit One, Crochet Two’s Baby Boo yarn (45% bamboo, 55% nylon) which is so, so soft. I used size 6 needles and knit a bit tightly which is good. The yarn calls for size [...]

Of knitting, butterflies, travel and soccer

Plum Spring Beret Originally uploaded by Phisch ~ I have completed another hat and went on to another. I also finished the back of a sweater today and hope to cast on for the front right and left sides. Last time, I did them separately and I think I got two different gauges. Doing the [...]
