at least I got something done

I finished this yesterday, Baby Shrug pattern from Simply Baby. It has been hibernating on the bottom of my knitting basket for, oh, maybe a year or so. I started knitting this before Abby was born. I don’t even remember what the name of the yarn is. I’m sure that it’s from Lana Grossa, and [...]

no gold for me

Abby has been teething her molars, four of them to be exact. Needless to say I have a very cranky baby who doesn’t want to eat at all. She just wants to nurse all the time. My Ravelympics is abandoned  with just half a sleeve to be completed. Oh, well… at least I managed to [...]

I found this pattern through Label-Free. Don’t you think this would make a perfect fall coat? I’ve been wanting an empire waist coat since I saw it in a magazine years ago. Mind you, that magazine was Domino and it was on a feature on someone’s home.  That particular someone is wearing a pale pink [...]

ready, set, go!

Preparation for Ravelympics: pattern, needle, and yarn, check! Starting tomorrow morning, I have about two weeks to finish this. I admit that it’s not an incredibly challenging pattern, the challenge for me is finishing it in time. I’m such a procrastinator in seaming and weaving loose ends. I think I have three of Abby’s sweater [...]

some knit and some crochet

Double breasted coat is done! Here is the Ravelry link, in case anyone want to know the details. I didn’t do the foldover collar instead I make it a standup collar for the whole length of the neck. The foldover collar is only 3/4 length of the neck and I think it’s quite girly. I [...]
