Squares for me, squares galore…

…meet Square number three: …and Square number four! (Extra-long bedtime routine for the little one today, including lots of Dr. Seuss. He’s getting his first-year molars, ugh.) My dining room table is a veritable block-fest, but I’ll keep the pictures down to 2 or 3 a day so that hopefully…

Non-triumphant returns

Well, that took a wee bit longer than it should have. Thankfully, the stash is safe and sound in its new home. (Behold, a very pink picture of the stash.) It’s also rather sizable, thanks to TGEOAT‘s Herculean efforts. I am staunchly resisting her latest attempt, though. …And as lame…

The nomadic life.

Whoosh!

…and there goes a week. I had a lovely birthday, filled with much knitting-related goodness. In addition to that gorgeous silk, I got some great books: Knitting Nature by Norah Gaughan, Inspired Cable Knits by Fiona Ellis, the new Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK book, and I finally got with the…

Why I have the best husband ever.

One down-side to knitting multiple projects at once is that sometimes, even though you’ve been knitting and making progress, there’s very little in the way of interesting pictures. I finished both hoodie sleeves and they’re blocking along with the front (“only” the hood and finishing to go!), I got over…
