Love this pattern and the poms I found on etsy. I don't have anyone in mind for these just yet, but that's never a problem for long! I also have a few January birthdays to consider.

Another Cabled Hat
Don't you just love cables? I sure do! I have no idea why either. I've made the Plaits and Pines hat before, so you may have seen it already in my Ravelry projects. That time I held yarn double, but never again for cables. It made things more fidgety and slowed me down a little… Continue reading Another Cabled Hat
Pikachu Hat for my DS
My son has a yellow and black sports car that he calls Pikachu, so he needed a Pikachu Hat. He seems to be really enjoying it too - even asked for a second one.
Quiet time produces so much joy
In the last month I've made quite a few things. I was overwhelmed with work drama so I tuned out from everything - facebook and other sites - for a bit and really just enjoyed the quiet. So meditative to bring life down a notch and just enjoy the scrumptious and squooshy yarns and the… Continue reading Quiet time produces so much joy
Back home, safe and sound
I'm home from my recent trip north to visit my sister and her family. We had a nice time making paper craft tags and packaging for my Etsy shop. My sister is VERY good at things like this, so I was very grateful for the help. My ideas flourish in fluffy fibers, while her's do… Continue reading Back home, safe and sound

Hats and cowls for the adults: Hackey Sacks for the kiddies: Then we parted on a short flight… Continue reading Ireland in the summer

Over the years I've learned to simplify my Thanksgiving a bit by using more out of the box foods and enjoying the meal more. I still spend time on certain things, but I've let go of a few things that seemed like they weren't worth the time I was putting into them. This year we… Continue reading Thanksgiving may be over, but I’m still thankful
Wood Hollow Mittens (continued)
I finished the Camp Loopy challenge II and since I knit the hat for practice, the mitts knit up in no time. I hope I get to wear them, even if just once, this winter. Last winter we had a few REALLY cold days and nights. Would have been nice to have them then, so… Continue reading Wood Hollow Mittens (continued)
Happy Bearthday!
We have a new baby (one of several) arriving soon in my family. I've never met this cousin, but we found each other on Facebook, She not only beautiful but I can just tell she's a very good person as well. That made me want to knit for her new baby, see how that works?… Continue reading Happy Bearthday!
Preemie hats!
Did you know that preemies who wear hats stay warmer? It's true. We lose body heat through our heads, so it makes sense to make preemie hats for NICUs. So that's what we have here. I make mine small, but not the very micro ones. Here are a few.
