I am asking for anyone that can/will/chooses – please send up good thoughts/prayers/love for baby Kamryn Lily, who at just under 2 lbs, born almost 3 months early, is suffering from an infection right now. She needs all that she can get, too. So could her mom – my dear Canadian friend, Jill. I started…

Sock-a-month 2006 and New Baby
I just joined the “Sock-a-month 2006 knitalong.”:http://knittinmom.blogspot.com/2006/01/sock-month-knitalong.html I figure I could use the accountability and encouragement since I have so many socks I want to knit. I still have my koigu pair on the needles and have done a few more rows, but not much more than pictured in the previous entry. And I’m not…

A little bit of progress on koigu socks
I learn each time I rip out knitting. I have to remember that to ease the pain of ripping out my work. But I know it will be worth it when I get to finally wear these lovely socks. So I ripped back to 56 stitches at the end of the toes, they had been…

Mittens for Baby Darlin
I finished the Valentine mitten’s from “SnB Nation”:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0761135901/qid=1136611846/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-8845346-4437522?n=507846&s=books&v=glance for Baby Darlin’ that I made from some of the first wool I hand-dyed. The girls helped me with those first batches, and they each dyed a small amount, too. I used the yarn that she dyed for the thumbs, the top of the cap and the…
Overdyed multidirectional scarf
Rember this?: p=. !http://static.flickr.com/31/51815910_94b643a6bd_m.jpg(multidirectional scarf)! It was the “multi-directional scarf”:http://crowingram.threadbearfiberarts.com/images/multi-directional-scarf.pdf that I made from some of wool that I hand-painted. Well, I’m not really drawn to pastel colors, and since this is the only scarf around that I haven’t gifted away, I wanted to wear this one, but the colors…. they were just not me.…
Lost scarf and recent FO’s
I lost my sweet, scarf: !http://static.flickr.com/28/61491134_89fb3ae18b_m.jpg! I can hardly believe it. It ended up being mine, by default. I loved the faded autumn colors that I hand-painted myself. The “Rainy Day Scarf pattern”:http://yarndemon.typepad.com/demonic_progress/2005/05/rainy_day_scarf.html was such fun, ribbed, goodness. I wore it everywhere, for days, until I came home from shopping one night last week and…
