Molly turned 8 back in February and I never posted a picture (like I usually do when the kiddos have a birthday) so, here’s Molly:
I finished Tangled Yoke Cardigan (rav link) (but I don’t like the buttons, so I’ll be changing them):
I knit the girls some pocket slippers (rav link):
And…..we got a puppy! She’s a [...]
Well, obviously, I didn’t meet my goal of finishing Tangled Yoke by January 12th. Oh well! I’m almost finished with the cabled section – I plan on finishing the cables and the short rows tonight, so, very soon (I’m hoping this weekend) it will be finished. Then, on to sweaters for the little [...]
and I’m about an inch into the yoke. My goal is to finish this sweater by next Monday (the 12th).
Knitting (this is taking forevah):
Spinning (mill ends from Fibers 4 Ewe):
So, we’ve been trying to get the house ready for sale and it’s taking longer than we planned. Hurting my lower back hasn’t helped. I hurt it a little over a week ago sealing the grout on the new bathroom floor (guess I twisted the wrong way), and it feels like it’s getting worse instead [...]

Daniel [...]
Here’s some shots of my progress on Ardessie:
I’ll be weaving in the ends when each section is done so there aren’t millions to weave in when finishing:
A pair of shorties for Daniel:
And, most importantly, a prayer shawl for my sister (she’s going through some trying times):
For those who don’t know what a prayer shawl is, [...]
For me, myself and I:
For Miss Sarah:
Both were knit with Noro Cash Iroha on size 7 needles.
