I had some kind of New Years knitting injection… I have a Blue Sky Alpacas Melange fair isle cowl in the works, test knitting galore, a crochet scarf in motif designs, a shrug in Karabella Merino Superwash and a scarf in Tilli Tomas Beaded Plie. All of which are pretty close to being complete thanks to some down-time while I was sitting around for things to happen.

Here’s two of the projects… yummy alpaca.

And I leave you with Josie… kind of sleeping..
or is she blinking?

yay for hats

January 15, 2009 · Filed under knit, patterns

It has been BITTER cold up here in New England. Tomorrow many schools are closed, no snow, just too cold…

Since I’ve been staying in, I finally finished writing up a new pattern!

Here is the hat in Loop-d-Loop Tundra

The pattern is at ravelry. CLICK HERE for FREE the pattern!!

At our current sale price on Tundra, knit this hat for under $17.00!
It’s a great new yarn from Loop-d-Loop, very much like the beloved Rowan Big Wool.
Super soft merino wool.

I’ve actually been wearing this hat for almost two months now.. get a lot of compliments when I’m out and about.

enjoy

Very Habu Textiles

January 9, 2009 · Filed under hmm

I was browsing the internet today and found this website

www.bluepolly.com

Some of the sweaters look very “Habu Textiles”
The yarn and the styles… hmmm

Then I was on a roll searching for Habu knits, this Kusha Kusha Shawl is a great twist on the Kusha Kusha Scark kit. Lovely.

xmas 2008 and new years

January 1, 2009 · Filed under gifts

Happy New Year!

my big resolution for 2009 is not to leave empty boxes in the pantry, under the sink, in the bedroom, etc. I’m the kinda girl that, you know, you reach for the Wheat Thins and it’s an empty box. Why? I don’t know why I do it. Lazy I guess in that department. What’s strange is that it only relates to my house, not my work zones… Anyway, wish me luck!

So, here’s the best gift I got this year… my Mom made it for me!

It is my old toy chest from when I was a kid.
It used to be just wood… she wood-burned and painted it, just for me!!

even the sides are painted!

All I asked for this year was a painting of Devil’s Tower.
Looks like I was “good” enough to get my wish and then some ;-)

in this close-up you can see the wood-burned parts.

The front even has a picture of my beloved 1987 Volvo 240 wagon… aww!
I love it SO much… eek

Also, I got two items from emitations.com that i wanted.
Mom? reading my blog again?! ;-)
The heart necklace and the bracelet. Haven’t taken them off yet.
