Here are a couple baby hats I knit up in the last week. The gray one I dyed the yarn myself, which turned out really well. The other is a gift for a baby girl. I currently have 5 other projects waiti...
I am 34 weeks and 3 days. Im officially at the stage where I just feel huge and uncomfortable. Not too extreme, but the thought of waiting for over another month sounds like forever. Sitting up in th...
I just got back from a great trip to see my sister in Portland. The last hurrah in a lot of ways. Last time I see her before we have our babies, last time I fly on a plane without a little one, last ...
My first memory of learning the gory details of pregnancy was in 10th grade health. I had the typical health teacher, ex-baseball coach (fired for a mysterious incident that was never talked about), ...
Time has been passing way too fast. Seriously what has happened? Im now in my last trimester, and the pressure is on! I cant believe that Im shopping for car seats, room decorating and thinking about...
I hope you all had a great valentines day. We dont go too crazy about it, but Tyler did give me some amazing gifts: he picked out some decals from Shanna, and a ring from Odette. We couldnt help but ...
I got one sock done. Now I have to do the other one. Hopefully I wont have this turn into my mitten project. Making two of something is hard! Mentally I just want to move on. I guess I could learn ho...
I feel like instagram has turned into quite the mini blog for me, I love posting on there but I know it only limits to iphone users. Those who follow my instagram have seen my blender obsession. Afte...
As you can imagine, I was very anxious to find out what we were having, for many reasons. Mostly for me so I could finally pick out yarn colors and start on baby projects. A couple days after the ult...
This blog has been a journal about what Im doing in the moment. Obviously, there has been a lot of knitting going on. My first trimester cooking large dinners sounded disgusting, so thats why my norm...
Last of the hats! I promise. My husband and my sisters husband are very similar in what they like, and I wanted to make them the same hat. I liked this fishermans style twisted rib beanie. But I did ...
So many cables. Cables are shockingly simple to do, but make the greatest variations in knitting that make them look so complex. I knit these for my family for Christmas. From the top: Lindsay: My si...
For these hats, I did colorwork for the first time in my knitting. It was really easy to do, and a fun technique. I made twin hats for Malorie and I, using the yarn that I dyed. This hat can either b...
so this has happened. . . and this. . . and this! 1. Im having a baby! 2. Its a boy! 3. My twin sister is also having a baby! Im excited to share the news that Tyler and I finally took the big leap. ...
Im back from my long Christmas break. We spent tons of time with family and ate way too much, so success. Im glad to come back home and get more into a routine, I promise Ill be back here much more t...
Now thats its December, Ive been so busy working on all my handmade gifts and its so hard to not be able to share them! Ive done some new things that have been pretty fun, and the one I can show is m...
Sorry for the radio silence for the last couple weeks. We spent a great Thanksgiving break at my brother-in-laws house in Indiana, where we watched a lot of wonder years and sister wives. Not to ment...
When I was in Portland, my sister and I were taking a short jog through a park and noticed a pack of goats clearing an area. A sign was advertising a "goats for rent" business. So Portland. W...
Saturday while Tyler was at a football game, I started and finished a little sweater for gigi. Its a shame that I havent made one before. She does pretty well with wearing clothes. Because of her itc...
So after 3 straight weeks of weekend road trips to Maryland, New York and Virginia, Tyler and I were looking forward to a quiet weekend, relaxing at home. Then Friday we went bowling with some friend...
I recently finished a couple herringbone cowls. This pattern is wildly popular, and I have been wanting to make it for a while. Shanna and I decided to make them together, we got the yarn together ov...
I took another road trip a few hours north to beautiful upstate New York to see my dear friend Shanna (and her cutie pup Ollie). I think we both needed some friend time, and it was nice to spend a fe...
So it still kept raining, and raining. I think gigi got a UTI because she wouldnt put her pretty little face outside. Drama, drama. So here are some dim pictures as Im sitting in the overcast darknes...
We got back late last night from our Portland trip. We had such a great time eating our way through the city and having lots of fun with my adorable nephew Theo. Hes pretty much the cutest thing ever...
so here are all the pictures of the food we ate on our trip to portland. This is not everything we ate, but most of it. I think my sister made fun of me quite a few times for declaring things "th...
With a high of 45 this weekend, space heaters were brought out, heating oil is back to being a constant worry, and wool socks are on. Constant rain kept us inside so I was able to do very tedious dom...
I said before I was going to finish my sweater at the end of last week, and I did it! The seaming actually went pretty smoothly. I took in a little more at the sides to help the fit, but Im pretty ha...
This weekend we went to a race, but the whole trip was a race. Race to get to Baltimore in time (had huge delays), race to get his race packet the next morning, Tyler of course racing against his PR ...
So remember my quilt I started a while ago? I finished it on the plane to Portland a few weeks ago, and so didnt get pictures of it until my sister kindly sent me some with my favorite model (who app...
So I previously showed a new project that I was working on, and started sewing away. Then my machine jammed up. No one told me that you are supposed to change your needle about every project (which I...
