First up: Boston Terrier Mittens. This pattern is fun, fun, fun. I had lusted over these mittens on Lorette’s blog for quite some time. One reason is that this little miss entered our lives in December. Her name is Kinsey, she spent her entire life in a puppy mill and has many health […]

Continue reading →I started these socks two years ago (or maybe it was one and it just feels like two). One sock was completely frogged at one point because it was huuuuuuuge! Then the sock was re-knit. Still huge. I decided to just roll with it. Knitting had been pushed aside for raising kids and […]

Baby girl had already had an ultrasound on her head while she was in the hospital that […]
Continue reading →It’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of Christmas. Too much to do, too many places to be, etc. But this year, I thought things were so well under control and minimized that we might have a great, low stress, year. By the first week of December, I was 95% done. And then […]

Continue reading →Finished both fronts and now it is time to start/attach the collar. This next step has me a tad baffled. Nowhere in the pattern is the word “sew” used.
