i've been knitting up a storm the past month!
i've made two pairs of mittens (the moulin rouge still need thumbs), here's a pair of 'faux isle' mitts, from
Bekah Knits. 
i made a little monster out of noro kureyon, using this
rebecca danger pattern, and snapped a picture of him 'in the wild.'
i worked up a shop sample of this
churchmouse pattern using a skein of louet eurofax.
we've got a lot of single skeins left over after the success of cynthia parker's fitted tank class. oh, and the surprising popularity of this little ditty i made up using this
cocoknits pattern.
i blogged about it on the
Hand Held Knitting Blog, and basically rambled on and on about how much i adore this pattern and garment!
but honestly, i want to wear it all day, every day. it makes me feel so pretty! (even if i look super awkward in the pictures...)
the someone i love is always supportive of my creativity, academia, and general way of being. and he's never afraid to be silly with me. like eat cupcakes with hello kitty rings on them, then wear the rings all day. as pinky rings. i've never been happier than with my dearest C.
and as for childhood memories, i've seen friendship bracelets around the interwebs a lot in the past few months, so i figured i'd try my hand at it too! i haven't made one of these since i was really little. i picked up colors of floss that match yarn colorways i'm particularly obsessed with. this is just the first of the batch!
