This past week was unseasonably cool for Baltimore and I loved it. I made pumpkin bread, drank apple cider, and started my Knitterly Things mitten kit (I chose the color way ‘vintage appliance’). They’re moving along swimmingly.
(there’s a lot going on the living room right now)
I’ve also started another project with odd balls of stash [...]

- Year old Knitterly Things wee skein kit in Halloween colors + last year’s Tacky Witch Sock pattern = new technicolor socks. I just received a Cheveron Mitten Love kit the other day, and I can’t wait to get started on them.
- New Ikea shelves used as a little wall partition + AJD’s record collection = [...]

So, when last I posted, I was kvetching about not having enough time to do everything, and I made a list of what I wanted to do. While I did not make blueberry cake with peanut butter frosting (but I will, don’t worry), I did get a new job, move to a new city, and [...]

Another part of my ‘get rid of all the scrap yarn I have ever owned, ever’ plan has been accomplished:
I save all the odd bits of yarn after I complete socks and this habit, paired with the great Koigu Mill-Ends Binge of 2008, has left me with lots and lots of little 30g balls of [...]

I’m so excited, I just had to share this. My birthday present to myself arrived about a month earlier than I thought it would. I am now the proud owner of a cuckoo clock! Believe it or not, it is the first clock in our apartment. AJD and I use our cell phones as watches, [...]

And new slippers for you too, if you like.
Materials:
Notes: I made myself way more ‘felt’ than I needed (yes, I know this is fulled knitting, but for ease, I’m going to use the word ‘felt’). The amounts written in the list are the measurements for the final pieces of felt I made.

AJD and I don’t usually have the same days off (I take my weekend in the middle of the week to avoid tourist mayhem, and AJD’s schedule changes weekly), so when our schedules work out we try to do something fun. Last weekend, we were supposed to go to NYC but AJD’s nasty cold kept [...]

I’m going to be boastful for a moment- these cupcakes are the best bit of baking I’ve done since I made gingerbread at Christmas. I promised my friend Milan a batch of cupcakes one Sunday. A few days later I saw a German Chocolate Cake sitting out at our local bakery and I thought, why [...]
