I have a few things to share this morning. First, I am so loving the rainbow yarn picture that I set it as my desktop wallpaper. I’ve added it to our free desktop wallpaper collection in case any of you would enjoy the wooly rainbow on your desktop, just choose the appropriate size. Once the …

Tree Garland – How to make an I-Cord
My mom bought a basket full of this yarn (Lorna’s Laces Green Line Dk which has been sadly discontinued), with no real project in mind. I’ve been stealing skeins of it (shhh) here and there to make some Christmas tree garland. It is a simple 4sts I-Cord. The quick rainbow color switches work up beautifully …
Beginning My Fall Knitting – Notes on Rosa Hat
In between other, larger projects (with more on that to come, including a peek at my Double Secret Probation Sweater) I’ve been whipping up a few smaller, fun fall knits. I’ve been using this as an excuse to take a tour of other blogs looking for free knitting patterns. The one I’ve started with is …
Sweltering Berry Picking
Over the last couple weeks we have had our share of this nasty heat wave. We came home from the cool mountains of Vermont to sweltering heat and humidity. Of course, the heat helped ripened the all the berries a bit early and we were left to pick in the worst of the heat. We …
Maker Faire 2011
The Boys went to see all thing Geek last weekend at the 2011 Maker Faire. Bug, Daddy and Othy all had a blast. Othy is a computer engineer, Daddy is a Mechanical Engineer and Bug is definitely an engineer in training. Based on how excited they all were when they returned… it was engineer heaven. …
Racerback Tank
I have completed my second project from More Knitting in the Sun, the Ramona Racerback Tank. Actually I finished it, with the exception of the crocheted edge around the arm holes while in Vermont and Fairy has worn it several times at this 99% done stage. I finally sat down last night with a …
Postcards from Vermont 2011
My mom shared some pictures of her latest trip to visit the Little Lady so I needed to share some of ours. We went in the other direction. We just got back from our annual trip to Vermont (here are last year’s pics). This is something we’ve been doing since I was 11 years old …

Signs of the Season are all around us. Feel free to link to one of yours.
Fairy’s Summer Shrug
I just completed my first project from More Knitting in the Sun: 32 Patterns to Knit for Kids… a summer weight shrug for Fairy-girl, my little ballerina. It turned out adorable… but a bit big (sarcasm here). Huge is more like it. I really should have paid more attention to the finished chest sizes rather …
Waterfall Scarf
Normally I don't knit much in the summer. It's hot and my energy is usually more focused outdoors. This year has been different. I don't know if this has been because this season has been mostly cold and rainy so far or due to the fact that my Raverly Queue is continuously growing rather than …
Newbie Knitting | Yarn Ball Applique Block
This fall I will be teaching a knitting class at my children’s co-op. After typing up my syllabus for the class, it of course occurred to me that this would make an awesome series for Wee Folk Art. And then not only can I share my class with all of you, it will also double …
Patchwork Pots Revisited
Here is a fun spring project that we have completed in the past. The Patchwork Pots make for wonderful Easter table decorations or Mother’s Day gifts. It is a fun way to bring a little spring inside. You can find the directions here.
