The Cashmere Sweater

Christina | January 28, 2010

Last week Baby John’s cashmere sweater came off my needles. Am I insane to knit a cashmere sweater for a 5 month baby? Probably. But he’s my munchkin to spoil. However, I will say I paid a total of $8 for this cashmere.
No, I didn’t get this lovely yarn at a yarn sale. I salvaged [...]

I should note I have been posting about knitting over on my Knitting Zimmermann blog. I just finished the Woodsman’s Thick Sock! Hop over there and indulge your knitting side!

5 Months

Christina | January 27, 2010

Is this turning into a baby blog? Perhaps, but I do have some knitting to post soon!
Baby John turned 5 months this past Saturday. JK and I got out his little outfit that my mother in law ran out to purchase after he was born. He was too small for all the newborn clothes I [...]

Crochet Mitts

Christina | January 21, 2010

I’ve been finishing a few projects lately. One of them was the crochet mitts — I added flowers. Aren’t they cute? I haven’t settled on the pattern yet, it needs a few tweaks! But someday soon!

Motherhood

I told JK the [...]

Quarter’s Cap

Christina | January 11, 2010

About a week ago I was reading my favorite knitting inspiration blog – Getting Stitched On the Farm. Kristen Nicholas was talking about the Quarter’s Cap she designed using short rows and garter stitch. I just had to knit it. I hopped on her website and bought the pattern. OH. MY. GOODNESS. This hat is [...]

Regina Cardi

Christina | January 8, 2010

Regina has been available for purchase on Ravelry for a little while. But it is now finally available in my online shop! It is a fun knit and amazing to wear (very figure forgiving – perfect for me since I still don’t have my prebaby figure back.)

New Year’s Eve

Christina | January 2, 2010

On New Year’s Eve, JK, Baby John and I headed out to a party. We were supposed to wear hats that described our hopes and dreams for 2010. I decided to wear a whole outfit — do I look like any famous knitters you might know? You can’t see them very well, but my tam [...]
