1	Flowered Longies If you asked me last year, I never ever would have thought I'd say this, but I love using cloth diapers. And I think its awesome that I can knit covers to put over them. These are a pair of "longies" that are worn over a cloth diaper (like a prefold ...	May 22, 2008
2	Pointy Dodecahedron Dodecahedron is just a fun word. I really don't know if this qualifies as a dodecahedron. Dodecahedron is 12 an object with sides... a cone has 1 side, right? its one long continuous side?? and this has 12 points (cones) -- so I'm going with my original ...	May 11, 2008
3	Little Pixey Cap I'm quite happy with how this little hat came out -- and in fact, I'm wondering how it would look as an adult hat... maybe I'll make one for my sister Di. I'm thinking that if I follow the same pattern with a worsted weight yarn on size 7 needles... and ...	Feb 20, 2008
4	Striped Baby Mittens These baby mittens are nice and warm as they are done on a size 2 needle with worsted weight yarn. Because of this they should stay toasty while even blocking out some of the wind. The ribbing around the wrist should help to keep them on baby's hands, ...	Feb 12, 2008
5	Felted Toy Alphabet Blocks I've made a few baby sweaters, and they don't take a lot of time to make seeing as though they're so small, but also -- they're not going to last very long because babies grow SO fast! So -- I thought my time would be better spent making some toys. They ...	Feb 3, 2008
6	Bamboozled Headband I needed a bit of a break from Needle felting all those letters, so I found a nice quick cable project on Ravelry.com and worked on it this week. I really like that this headband tapers at each end so that you don't have a huge bulk of fabric at the ...	Dec 8, 2007
7	Newborn Ribbed Pullover and Hat This project is a bit out of order. I actually made it during my trip to Salt Lake for the Climb4Life (a girl really could get used to sitting in first class). It's a simple 3x3 ribbed sweater and hat sized for a newborn. I actually used a sock yarn in ...	Oct 15, 2007
8	Daisy Infant Layette Set For the west-bound half of my trip this week I made my first baby layette set. I'm just about finished with my light green sweater I have to sew all the pieces together and attach the buttons -- but that was too little work to bring so much ...	Aug 21, 2007
9	Tapestry Crochet Yoga Mat Bag I finally finished my yoga mat bag. It only took me 5 months... As I explained in my intial blog about the project, the bag is made using Tapestry Crochet". Its a relatively simple technique where you use a small hook and a worsted weight yarn to ...	Jul 6, 2007
10	Saguaro Cabled Mittens Whenever I fly on a plane I have to have a project to work on, whether it be knitting or crochet -- I've gotta have something in my hands. It keeps me entertained, it helps me pass the time, and hey! I'm actually being productive! I'm SO glad I learned ...	Mar 7, 2007
11	A nice litte washcloth Last year I got some great bath goodies for my birthday from my friend, Michael. My favorite was from the H2O+ Sea Salt Collection, namely the Sea Salt Skin Slougher. I also had a bottle of Sea Salt Body Wash but I never used it because I never had the ...	Feb 25, 2007
12	Completed: Fair Isle Double Knit Scarf Way back in March I started a Fair Isle Double Knit Scarf that I was making for a friend of mine. As I said before, I was kind of stumped when trying to create a "boy" scarf -- I wanted it to be warm, and pretty, but not frilly and certainly not "foo ...	Nov 2, 2006
13	Squirrels like to nit!! I'm in Salt Lake City for a few days, doing a small training/consulting thing for JBoss. It's been great to get the chance to see friends and family while I'm here, and tonight I went to Uncle John and Aunt Andrea's house to catch up and visit. Their ...	Apr 26, 2006
14	Rosehip hat So... I couldn't resist making something with one of those cool stitch patterns I got out of my new book purchase. I really liked the "rosehip" stitch. It's quick to knit, and very delicate looking. So this turned out to be a good project while we drove ...	Apr 18, 2006
15	Crimpy Crimpy - Done! On Saturday I was able to put the whole problem together, but fell off one hold from the end. I knew that I'd be able to get it the next time I was at the gym. All the moves felt smooth, the transitions were controlled, and the holds didn't feel near as ...	Apr 11, 2006
16	Rag Rug -- done! I finished my Rag Rug! You can read the original entry for the rag rug to see the pattern I used and the modifications I did to it. In a nutshell -- I converted the pattern from a circle to an oval in order to fit in the small space between my ...	Apr 3, 2006
17	Fair Isle Hat, knit in the round I love knitting for someone. I love taking this big ball of colored yarn and making something you can wear out of it... something someone can enjoy and keep themselves warm. I love putting a bit of me in the knitting -- making my own pattern, my own ...	Mar 12, 2006
