Headway is being made!

Ta Da!


Honestly, this pattern is so adorable it should come with a warning. Wait until you see it on the recipient - we had a fitting the other day, and while she was a blur of motion, it was a charming blur.

Darling is nearly complete, still needs: Belts sewn on, embroidery added, loops and buttons, ends woven in and blocked. Not too shabby for a knitter of my speed.

The whirlwind that is my Mother's talent, resulted in this sweet vest. (intended for the same recipient - which means we will have to start something for her brother right away!)


This evening I began my Ravenclaw House Scarf while watching GoF. See the nearby Kleenex? My eyes were 'glistening with the ghosts of the past' - so recently past. Poor Cedric.


Notice how all of these items fall into the current PS2 theme?

It has been a busy weekend. My brother is visiting - so lots of catching up, visitors, visits and phone calls. My Mom and I drove in to the city to pick up some yarn for a project of hers. While there I bought some yummy yarn for my SP9 - that's right folks, I am still shopping: Late much? I also found a fantastic sewing project that will premiere here shortly.

I saw The Number 23 - people save your money! Fortunately we used free passes and our popcorn was fresh, so not a total waste. Really, really bad movie.

I finished a great book, Animal Dreams - now to get through the stack on my nightstand...

Oh, and I found a cool photo game - check it out here.

You both did a great job on those items. YARN? Did I hear you say yarn? {perk}

I am planning to make Darling for Amelia and it sure is aptly named.

BTW, I finished Poppy!! Check it out.

Gosh, how very, very beautiful! Both the sweater and the vest are absolutely awesome - and mind you, I'm so curious to see it on the recipient too! You did a really great job!

Great knits and a cute puppa!

I figured that The Number 23 would suck. Hollywood has run out of interesting things to say and stories to tell. I prefer movies from other countries.
