Seeking 3 Month Old

Believe it or not, I am in need of a 3 month old baby girl.  No, I am not losing my mind.  I just finished my first item in my new hobby and I need a 3 month old baby girl to model it for me.  I am so excited because it turned out so awesome!  The item is a gift for a friend of mine and I wanted to get some photos of it before I send it off to her.  Anybody know of a little one who would enjoy some part time employment?  I would consider making another one for her for payment.  Let me know…I will post photos here when I get them done…

Entrelac Anyone?

Everyone has their own tastes when it comes to knitting.  Some love socks, others prefer lace only, etc.  I like a wide range of techniques and yarn weights.  There is at least one technique that does not appeal to me at all, Entrelac.  However, when I found this shawl over at Knit Yoga, I realized that there was, yet again, a reason never to say never.  aka Dianna

This may be the only entrelac pattern I would ever consider trying.  It is actually very pretty and I can just see it done in fall oranges and browns!  Here is the Ravelry link to the free pattern if any of you are interested.

Till next time…

Spoiled Princess // Dogs on Thursdays

Funny thing about friends, they really know your true identity.  Ebby has a friend here in Auburn.  Let’s call here Aunt Lynn.  Anyway, Aunt Lynn was so excited to see that Ebby had brought us back here that she gave her a welcome home present.  As you can clearly see, Aunt Lynn not only knows Ebby’s size, but her inner personality as well.  Thanks Aunt Lynn!

Happy Thursday everyone!  Be sure to love on your pets today if you are lucky enough to have them.  Deborah

Where Have You Been // I’ve Missed You

Oh my, when I decided to go to graduate school in February of 2009, I knew it would consume my time.  I also knew that I would have to choose between blogging and other things I enjoyed doing.  For the past year knitting and fibery fun won out.  I did not realize is that I would actually miss blogging as much as I have.  I am still in school, a little more than halfway done, and I have a part-time online job now as well.  We moved to Virginia and back to Auburn.  Blazer passed away and Ebby became queen of the house.  There are just so many things I should have blogged about this past year and did not.  So, here I am, blogging again.

I have begun a new, sewing related, fiber obsession.  I can’t disclose the details yet as I am making the first one for a very good friend in Ohio.  But, it is almost finished and then I will have a big reveal post.  Perhaps I will incorporate a prize or two…

In other news, I have been knitting socks like crazy and am halfway finished with my year long Sock Knitter’s Anonymous challenge of one pair per month.  Hand knitted socks are so much more comfortable to wear than store bought!  For my Ravelympics entry I decided to try to finish my Frost Flowers and Leaves Shawl.

Taking a quick look at the days left in the Olympics and the amount I still have to knit on this thing, I will not finish in time.  However, I do think I will have it to a point where it will be better to finish it than not.

So nice to be back, see you soon…Deborah
