i like cake!

Greetings faithful blog readers!  I’ve been getting bad about updating again, so sorry!  My initial plan, begun in my last post, was to post my smoothie recipe from every morning.  That lasted about two days until I realized that my smoothie recipe is always 1 tub of yogurt, a couple pieces of whatever fruit I […]

I’m pleased to announce the release of my newest sock pattern, Blueberry Bubbles.  This sock was inspired by the amazing color of the Wollmeise yarn used to make it, and is meant to represent a stream of bubbles rising through a glass of blueberry soda.
Blueberry Bubbles is written using charted designs, and a relatively simple […]

I had just gotten done listening to an irate trademark infringer yelling at me on the phone and generally ruining my afternoon, when what should arrive, but some gorgeous flowers from my guy! =D   So pretty!
I actually have a new cupcake recipe to post, but I don’t have it in front of me, so […]

I gather, from a friend who was living in Paris recently, that the color purple is the big current fashion trend–everyone is wearing it, even the men.  Lucky for me, I love purple too!
This is my second finished sweater for the year so far.  I’m trying to keep on pace at one a month, and […]

For some reason I always seem to feel compelled to finish a knitting project for Valentine’s Day.  Perhaps it’s because I love pink and hearts so much.  This year’s project celebrates both of those loves, with my new sock design, Love Bugs.
The Love Bugs pattern is available from my Ravelry shop for $4.00

Yarn: The Sanguine […]

For those of you who have knit or are thinking of knitting a Frosting, this cable pattern will likely look familiar to you.  I need a simple, warm cowl pattern to show off some handspun yarn, and this is what I came up with.  This is really more of a recipe than a proper pattern, […]

Apparently “circle” or “tube” scarves are very fashionable right now.  Never one to miss a hot fashion trend, I decided to make my own in preparation for my Thanksgiving trip home to Chicago.  Since moving to California, I am a total wuss, and cannot handle the cold at all.  Made from The Plucky Knitter’s Aran […]

I know I’m pretty bad about keeping the site updated. And since I haven’t been baking as much lately, it’s been even more neglected. I have been knitting though, so I figured I’d take the opportunity to show off a bunch of the stuff that I’ve finished lately!

Pattern: Melody’s Shawl
Yarn: The Plucky Knitter […]

For those who keep up with my Flickr photostream, it will come as no surprise that I have a ridiculous amount of yarn. A stupid amount, even. In my defense, I will add that while Flickr documents nearly every yarn that comes into my house, it does not capture the ones that leave, […]

Wow, I’ve gotten really bad about posting lately. Sorry! But then, I haven’t been doing much baking lately, and I haven’t finished any interesting knitting projects either. To be honest, I’ve been a little bit burned out on knitting lately, and I’ve taken to reading a bunch over the last couple of […]
