See? I was knitting up a storm… I just couldn’t show you everything!
We are headed up bright and early to visit Kris’s family in Pennsylvania… plenty of time to knit in the car!
Wow! We made the blog again! We love our knitties Lol and we love YOU!
Your Maman
Great pictures of the family–Did anyone ever tell you that you look like Hillary Duff?
I love that AC Moore is selling such varieties of yarn now, and not just itchy acrylics. Great stash enhancement!
Hi Lauren,
I hope you had a great first day – how exciting to be starting a new job. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Thank you for the kitty well wishes!! I am soo relieved! I would say nay on the cape, It is truly lovely but way trendy, would you wear it next year if you spent all that time on it?
Go for the cape. Start from the top and stop when the length is right for you-even if it is just a capelet. And even if by next fall it is not “in” anymore: a)who really cares? and b)you are clever enough to alter it in some way to make it new again. And as for pink-I don’t think you can ever have too much. And ignore the baby question-finish school and enjoy yourself-because beleive me, once those babies are here-well, let’s just say nothing will ever be the same! The headband is great-looks fab on you!
Happy Birthday! I’m sorry I missed it… a little behind on the RAOK mail… but hope you had a good one. It looks like you got some great gifts– I got a ball winder & swift for my b-day too– I love it!
those are cool pics and i just think its so cool that you knit during lunch. also those are great links. with so many great knitblogs, it is sometimes hard to get around and see the ring and the nonring blogs and then update your own blog. thanks for updates. i’ll definitely be adding the new ones to my must see list. now i just have to find the time to go through the list more often. love those blogs!
aww! what sweet gifts!
