Sweetie Pie

She doesn't have a name. She's just sweet. Sorry for the confusion! I'll let you know when there's a name.

Remember, a rose by any other name still smells as sweet.....

These days...

These days are rainy cold and filled with children and baby love. I've been able to fit some knitting in here and there. I found this self-striping yarn that I love. It's a wool that has a ot of lanolin, so it softens even as I knit it. I made each of the boys a hat in "their" colors (in my humble opinion, anyway).

Baby Girl

My granddaughter (That's the first time in my whole life I've ever written those two words together) was born at 1:07 this morning, at home, in the birth tub, surrounded by beautiful chanting music and candle light. She weighed 10 pounds 4 ounces. Her skin is softer than time. Her mama is an awesome warrior. Pictures wil be posted soon. And I'm going to take a nap.

Icy Sun Catchers

Last Tuesday we went on a rain walk and gathered little bits of nature.

When we got back to school, the children arranged their treasures in plastic tops.

I then put them into the freezer, filled them with water and added a yarn loop.

Today we hung them in the trees and earned a bit about freezing temperatures, winter and beauty.

Calling All Knitters

Help. I'm looking for a bootie pattern that I can knit in angora, and the finished product will be a little fluffy ball...no cuff...and it will stay on the baby's foot. It will need to have a good stretch to it? Two kinds of yarn maybe? Any experience? Any ideas???
