First Post

I'm joining the crowd and starting a blog! I need a way to keep track of all of my knitting projects, whether in-progress, completed, planned, or just vaguely imagined. I've been knitting since mid-2003 and like to try new techniques. I rarely do the same project more than once. There are just too many other things I want to try.



In addition to knitting content, there will be plenty about my life and my family. I've been married for 9 years and we bought our house here in San Francisco 8 years ago. In September 2004, our only child, The Boy was born. I've been a SAHM since before The Boy was born, and plan on continuing to stay home at least until all our children (we're planning on at least one more; possibly more if the next one isn't a girl) are in school. Here I am with The Boy on his second birthday.




This is one of my favorite projects. It's a Dale of Norway hat I made for The Boy. It was my first attempt at stranded knitting and it came out pretty well. I started using floats and then switched to using the Philosopher's Wool woven method. Even though it's been "done" for months (maybe even a year), it still needs beaks and eyes embroidered on the ducks. I love it anyway! Here he is wearing it at the Pumpkin Patch in early October.





I'll update soon with more projects in progess, completed, and planned. There will also be adorable stories and yummy photos of The Boy.
