"B" for Me

BUTTONS in a BOTTLE:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More BUTTONS on a sweater I made ages ago:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I bought the buttons before I ever considered the sweater.

 

Cat BORDHI and her BOOK, and the resulting BASKET of socks:

"B" is for...

BOYS.  And my boys find BUTTS particularly amusing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They are  BOY SCOUTS BACKPACKING on BIG BLUE, looking out over BOSTON.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 BIONICLES are cool, especially the giant ones constructed from Legos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BASKETBALL takes up most Saturdays.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next time, it'll be "B for Me!"  LOL

This is Neat...
I just got my current Readers' Digest, and read a little bit on page 18 about a group of knitters in Houston "recycling" some UFOs.  Check them out here.  Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

"A" is For Acrylic

I'd been thinking about this "ABC - along" thing, and what I might decide to do for the letter "A".  I was perusing blogland and came across this nifty little quiz, and figured I'd take it.  So, here's my result:

What kind of yarn are you?

You are Acrylic.While you are very versatile, your plasticky countenance can be offputting. You are very good with children but can become a pill if left alone with them too long. You are very flexible but don't give in to manipulation.
Take this quiz!

Hmmm...not entirely sure how I feel about this....

I'm a Bad Blogger
Mood:  spacey

Well, not so much that, as I've been in a REALLY whiney mood lately, and I don't really want to whine here.  Wine, sure, along with some really nice cheese, but this crankiness isn't fair to anyone.  So, I'll continue with my attitude adjustments (no wine involved, but if you wanted to buy me a glass, I'd not likely say no...) and try again when I can type without growling...

 And the other thing is that I really need to remember to use the camera!  I made a huge pile of dishcloths for Christmas presents, and didn't photograph a one.  And several pairs of socks, two stoles, a wonderful pair of Fetching mitts for my sister-in-law, and various swap packages all went off without a snap first.  Gotta get my head on straight!  LOL

 

 

Who links to me?

French Toast and White Things

 

 

You'll have to go there and check it out.  I'll wait...

And here I thought that one purchased these items (in additon to toilet paper and Fluff) because they were white, like the snow.  Ok, so around here the eggs are brown, but you get the point, right?

Yankee Candle Basket Fest

Not a lot of time to write - I'm at the Longaberger Yankee Candle Basket Fest at the Yankee Candle Flagship store in South Deerfield, MA.  If you're in the area, come check it out!  The Basket Fest runs through Monday, December 10.   If you tell me that you're coming, I'll make sure to have a goodie bag waiting for you.

 Make a basket (some walk-in spots still available), shop the Factory Store for retired and revered items, and indulge your candle passion.

Can't make it?  Shop online here.

 Pictures will be posted when the computer and I are on more friendly terms....

Hope to see you in Deerfield!

Tops 'N' Toes

Yes, actual "handcrafted" content.  First, the lovely Mock Cable Baby Hats I made for my husband's friend's first baby. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The purple one is made from Mission Falls 1824 wool (100% merino superwash), color #023 Amythest, and the green is Debbie Bliss cashmerino aran, color #300501 (no name given, but a lovely sage).  Whipped these up in no time.

Next up, we have my first real socks.  I'd started these just to try the "Simple Sock" from Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles, by Cat Bordhi.  I loved the idea of using just the two sets of circular needles - less chance for me to drop something while on the train, right?  Well, I started them for me, since I figure it's not really fair to subject someone else to my experimentation, but Gavin saw them and simpy assumed they were meant for him.  Why?  "Mommy", says he, "these socks are camouflage, so obviously they're for me!  Can't fight logic, so here are Gavin's socks:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Done in Lang Yarns JAWOLL Color (#132.0196).

Then, Connor wanted socks, too.  Same yarn, different color (#132.0204).  I only got a picture of the first one, just after I started it.  He's got his HUGE feet in the pair now, and I can't get a shot..maybe later.
