A Birthday!

My Precious had just had a birthday Monday. As always, he wanted a quiet celebration. So unlike his younger days, when 10 or more little terror guests, mostly boys, were invited. Now, it’s only a family affair.
Last Saturday, part of his gifts was to drive him anywhere he wanted. There was a limit to distance, of course. He [...]
Finished Object (FO) #3 ~ Lizard Ridge Afghan
Posted in Finished Objects (FO), gifts, knitting, yarn & fiber on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Remember this and this in regards to Lizard Ridge?
Well, it’s done! Seven months in the making! Phew!
Special Notes:
Try not to use darker yarn, specially ones that need to be sewn together many times over. It’s hard on my poor getting-older eyesight.
Instead of 28 squares, I added 2 more to make a 5-square, 6-row afghan. Big enough [...]

Finally!
Buttons sewn on.
Shrugs sent off to Mom and OS (Oldest Sis) yesterday.
Now, I’ll just finish YS’ (Youngest Sis) red shrug this weekend and it already has buttons waiting to be sewn on. Buttons are totally different from the ones on my Mom’s and OS’ shrugs.
Also, I finished My Precious’ afghan over the weekend. Right now, [...]

KIP #4 was completed 2 weeks later than target completion time of April 25th.
I wanted to keep this tank top for myself but I owe my dear college friend this one. AWR will be surprised, but she deserves it. She remembered my birthday, but I forgot hers and didn’t even send her any card nor called [...]

Falling Leaves Top, 2009KIP#1
Posted in Finished Objects (FO), knitting, yarn & fiber on Sunday, February 15, 2009 | 3 Comments »
The Falling Leaves top (tunic) is done! There was a mention of it at an earlier posting.
Knitting the pattern was totally fun. It was unbelievably easy to follow the instructions (by the way, it’s for intermediate level). Lily allowed me to complete the project in 1.5 months, but I was able to finish (the knitting [...]

There’s a guilty feeling that not enough yarn-related subjects are posted here when the title of my blog reads Yarn Hungry.
Fear not! I have been knitting, but with not too many proofs.
Remember this? Well, here’s the finished product.
Shrug, Lamb’s Pride Bulky Cranberry Swirl (couldn’t find Noro Iro anywhere in any of the LYS)
This shrug is [...]
