Fall on the lakes

Scotch eggs- I'm officially a fan

ipad cozy for Harold

Made from some home dec Nicole gave me, fusible fleece interfacing, and a cotton fat quarter I had lying around. I had to make it twice- the first attempt was slightly too narrow- now a kindle cozy. There's a pocket on the inside per harold's request.

Biking to Tiburon

Harold and I biked to tiburon today. Surprisingly easy on my three speed. Finished the ride with margaritas and guacamole at Guaymas and a ferry ride home. Hurrah!

Christmas 2008

resolutions for 2008

Hmmm.... These historically never work out for me, but here are some...

1. Continue the downward trend in yarn aquisition. I'm not saying I'm not buying, but hopefully I'm buying less and using it.
2. Finish the blanket out of Mainline sometime next year. If I don't resolve to finish it, it could hang around for years.
3. Try to start Christmas knitting early and to resist the temptation to give those gifts early.
4. Finish projects that were started in 2007- no UFO's older than 1 year!
5. Try to use my sweaters' worth of donegal tweed, eco wool, classic elite provence, and matchmaker merino. These yarns have been in my stash for TOO LONG.
6. Make a lace shawl. I've never done this.
7. Try toe up socks. Never done this either.

I made this a while back in November for my nephew's birthday. I used the Blue Sky Alpaca's Bobbi Brown Bear pattern. 1.5 skeins of classic elite lush, plus some leftover brown malabrigo for the face, size 7 needles. He turned out pretty cute! Now the rest of his brothers and sisters want one.
