The Rebecca Shrug is officially dead. RIP. Frogged. Good God did I really start this thing over 18 months ago!?!?!? With high hopes too I might add. I’ll spare you the boring details but needless to say, it’s already been re-purposed. I LOVE when that happens! Read on… When Ali sent me a text requesting [...]

I presented expectant mother Maggie, the finished baby layette one week ago but I confess that I have been slow to post the finished photos – for a variety of reasons. The jacket was inspired by one I saw on the blog of EarthChicKnits. I thought it was so cool that I immediately cast on [...]

So far this year, in just January and February, I have managed to finish six pairs of socks…albeit *baby* socks.

Thanks to Antwan for taking a few minutes at halftime to model the latest baby sock for me. More to come. 2/8/10: I just learned that Chrissy Gardner has published a book entitled Toe-Up! and you can find out more about the book at its website. I took a class from Chrissy a few years [...]

As I was thinking about what to knit for two sets of expectant parents at my work (I work with the Dads) the idea to knit miniature socks suddenly popped into my head. This is my first pair of socks for 2010 and my first completed project for 2010. I am SO proud of myself [...]

I know that sounds like a cliché but in many ways it feels like the past 18 years have gone by in a nano-second. Here are my two children, Alice and Max, in 1991, when we first moved to Oregon. Alice was only about six months old in this photo. Seems like yesterday. *sigh* If [...]

preemie cap, originally uploaded by alicethelma. Last Friday I went to the Knit and Crochet show at the convention center in Portland, Oregon where I browsed vendors and tried hawking my t-shirts. Among the yarn vendors, stood a quiet little booth for Knit One, Save One, a program sponsored by Save the Children. I was [...]
