One good thing about moving, if there’s anything good about moving, is uncovering long forgotten WIPs. Yes, unfinished projects I have many but I’m more committed than ever to finishing up some of these neglected gems. Looking back through the blog posts, it looks like I haven’t worked on this blanket in many years. With renewed vigor, I vow to complete at least one square per day. Well, I’m going to try anyway. Only 60 more squares to go!

BTW: My bag of the previous post came out really great – better than I expected. I’ll post pics soon – I promise!

Furiously trying to finish this project and I hope to have more photos for you tomorrow. Stay tuned!

I’m on a diet. Since yesterday. But this past weekend, before I began the restricted calories, I baked my favorite Pepperidge Farm turnovers and snapped a few photos using my new Hipstamatic lens and film. The lens is called “Loftus” after David Loftus, a well-known food photographer so it seemed only fitting. He’s got a very cool website; I’ve never seen anything like it.

Wow – my mouth is watering already.

I hope she likes it.

I’m furiously trying to finish this little baby jacket before the big baby shower next Saturday. I made the same jacket, from the pattern Easy Baby Cardigan, for another baby not too long ago. This time I’ve added the hood and it’s for a girl. I know it’s not the color we normally associate with baby girls but the expectant mother specifically requested that we all go easy on the pink. As it turned out, I happened to have a ball of my favorite sock yarn, Jitterbug, lying around, and that’s what I used.

This may very well be the last thing I ever knit – sadly. My fingers are stiff with arthritis and I’ve also got tennis elbow. Years of overuse from manic knitting and computer use along with advanced age, have created quite a bit of pain in my right hand and arm. I don’t think I’ll give it up altogether, but I’ll probably slow down significantly.

So what else shall I blog about?
