Dragon wrist bands



I created this pattern from the dragon on some of my karate school's shirts. It looks better on the shirts, but still ok. I redid the pattern so that the dragon is about half the size. Hopefully that will look a bit better.

Bowling with four-year-olds!




Brendan's preschool and the preK kids went to the bowling alley this past Friday. The kids had a lot of fun and everyone was exhausted when it was all over, including me!

Score at Filati's awesome sale!


I scored all this fabulous yarn at Filati's this past weekend. Elsbeth Lavold, Cotton twist, Adrienne Vitadini, etc. I'm on a year-long yarn diet, but this is my one exception. Yarn IS joy! Giggling...

Brendan's hat and mittens set



I made this set for my son. He chose the color. Knitted with Patons Meloday. Hmmm...I seem to knit with it a lot, huh? :)

Baby girl jacket



Finished this hooded, baby girl's jacket last week. I used Patons Melody in a lovely purple. I added some "confetti" yarn to the cuffs and might add more to the hood, too.

Tile mosaic mounted!


The tile mosaic is now on the wall...but needs to be framed properly. If you have ideas, email me!!! See April 21, 2007 post for a close-up photo.

Recently completed knitting



The variegated halter top was knitted using all cotton yarn. The twirled halter top was knitted using a polar weight cotton/nylon yarn. The baby kimono was knitted using some of the acrylic yarn I inherited from my grandmother. No intended recipient, just wanted to knit a baby top. I'm in the process of finishing a purple hooded jacket for a baby using Patons Melody.
