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.

Crazy summer!

This has been one busy summer! Quickie update...Brendan is growing and happy and healthy as always. He transitions to the pre-Kindergarten room in August. I've completed a few knitting projects and am currently on a baby sweater. Work for Marc and I continues on. I'll post photos of the knitted items and other stuff soon.

Jury duty

This past week I served on a jury in a "road rage" trial. We rendered our verdict of guilty on all charges this morning: reckless driving and assault with a deadly weapon (being the car). After the trial was over, I had a chance to speak to the defending attorney and now I feel sick to my stomach. There were details not admitted during the trial that would have left me voting not guilty had they been admitted. I can't stop thinking about this man that is now going away to prison for a long time...god help me and him...
