stayed for a few days before flying back to New Jersey and we did some
touristy things like go to the Space Needle, check out the Public Market
and stick our gum to the "Gum Wall" in Post Alley. She left me feeling
fortunate to have such a good friend/sister and looking forward to
seeing one another again. </span></span></span></span></span></span>yesterdaydreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14096486739405709135noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204198182926001081.post-1911180349404909032014-10-24T19:17:00.005-04:002014-10-24T19:17:38.140-04:00Beanie Hats!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This one is an alternate version of my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/basic-ribbed-hat-8" target="_blank">Basic Ribbed Hat</a> pattern. Instead of doing the 2x2 ribbing, I changed it to 1x1 ribbing. </span></span></div>

some pretty yarns and here I go!</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span>Finding a
simple pattern for two-up "two-at-a-time" with an afterthought heel
was a bit of a challenge so I did a combination of the <a href="http://heidibearscreative.blogspot.com/2011/10/two-socks-at-time-on-one-circular.html" target="_blank">cast-on and toe-up from Heidi Bears</a> and since I'm making
this pair for my Mom who has smaller feet, worked it up to only 56 stitches
instead of the typical 64 around. Heidi Bears had a great diagram on her post as well
to make this easier.</span> <span>The
rest of the sock will be based on the pattern from <a href="http://www.loopknitlounge.com/2013/05/lots-of-socks/" target="_blank">Loop Knit Lounge</a> which
includes the afterthought heel and it is written for 48, 56 or 64 stitches.
Perfect. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span>For these
socks, I'm using <a href="http://www.knitpicks.com/" target="_blank">Knit Picks</a>
Stroll Fingering "Make Believe" and <a href="http://blackmarketwool.com/" target="_blank">Black Market Wool</a>'s The
Milo "Room Without A Window” to create my own stripes. I plan on doing the
toes, three stripes, the heel and the upper band of the sock in the aqua and
the rest in the purple-ish blend. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span>The photo above marks one day's knitting in my spare time! How nice will it be to have two finished at the same time?</span></span></span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I will admit here and only once that my first adult pair of socks took me about two and a half years to complete. It was all because of that second sock. Call it "second sock syndrome" or whatever you'd like. They traveled across The United States! The yarn used for these was <a href="http://www.lionbrand.com/" target="_blank">Lion Brand</a>'s Sock-Ease Prints in "Lemon Drop" and perhaps I chose the wrong project for them but these are referred to as my "Ugly Socks" now. I started the second sock's ribbing incorrectly and had to redo the whole thing. It was traumatic and I felt defeated but I pushed on. Happy I finally finished them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Here they are:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">They really have been! Just yesterday, I was at the lake with my son Kevin and we enjoyed walking around, absorbing the beautiful Autumn colors. This is our "peak week" and it seems as if each leaf is a different color. To me, it's so important to get out and experience the seasons and all they bring with them before they pass you by. Too many people tend to complain their way through these spectacular days.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">The gardens here have been cleaned up and readied for the cooler weather but inside, I've found myself baking cookies, cakes and biscuits. Lots of small things for the guys to snack on or bring along with them for the cooler days. I baked an apple spice cake last night but they finished it before I could snap a photo to share with you.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I recently found Anna Hrachovec's pattern for <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tiny-chickens" target="_blank">Tiny Chickens</a> and they've been so fast and fun to knit up. Some of you who recently received orders may have found one. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In making these little cuties, I've come up with a quick add-on tail for them. You can easily use different colors and skip the comb at the top of their head to have the look of many other birds. Below is my version of a pigeon, made using this very pattern. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">I'm enjoying the day babysitting for my twin nieces and their older brother Alex. He and I enjoy learning new crafts together so, while his sisters napped, we made "Magic" Crayons. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">It's a quick and easy kids' craft: Take the
ugly, broken crayons from your collection, remove their paper wrappers,
break into smaller pieces and place inside a muffin tin. You can do each one multiple colors or solid colors. Bake in a
preheated 275°F oven for ab<span class="text_exposed_show">out ten minutes or until they're melted. Once cooled, they should pop out.<br /> <br /> Alex was enjoying seeing them melt through the oven window and this is a great way to teach children how to recycle<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> and re-use old, broken objects. </span></span></span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">I've done it!

It's been in my queue for far too long and I was inspired by <a href="http://ladybughillfarm.me/" target="_blank">Thea</a><a href="http://ladybughillfarm.me/" target="_blank"> at Ladybug Hill Farm</a>. The photos from her instagram feed were wonderful. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">It consists entirely of 3 inch "hexipuffs" made from sock wool. It's pretty difficult not to quickly become addicted to these squishy hexagons. This is all I've finished so far, having just started yesterday. These make for a perfect small traveling project as they take up very little space in a purse or bag and knit up very quickly.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">They are a great way to use up some of those tiny bits of wool from other projects. </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">You know you have some of those pretty little scraps wound up in your stash, come on. This quilt is going to take some time and I'm looking forward to creating some custom hexipuffs to make my quilt very personal. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

the number of stripes. He is fun for children of any age. More photos <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/66851059/slithery-hand-knit-cotton-snake-purple" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Happy 2013! I've officially become one of those bloggers who doesn't really update often enough.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I've been doing some gardening!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">To the left is sunflowers, soon-to-be 15' tall with some shorter ones mixed in to cover the taller stems and look full. Behind that is my cucumber teepee. It's shorter, but I chose bushing pickle-sized because I'm planning to learn how to make my own pickles. My brother gave me a copy of <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8527185-canning-for-a-new-generation" target="_blank">Liana Krissoff's CANNING for a New Generation</a> and there are so many pickle recipes to try out. I'm probably leaning towards her Quicker Kosher Dills recipe for my first try.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The seedless grapes are on the far wall hanging on an upcycled trellis (made from an old glass door) and in front of that are several varieties of tomatoes, Thai basil, Greek oregano, English thyme, dill (for the pickling), parsley, lettuce, swiss chard, and sweet peppers. To the right is the raspberries and a "supersonic" tomato. The last "supersonic" I had a few years ago kept fruiting until October! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It's a small garden, but it feeds us all summer with enough to load up other family members too! There are no chemicals and it's mulched with grass clippings to keep it moist and keep the weeds out.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I would have to say getting out to explore the simple things around me. In this case, I've had my eye on an abandoned house close by. It sits on private property so I don't want to share the exact name or location to assure it will remain free of vandals. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I can't help but imagine the families who lived here and wonder why this old beauty was left to decay and have birds roost in the upper levels. When something interests me, I need to learn more about it and I did find out this farm was established in the 1870's by a wealthy tobacco manufacturer. The stables here were one of the dominant racing stables in the 1920's, bringing victories in both the Kentucky Derby and three Belmont Stakes. Today, the farmland around this structure is a self-sufficient stock farm, producing its own grain and supplying other farms as well. It is owned by a wealthy family who chooses to remain private and limit visitors. </span></div>
