Happy Birthday Noah!

One year and about half an hour from typing this post my little Noah was born! It's been a great year and he has had a pretty fun birthday so far if I do say so myself! Calls and visits from friends and family - including Sally! She made him some pretty awesome tie-dyed shirt with appliques of dogs on them (he thinks dog are pretty awesome right now) and a little lovey blanket. Here's a collage of the afternoon...oh and he's wearing his birthday sweater too! It turned out great and I know it's going to get lots of wear.


After finishing his sweater I went ahead and cast on a hat for myself! I am super happy with how it turned up and will be writing up the pattern. I used a superwash merino dk weight yarn from Becoming Art that I had purchased from Sock Summit for just this purpose. Now I am back to working on the Jeanne shawl that I am doing for Funky Carolina! It is just cruising along and is a very enjoyable knit - more on that later but here is a little sneak peek pic for now!
All in All Monday had proven to be a good predictor of the week! I hope it stays that way!

A hat and vest

Finishing a project is always so satisfying! Here are two of my latest....



Wow even more great moving suggestions keep popping up! I love reading them all! I will be staying in Anchorage - so it shouldn't be too big of an upheaval. Though I have never moved with children before, so ask me after the move for a more accurate description ;P

So many great pics have been popping up on the Phat Fiber Rav boards! I have loved seeing everyone's boxes and I really hope that the next post you read will be a description and pics of my box!! I can't wait for it to show up!!

Oh yeah, and I am feeling a little lazy tonight about project details....I have more info on my ravelry page....sorry about that!

action photos!

So I couldn't wait for Easter and badly wanted my boys to wear their vests today! So they did! I sewed the button's on Noah's vest this morning and they are a perfect fit! I will definitely be ordering from Wooden Treasure's again! (In fact they are a Phat Fiber Contributor and are doing a give away contest right now!) The boys both seemed pretty comfortable in the wool and Corbin loved pointing out "his vest" and "Noah's vest". I am totally brain washing him to love hand knit items, I talked to him the entire times that I was knitting his, showing it to him, having him feel it. It was awesome! So here are some photo's of them both in their vests, taken just earlier this evening! (Don't mind the drool marks from Noah ;P )
