Just like his daddy, such a goofball.

Hugs when daddy got home from work

Something's stinky!

Hi, mama.

I'm being silly.

Such a ham

I can’t break out my camera without Camilla jumping in front of it. Some of the shots of her end up quite humorous, and others just plain cute. See for yourself. (click to enlarge)

We got the kids an easel – they love it! (Please ignore the mess.)

Wook! I'm painting!

See, Mi'a, this is how you draw.

Camilla wanted to use big brother as her canvas!

New.

Busy Needles!

Yep, I’ve had busy needles as of late!

A friend had a baby not too terribly long ago, and I made this for her as a babymooning gift:

Molly's Gifty

Pattern: Yvaine by Liz Abinante, somewhat modified — or Ravelled
Yarn: Wisdom Poems Sock
Needles: 5.0 mm (US 8) 16″ circular

I love the shawl pattern. It’s simple, versatile, and showcases yarn fabulously. I’m sure to make many (that was my second). Liz has a bunch of other awesome patterns that you should check out too.

Jellybean got some new Special Socks:

Jellybean's Special Socks - toe-up version

Pattern: Jellybean’s Special Socks by Crystal S. McDonald — soon available on my website & available now in my Ravelry store
Yarn: “Oh What A Beautiful Morning” on Culloden Sock by Three Irish Girls, and “Bells of Ireland” on Kells Sport by Three Irish Girls — both of which were exclusive Sock Yarnista Club colors
Needles: 2.5 mm 40″ Addi Turbos

I made my first lace shawl wherein I discovered I like nupps:

Swallowtail Shawl

Pattern: Swallowtail Lace Shawl by Evelyn Clark
Yarn: Malabrigo Lace
Needles: 4.0 mm 16″ circular

Camilla got an adorable new cardigan:

Sweet Pea's new cardi

Pattern: Baby Sweater on Two Needles (February) by Elizabeth Zimmerman, modified to have a stockinette body & short sleeves
Yarn: “Estuary” on Springvale DK by Three Irish Girls, an exclusive Dye For Glory colorway
Needles: 4.5 mm 16″ circular

JR got an awesome little jester hat, complete with bells (that I already have to replace):

JR's new hat

Pattern: Toddler Hat by Astrid Schramm
Yarn: “Estuary Brown” on Springvale DK by Three Irish Girls, a coordinating solid for the exclusive Dye For Glory colorway
Needles: 4.0 mm 16″ circular & DPNs

And now I have a handful of other projects on the needles but I’ll write about those another time!

Sock it to me!

Two new patterns are available!

Scrappy Sockdown – A Toe-Up Pattern and Jellybean’s Special Socks. These are Ravelry links, and these patterns will be made available in my website’s store soon.

Scrappy Sockdown – A Toe-Up Pattern is written as a basic sock but covers a huge variety of gauges, so it is SURE to fit your knitting style, yarn choice, and needle preference!

Jellybean’s Special Socks is a large baby/toddler/small child’s sock pattern, written for BOTH cuff-down AND toe-up construction!

Go check them out now so you too can load up your needles!

Here Fishy Fishy

I knit these over the last week. (It’s Carassius by Kristin Bellehumeur, from the Sock Yarnista Club by Three Irish Girls.)

Sooooo pretty. Love them.

Fronts of both socks

*smooch*

There are two fish kissing on the back of each leg

Love so much.

Born to Rock

That’s my boy. The rocker. The guitar player. The musician extraordinaire.

We saw Uncle Darrell when we were in Anchorage. Uncle Darrell has an awesome collection of electric guitars, and let JR play them. Now I’m certain that I’m going to have to get him one (and kiss the rest of my sanity goodbye).

Just loooook at this confidence. Wowza.
