My Weekend

I went to Stitches West, a knitting convention in Santa Clara - saw a bunch of friends I haven't seen in far too long, bought a lot of yarn and some pretty awesome Celtic knot buttons, but still stuck to my budget for the trip - and had an all around wonderful time. I went to Funderland with Oliver and Toby when I got back - I was only gone two days but I missed them both soooo much! Then we had dinner with my dad who came up for work in Sacramento tomorrow.

It was such an amazing weekend and I have so much to say about it - but, right now, I'm going to just upload a bunch of pictures so you can see them right away, and save the yaking for another day so I can get some much needed sleep.

Hope you had a great weekend too!!

Baby Sweater for Justina's Baby-to-be

My friend Justina is a knitter and pregnant with her first baby. They are waiting to find out the gender - so I went with a gender neutral color for the sweater. I also included another skein for Justina; to make herself a matching pair of socks, or a hat and booties for the baby, whatever. My friend Sabrina, from Fresno (Anzula Yarns) hand dyed the washable cashmere/merino blend yarn - and you can't tell from a picture, but it is soooo soft. It's perfect for baby knits. The soda can is there for scale, and "baby kitty" is there, because Toby was there when I was taking pictures.

Fruit and Veggie Box Week 2

The fruits and veggies are irresistible. Each time I try to take a picture, Toby swipes an apple from the box!

Fruit and Veggie Christmas

We joined a local farm's organic produce weekly delivery service and got our first box of fruits and veggies today - along with recipes and a weekly farm report. I am so excited! Everything in the box is just beautiful, and the apple we sampled was amazing. It pretty much rocks.
