Too much cuteness

First off, here's a video of my daughter singing 'Happy Birthday' for me last Tuesday on my birthday.

 I love her version of famous songs. Her Alphabet Song is hilarious...According to her, there are only about seven letters, and the most important part of the song is the 'now I know my ABCs part...'. Still better than I did when I first learned it, I thought 'LMNOP' was one letter and that the 'and' of 'WXYandZ' was a letter.
We went to a birthday party yesterday and saw an amazing musician who made us some awesome balloon animals. Then we had a potluck at our house later than afternoon. Everyone (well all the kids) wore a costume, which was so beyond cute.

 Then this morning, we made playdough.

All in all this is a fairly random post, but...enjoy!

I've Been Published

My pattern for Eyelet Fingerless Mitts has been published! And not in one, but two other Blogs! (i didn't realize I had been published in Totally Tutorials until this morning, when I was looking at my stats.)
Nantucket Chronicle has asked me to do a column (for lack of a better word) with patterns, tips and tricks. I already have two more planned in my head. Check the article out
Totally Tutorials also published my pattern, yay!
I am so happy to be have my name out there in the Blogging world more. I am loving these opportunities.
(Oh and new learning opportunities - I discovered I've been spelling 'eyelet' wrong for ages now. I thought it was 'eyelit.') Happy Knitting All!

Lena Loo Legwarmers, and others

These are legwarmers I knit for my daughter. She's one fancy little girl - they're made from hand painted silk blend yarn. It's been lyring around for so long, I just had to use it. You can't tell from the pic, but they've got a lace and cable pattern on the front. They've got a ruffle on the end, and they're just epic. I only wish I made them a tad longer. They've been dubbed "Lena Loo Legwarmers", as her nickname is (one of the many, anyways) is Lena Loo.

Here's a pair of mitts I knit for my friend Danielle. I am so in love with them, I didn't want to give them to her. But as she paid me for them, I really had no choice.

In red as well. Oh, by the way, they're made with cashmere blend yarn. Yum!

All pretty and wrapped up.

The palm cable on the mitts. Shameless advertising - it can all be purchased at Natalie's Knits. Oh, I dyed my own yarn today. With Food Coloring. Mine didn't come out that bright, but I'm okay with that. It's a nice shell pink / Whitish variagated (sorry if the spelling is rubbish) wool, and I'm calling it Nantucket Red to fancy it up. In case you don't know what Nantucket Red is.
