FO Friday: Orange Hooded Scarf

I shared this as a WIP a week or so ago and it’s here today as an FO!  This scarf was a custom request and I really like how it turned out, and The Gentleman didn’t even do a bad job taking pictures of it

Trust me, it was colder than this picture would lead you to believe

doesn't that look cozy?

This hooded scarf was knit out of a variety of materials in colors ranging in the oranges and browns with a few creamy endeavors.  Now, it’ is on it’s way to Joshua Tree to keep the recipient warm and colorful.

long enough to wrap a few times

Un-Disappeared

Remember that small life I saved at work last week?

if he keeps hanging around, i should probably leave some food and water out...

S/he’s returned and has graced my desk with his/her presence, a good omen no?  Just seeing this little guy post-saving makes me all the more happy that I was able to see his plight and save his wee life

What brings you small doses of happiness?

Musical Monday: Somebody That I Used to Know

Welcome to another week here in 2012!  This week I’m sharing with you a song that caught my attention a few months back but is now starting to make the radio rounds here in Denver and really, it’s a phenomenal song and you should hear it too

Somebody that I Used to Know by Gotye

Saved a Life

Yesterday at work I was talking with a coworker and noticed this little guy upside down on the window sill furiously trying to right himself.  I lent a hand (well, finger really) to help him up and he was so exhausted and dusty he just kind of chilled there for a little while before I had to put him on my desk so that I could get back to work using both hands.

Ladybug, dusty and exhausted

Shortly after that, he disappeared and my good deed for the day was all but a memory and shoddy phone photo for proof.

Happy Friday! What are your weekend plans?

A Celebration

what are you celebrating?

WIP Wednesday: A Project of Warrior Proportions

Happy Hump Day!  The week is half over and the weekend is coming.  I’ve got a few different projects on the needles right now including the scarf from last week, a new hat on needles (still in baby phase) and a helmet that I’ll share the details with once I get over my frustration of uneven sewing jobs that I was too anxious to complete and now have to dis-complete (it’s a word. I’m too frustrated with the project for it not to be a word).

Musical Monday: A Message

Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a good weekend, productive, relaxing, whatever you needed it to be.  Today I’m sharing a song that I found a few years ago and still appreciate, the lyrics are clever and the music is purty

WIP Wednesday: In My ‘Hood

Happy Wednesday!  This week I’m sharing a project that’s been on needles for longer than it should have been but between getting a new day job and what not, it’s been my relaxing knitting and I don’t have as much time to relax.

comin' along

I’m making a scrappy orange version of a hooded scarf similar to the one I shared with you last week.  I really like this style of knitting, random and fun, using up lots of odds and ends of yarn and coming up with something 100% totally unique, cool, fun and one of a kind.

cozy colors, cozy fibers

*P.S. Are any of you having problems looking at yesterday’s post? I’ve gotten reports of a few people not being able to see the awesome picture but when I pull up my blog it works just fine…

A Family of Ninjas

I got this picture in the e-mail the other day and its made me smile every time I’ve thought of it since:

Meg bought the Long-Eared Beanie with PomPoms pattern from me and made enough for her entire family!  I just love the photo, it’s a great family portrait, don’t you think?
