What big ears you have…. What a long nose you have…. What itty bitty front teeth you have… If you are expecting the big bad wolf you won’t find him here. Unless of course you try to hurt her family they big bad Moolee will be on your tail! It’s my gentle protector, ever quiet ever faithful and ever protecting her herd. Feeling the love for my Molly girl!
Just in case you all think that we are frolicking around on bare grass with no snow in sight, think again! We suited T up, the wind was frigid, for a little trek on the 4 wheeler. She hates to wear her mittens, too restrictive maybe, so we pulled on a pair of mine which she enjoyed wearing. We headed up a logging road that was cut a few years… Read More »Wheelin | Celtic Cast On

T is filling it out nicely now so I thought I`d take the opportunity to get some modelled shots while it still fits.

Lately my knitting has been geared towards smaller projects, ones I can bang out in a day or two. Part of that reason is because I’ve sworn to cast nothing else on the needles until I get my Anne Spencer completed…… well….. Anne Spencer has pissed me off and I don’t know if you will ever get to see her. See mum was here the other night and in all… Read More »Itty Bitty’s | Celtic Cast On
I seem to be knitting everything in three’s as of late. By the third i’m definately ready for another project so its just as well i’m not knitting in four’s. These are the cutest little tissue socks I whipped up over my lunch break. Simple and small enough to mindlessly knit and finish within the day.
