Last year was the year of weddings.  I think I went to six or seven of them.   And now, this is the year of babies.
So far, one friend has had her second baby in 2009 and I now have four other preggo friends.
This means baby knitting.  I always like to pick a bit of something [...]

Guinness Molasses Beer Bread and more good stuff.

Last night, I whipped up some Guinness Molasses Beer Bread.  There was one last bottle of Guinness in the fridge, leftover from the Chocolate Stout Cupcakes, the Roast Leg of Lamb recipe, St. Patrick’s Day drinking and the random Guinness fix now and again.
One 12oz bottle was perfect to use to make it so off [...]

Stress.

Last week I attempted to close on my refinance for my house.  This meant a lot of things to me, one of which being one step closer to feeling some independence in my situation.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I hope you all have a great day and a lot of fun no matter what you do.  I think P and I will have some fun in the kitchen cooking up some Irish inspired dishes to celebrate the day!
Also, thinking of a new tattoo…a celtic symbol that wraps my name into the meaning too.  [...]

Believe it or not, more knitting content! GASP

P’s brother had a birthday this weekend and I figured that as a gift I would whip out a hat.
I used my stand by favorite, Lamb’s Pride bulky and whipped out  a nice cabled cap.
Behold, the Cabled Hat of Awesomeness (and no, I’m not kidding, that’s really the name of the pattern):

What I’ve been up to, Part 2.

TGIF everyone!  This was quite a week.  I was suppose to be in Kansas again but due to some flight delays in Boston on Monday, I got permission to stay home and help out remotely.  It worked out pretty well on my end.
So, in continuing to blog about my knitting projects, I’ll show some WIPs [...]

What I’ve been up to, Part 1.

I had packed up a lot of stuff (read:  wool and yarn) and sent it to my parent’s house for a while so that I could figure out where to put it.  I assumed I’d be moving from my house at the time.  Even though I’m now not moving, I did not yet take the [...]
