Friendship Story


Sometimes, best friends don't always start out that way.


A thoughtless remark, received with indignance...


and hearts grow cold.


But sometimes, differences can melt with proximity,


and after a while,


with unexpected kindness...


a stronger bond is formed than ever thought possible.


BFF- meant to be.

A Special Visit

On Tuesday both Elise and I enjoyed a visit from our favorite knitting graphic designer- Knitterella!... also known as Jill (and sometimes even Jillerella around our house).  It was so nice to spend the day talking yarn/patterns/designing- you know, the biz.  It was also Jill's first time meeting Elise- I could tell Elise was a big fan.

Could've had something to do with the amazing gift she brought:


which Elise promptly changed into and wore around town later in the day.  To read more about the visit (and the cute sweater/gift tags/etc) find Jill's post here.

For those too lazy to click who want to know what the pattern is- it's the Playful Stripes Cardigan from Never Not Knitting.

The Missing Piece(s)


This should shed some light on the mystery WIP from the other day.  Turns out, with just the funny looking leg pieces a few people were still able to figure out what I have been working on this week.   That's right- it's the Debbie Bliss Teddy Bear!

I have made this teddy once before, and although it does require a bit of seaming, I love the end result and know that it is totally worth the time and effort.  So, with darning needle in hand, baby in lap, and Netflix queue ready, looks like I have my afternoon planned out.  Gosh, I love maternity leave!
