Time for some spring cleaning, beginning with my wool winder and swift on eBay. E-mail me with any questions. Signing off, for real. And of course, the store blog.

But, a good year nonetheless. And now that summer is here, I finally have some time to myself. Well, time to myself including Alice and Eugene obviously.

So I took advantage of the last 80 degree day my part of Upstate New York will probably see this year to snap some pictures of my new scarf and gloves. Noro Fingerless Mitts by Michelle Molis.

Monday, January 19, 2009. Came along to join their beehive. The purl beehive is a collection of crafty blogs all hosted by squarespace. And collected on a page together through the smart crafty people of Purl. You can read more about the beehive here. And check out the other members by clicking the beehive on the right.

Blooming tea, a gift from my friend Gillian. It is so beautiful and delicious! White challah bread with an egg and honey glaze. I let it rise extra long so the texture is especially fluffy. Rustic apple galette with raisins and almonds. Easy to make and soo mouthwatering.

A sewing, knitting, felting and crochet blog by Mirela Popovici. This year it has a red roof, yummy spices inside with honey. Got an upgrade with candy window glass and a high tech LED candle flickering through the glass. Time for a quick hand made needle felted poppy purse for a Christmas present. A quick sew from the latest Burda top sewing.

Knit, lit, and general nerdery. Wee babe in mind, and it should fit her eventually. I think I need to find a new model for baby hats.

Thursday, July 28, 2011. Moving to a different blog service. Monday, July 18, 2011. I love cutting paper snowflakes, with twelve folds and six symmetrical points. This knitted snowflake looks very much like one of my paper ones. Casting on for the center of a doily. Multiple yarn-overs in a row.
