One for the road...

A new Baby Bobbi Bear WIP.

Last night in a knitting frenzy (and while watching Dodgeball - don't ask) I obliterated the evidence of my modification/improvement - the provisional cast on! You should have seen it.

Illustrations are here, here, here, and here. Uber cool.
Worked like a dream and now he is totally SEAMLESS!

In other news, don't forget to stop by the Ester Knit-a-long site.
Still time to sign up!

Man, I'm stuffed!

Baby Bobbi Bear progress.

He's so stinking cute, even while doing his Edward Scissorhands impersonation.

Will complete tonight and start the next one.
To my beret obsession I've added bears.


The next beret. Nice spring colors. I highly recommend the Koigu KPPM.
And knitting berets :-)


KnitPicks Main Line arrives for the Ester KAL.
Three Musketeers thus far. Christina Marie has joined! I'm so super excited!! Excessive-use-of-exclamation marks excited!!!!!

Check out her blog. Email me or comment if you're in. Strength in numbers. That kind of thing.

Reminder - we cast on May 1.


Also picked up some of their discontinued "Dancing" fingering weight. I love this for socks and am really disappointed it is no longer.
It's slightly tubular (like, totally) and springy.

Got enough for 2 adult pairs and 1 kids pair per color. Then I'm on a quest for a cost-efficient replacement. I love the Lorna's but it's a little tough on the wallet. Suggestions?


It's snowing AGAIN! But a couple of days ago - a veritable flurry of robins. Our whole yard was peppered with them. Too bad I don't have a wide angle lens.

Ester KAL

Aside from the fact that it snowed night before last (Hello! It's April)

and I live just about as far from wisteria as possible (sadness)

the news in nuttnland is the making of a Knitalong.

(or should I say a "nuttalong"!)

Jessicah from Spinning a Yarn and I have been brewing it for a while now.

Time to pull the proverbial trigger.

Ester KAL!!!

New to knitting and want something to stretch your wings??

Cable experts who want to cable w/o cable needles?

Just looking for kicks and giggles?

Come one, come all.

Won't you join us? We'll be so happy.

My yarn is ordered (blueberry, baby!).

True to the pattern notes, we've both chosen purplish yarns.

But don't feel constrained.

Tell your friends and neighbors! Blog boldly.

Email me (nuttnbunny at hotmail dot com) or comment to sign on.

Registration deadline is April 30. We cast-on May 1.

NO big pressure here. The goal is to complete for use this fall.

Stretch it to winter if you like.

Say "May 2" if you need that kind of deadline.

If enough folks enroll we'll create a blog for us all. Otherwise I'll track participants in my sidebar and post progress on folks behalf

(unless someone wants to counsel me otherwise).
