Today I bought some new yarn that’s so pretty I had to take a picture of it before winding it. I decided to take advantage of the amazingly sunny day by photographing some WIPs as well. (Don’t be too jealous of the weather – even though the sky and sun are gorgeous, it’s [...]

Incredibunny ended up being a New Year’s gift. Here’s a little photo essay of yesterday’s antics…

Blurry kitchen floor rolling.
The foot stomp (and a cool reflection in the mirror).
Incredibunny is the fourth kitty gift I’ve knitted, and I think he’ll be just as “loved” as the won ton, [...]
