Say something, somewhere, about how she thinks decreases look prettier than increases and I would have to agree, after really thinking about it.

Yesterday was Julian's second birthday. It seems that every day he communicates a little clearer. I have been waiting for those moments since we knew we were expecting. Sometimes I can not believe that the little stories spilling from his mind are comprehendible, what treasures! Watching his personality unfold is one of the greatest rewards of parenthood for me. Hoping you had a lovely Christmas, and wonderful new year! Thanks for reading,. Posted by Kirstin Anne. Busy busy. busy. Fun fun. fun.

Kalanag: Knitting
http://kalanagknit.blogspot.com/p/knits.html
Earth and Seas Cowl. July 24, 2012 at 2:09 PM. I LOVE your knits! I knit with a loom which is totally cheating but I was going to try to learn crochet this year. Do you have any experience with crochet and, if so, do you recommend either over the other? I got pretty frustrated trying to self-teach and my needle may or may not have ended up thrown across the room. ;). July 25, 2012 at 6:47 PM. First, I want to thank you for reading!

Sunshine in a Jar. Have I ever told you about the market here in Chicago, on North Ave, Stanley's? It's sort of infamous around here, especially with recently graduated hipster foodies with tiny budgets (it takes a lot of money to look so minimalistic! Last weekend I picked up a few pounds of organic lemons ($3 for five pounds) for two recipes I wanted to try out of. Canning for a new Generation. Honey, Thyme and Coconut Scones. 2 c unbleached all purpose flour. 1 tbsp baking powder. 1/3 c whole milk.

http://kalanagknit.blogspot.com/2013/06/you-dont-have-to-tell-me.html
You Dont Have to Tell Me. Let's set the scene. I have the new baby in the ergo (Vivian, 6 months, the sweetest little thing I started nannying, don't worry I didn't have a baby and not tell you about it), and in the other hand I have a flopping, long haired, peanut butter schmered alligator in human form dangling from him arm, doing what his father has deemed "the death rattle", screaming "TRAINS! I WANT THE TRAINS! They tell you all about horror labor stories, 12th (! He wasn't acting terrible at all!

So, a scarf or cowl was out of the question. My sweet friend Elise. Just made her husband a pair of socks. Well, the next day I find them all stretched out and looking worn.
