Max the Monkey: March 2008
http://max-themonkey.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 19, 2008. Happy St. Patricks Day everyone. Here are some lovely new photos of Max in Photo-mode. Max had a very eventful weekend with lots of company. Then on Monday night, we had Chris and Carolyn over for Corned beef and cabbage. Here's our cabbage and corned beef dinner. Go Irish! He was so excited everyone was wearing green. He pointed to everyone's shirts one by one. And he'd run up to us and say "Green". Tuesday, March 4, 2008. Ah we miss you daddy. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Max the Monkey: August 2008
http://max-themonkey.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 6, 2008. Playdate at the Lake. OK Max, toughen up. Learn how to swim. He did really well. We came home and went swimming with daddy to wash beach off. He wanted to get in the pool with no floaties. He also wanted to swim on his, not realizing he doesn't know how to swim or float without arm floaties. We'll work on that! You're fearless. And I almost went into labor. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Playdate at the Lake. Other Places I like to visit.

Dandelion Blu: June 2009
http://dandelionblu.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Just dropping in on the blogosphere to let you all know I am still here and still with child! My midwife says any day now in the next 2.5 weeks- but I feel (and hope! Sooner. We took this picture a couple of weeks ago so the belly is even more enormous! Hopefully the next time I post will be pictures of the sprout! What I'm working on. Here are a few pictures of "Sprouts" new room! My take on the bird mobile from the Spool blog. My grandfather built the little shelves for me when I was a baby. In fact it...

The Golden Iris: Bonsai
http://golden-iris.blogspot.com/2012/09/bonsai.html
Wednesday, September 12, 2012. Over the weekend was the Art and Wine Festival. This means street closures, insane traffic, noise, and the questionable aroma of grilling sausage filling my house for 8 hours a day. Of course it also means booths full of all kinds of stuff. Usually I end up buying a piece of jewelry, but the piece I fell in love with turned out to be way, way out of my price range. So I brought home this little guy instead. Anybody out there ever tried to grow a bonsai tree? I had to re-kni...

The Golden Iris: More Conic
http://golden-iris.blogspot.com/2012/09/more-conic.html
Wednesday, September 19, 2012. I have finished knitting the back of my Conic. I love the way the silk in this yarn catches the light. Right now Conic has to be on hold for a little while as I catch up on some sample knitting. But soon I'm looking forward to getting started on the sleeves and enjoying some easy knitting in the round. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Denver Cowl - Free! Brighton cowl - $6.

The Golden Iris: Color Affection
http://golden-iris.blogspot.com/2012/10/color-affection.html
Wednesday, October 17, 2012. It's finished - FINALLY! I am now one of the over 3,800 people who've finished one of these (at least according to Ravelry. I had no idea how long the last rows were until I bound off, washed it, and threw it on the floor to block. My highly technical blocking method: throw it on a sheet on the floor. A very sweet little girl learning to knit at one of the knitting groups I go to asked, "do you even KNOW how many stitches are on your needle right now? Denver Cowl - Free!

The Golden Iris: New Christmas Stockings
http://golden-iris.blogspot.com/2011/12/new-christmas-stockings.html
Thursday, December 29, 2011. Kind of. Like [seemingly] every other knitter out there, I couldn't manage to finish my Christmas knitting on time. Simon's got finished. mine did not. Thankfully Santa understands knitters and filled my [half-knit, still on the needles] stocking anyway. These stockings are from the pattern collection A NEW Family Portrait. Looks wrong - there's too much white against the green pattern and it's drowning it out. I got a couple other gifts (all socks) done in time. Some are...

The Golden Iris: Christine's Stay-on Baby Booties
http://golden-iris.blogspot.com/2012/01/christines-stay-on-baby-booties.html
Wednesday, January 11, 2012. Christine's Stay-on Baby Booties. I'm at the age where it seems like everyone around me is having a baby. I won't go into how terrifying that is. We'll just stick to the knitting part - baby booties, the best quick and easy baby gift there is. Whenever I have to make baby booties, I use one pattern. I don't try new things. I even violate my rule of 'never knit the same thing twice' [okay except maybe for plain socks] because this pattern just works. Contrast soles, yay! I fin...
