Domestic Knitter Designs: Finally Finished!
http://domesticknitter.blogspot.com/2012/02/finally-finished.html
Tuesday, February 7, 2012. Yay, it's been less than a month since my last post! I finally got the kids to go down for their nap, so I can update you on what I've gotten done around here. I started this pair of socks at some point while I was pregnant with Sebastian to carry along to doctors' appointments. As each holiday approached, I thought "I can get these socks done and use them as a gift! My little monkey. :) I'm thankful that she loves nightgowns! Whenever I fold their wash while they're playing, s...

Friday, January 20, 2012. FO Friday - Catching Up! I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted! I hope you all had great holidays. Everything since October has seemed like a blur. I had a lot of self-imposed deadlines to meet during the holidays. I didn't get sweaters knit for the kids.or any of their quilts finished (although I'm halfway done quilting Sebastian's quilt). I did manage to get a few things done though. We were a little apprehensive about seeing Santa this year. Trying to get b...

Domestic Knitter Designs: Easter Dress!
http://domesticknitter.blogspot.com/2012/04/easter-dress.html
Thursday, April 12, 2012. So much for posting regularly, huh? Robert and Caitlyn have been on a semi-nap-strike. Some days they'll nap well, some days only one of them will nap, some days they'll nap at different times, and some days they won't nap at all. Then I have to work Sebastian's day around that! I feel like I just need one more hour in the day to get everything done.still working on how to fit that in. ;). This was also my first hat! Pattern: Simplicity 5695. I have a pile of fabric that I've o...

Domestic Knitter Designs: I've Been Knitting!
http://domesticknitter.blogspot.com/2012/02/ive-been-knitting.html
Thursday, February 23, 2012. First, let me show you what I got done for Valentine's Day this year! Sorry for the bad picture - we just got a new desktop computer and I haven't figured out how to edit photos yet. These are boxer shorts! From Star Wars comic book fabric! I saw a shelf of Star Wars fabric by the register (JoAnn's actually just posted about it on their Facebook page this morning! I picked this print because my husband loves both Star Wars and comic books. I used this tutorial. By the twist a...

Domestic Knitter Designs: Outside My Comfort Zone
http://domesticknitter.blogspot.com/2011/10/outside-my-comfort-zone.html
Monday, October 24, 2011. Outside My Comfort Zone. I managed to get the obnoxiously bright quilt top finished before Sebastian arrived. It was also the last thing I finished before my sewing machine conked out again. It's still not in the budget to take it in for service, but thanks to the generosity of some freecyclers, I ended up with two new-to-me and working sewing machines! I'm so thankful and excited to get back to sewing! Colorful enough without adding extra borders! I think I'm going to try to fi...

Domestic Knitter Designs: FO Friday - Want to play a matching game?
http://domesticknitter.blogspot.com/2012/03/fo-friday-want-to-play-matching-game.html
Friday, March 23, 2012. FO Friday - Want to play a matching game? The kids really aren't feeling preschool today, and who could blame them with the gorgeous weather we're having! I decided to let them take a break and do a quick post about my new FO. "Want to play a matching game? Is what Robert says every time he pulls out the bin, so I thought it was a fitting title. This is a felt and fabric memory game based on this. That I'm working on. I'm thinking about adding more squares, but we'll see. With cra...
