Trish's World

I started this scarf on Monday and finished it yesterday. This particular pattern takes very little time and I really like the results. Of course, it’s kind of a hodge podge of texture but with a monochromatic color palette. I think it turned out pretty sweet.

I forgot yesterday to mention that I made a French press cozy for Mike’s dad for Father’s Day. I think he really liked it, but the best part was when he opened it and immediately put it on his head thinking it was a hat. He sort of looked like a G. Anyway, I busted [...]

Harold came over the other night! Mike & I saw him so we thre some carrots and some asparagus into the yard. Harold loves him some carrots. I actually got some decent photos! Can you believe it? In the second one he’s cleaning his face to get the carrot off. So cute.

I also want to [...]

Finished this earlier this week. I think it turned out really nice. I love the creams and whites together. It actually looks a lot cooler in person.

Just a quick post to show off some recently finished knits. First, a charity shawl that will be donated to a person on dialysis. We fondly call them Kidney Kozies.

Next up is the Azteca shawlette. I have made several of these, and I kept one for myself that is purple and pink. They are so [...]

I just finished this little mini-shawl, or shawlette. I love the colors. The creamy yellow reminds me of vanilla ice cream, and the pink and blue remind me of frosting, so I call this the Cake & Ice Cream Shawlette. These colors are so pretty for spring.

So what’s new with me? Hmmmm, let’s see.
First, I have been taking my vitamins and doing my workouts and I am actually getting to bed at a reasonable time at night – which is awesome news. My workouts are getting steadily better and longer which is also amazing news. So things are progressing and I [...]

Mike has been playing Little Big Planet on his PS3 and PSP for a few months. He really digs it, and he loves dressing his Sackboy (the game’s main character) up in different costumes and such. I happened upon a Sackboy knitting pattern several weeks ago, and I happened to have some yarn in my [...]

As of about 12:30 last night (or I guess this morning if you’re that kind of person), I am done with the big show, and I finally finished the last of the custom orders I was working on. That means that as far as knitting is concerned, I am a free agent! I took all [...]

I got home from the show last night around 9, and I was pretty much exhausted. I was very glad to get home and see Mike & my kitties and sleep in my own bed. I actually went to bed around 10:30 and decided to read a chapter of my book first. Mike came to [...]
