New Yarn!

"Monster in the Lily Pond" by Dancing Dog Dyeworks as part of the 3 month Monster Mania Club 2.


I see a Harold monster in this yarn's future.

Beekeeper Quilt, week two check in

Week two brings me up to 20 puffs. I tried embroidering one and am planning on a whole bunch of charted puffs next week!

Sunset at the cabin

It's cool out now... definately not 'summer' cottage weather anymore. Fall isn't coming, it's here! When we are out at the lake, the leaves are changing colour and we wear our fleece sweaters and put a thermal blanket on the bed at night.

We didnt go out there this weekend. I needed a weekend at home to do some cleaning, laundry and catch up errands etc. I need to dig out all my cool weather clothes!

Hubby went out for the day with one of his friends to do a little yard work and winterize the cabin.

We'll go out again next weekend. I'm looking forward to a bonfire and hot cocoa by the water.

Beekeeper Quilt week one, check in

One week into my Beekeeper quilt and I've spent as much time looking at and touching, feeling, deciding on and playing with my yarn as I have knitting hexipuffs! I think this may turn into my most favourite project to work on, ever. I love each little puff itself and get a little thrill every time I finish one.

Check in total this week: 12 puffs.

Photos from the cabin

We spent the weekend at camp again. We tried and were fairly successful at going out there every weekend this summer. We might have missed one or two but not many. I went to knit-night at the LYS on Friday night then on Saturday we headed to the cabin. I was really, really sick with a cold from Friday so the weekend wasn't the greatest. I got very little sleep since I've just been up coughing lots. I hope I sleep tonight!

It was cold this weekend out there too... at night, it went down to about 2 degrees! Daytimes were around 15. We did not go swimming!

New Project: Beekeeper Quilt

FOs: A couple new monsters

I LOOOOVE this little guy and I think I need to make a bunch more!

Aren't those little toes and thumbs adorable!?

He's made of Dancing Dog Dyeworks Waltz Worsted - one of the Monster Mania yarn club shipments and is a swap monster I'll be sending to the daughter of a woman in the Dangercrafts Ravelry group. I may also *just* have enough to make one more.



This next one is made of Noro Aya which is a blend of cotton and silk with a teensy bit of wool in it. She's sooooooooo soft and cuddly and all mine! I sell or give away most of my monsters but she's for me. She's like a little pillow.
