Turquoise arm warmers- done!
I just knitted some great, warm turquoise arm warmers adorned with cute little white and brown horse buttons. They were for my good friend’s birthday and she loved them…they’ll really keep her warm and stylish throughout the cold Reno winter 
The pattern was of my own doing and I hope to start publishing some patterns along with some pics very soon.
the mouse hunt
so, since J (husband) and I have been traveling the country for work, we were forced to leave our sweet kitties with the grandparents. They live in this great old house in upstate New York with lots of room to run and nice wood floors to slide around on. We’ve also learned recently that there is a mouse in the house! And they have been on the hunt! Oli just caught her first mouse, although my dad still has bets that it was Mogs. Either way, one of them brought their trophy upstairs so my dad almost stepped on it on his way to the shower! I’m such a proud kittie mommy So excited to see them in one month…
The Weaving Works
Just found a new (to me) knitting store in Seattle, near the Univ of Washington. This place is great! It has TONS of yarn, from cotton to bulky alpaca (my favorite) plus books, magazines, spinning wheels and more. They also have a friendly staff and a newsletter full of classes from beginner knitting to basket weaving. Their prices seemed pretty reasonable too. Check them out at weavingworks.com
new to blogging…
Here I am. Thought it would be fun and hopefully a little informative to start a blog and wax poetic about some of the experiences and things going on in my life that might be relevant to others! So here goes…
