Ruffled Bib

Ravelry.com is by far one of the best websites around. A knitting and crocheting community full of patterns, photos, and yarn nerds from around the world. Not only a source of inspiration but also a means of organizing your projects, supplies, and joining groups in your community.

I found this pattern recently and just had to give it a try. Here are the results!

The colour is much more vibrant than shown (find me on Ravelry to see it better!), unfortunately it didn't translate here!

More new friends.

One morning I peeked outside the kitchen window and found these two scuttling about! No idea why they chose our backyard for their morning walk but there you go. Pictures out of focus due to general excitement and sneakiness.

So cute! (crafty posts coming soon!)

Backyards

A few weeks ago my mom and I went to Sheridan Nurseries and found this fantastic flower. The fuschia flower.

Here is a close up image of the flower itself:

We have waged war against the starlings ever since we caught them ripping up the fuschias! Evil evil birds!

Birdies

All righty! Here is a quickly thrown together collection of some amigurumi pieces I have made since the beginning of the year. I have not made one for myself but I do have a random assortment of photos of ones I have made others.

Here is the purple bird I made my supervisor for her birthday and the orange I made my friend for hers.

My lovely friend Jessica (gorgeous blog found here) has already made a post about a bird I made for her and this is photo she took:

And last but not least, the two I made for my parents:

It would be nice to get them all together for a group shot! Also, I really need one for my desk! Dare I make yet another?

Yellow Afghan: Progress II

Some quick photos of the progress of my yellow blanket!

This picture gives a good impression of size so far!

I love this pattern.

Yellow Afghan: Progress

Yesterday was a glorious day. I returned home from work to see a large box of yarn awaiting me...

I set off to work straightaway!

Today involves more crocheting and Lord of the Rings boxsets. Perfection.

Garden Preview

This past Sunday, my mom and I spent about ten minutes outside before the sky ripped open and quickly forced us back in the house. Here are some photos of the garden so far.

More to come, hopefully!
