Cotton pants, in the style of the wool ones I've been making (with no elastic waistband just high ribbing....super comfy) for Gabe

(Note the peeling paint on our deck....enter latest home project)

Full Circle

I think it's about time I gave the wool diaper covers a rest.  This one was started a while ago when I was at an impasse with sewn ones because I felt I couldn't achieve the best fit that way.  So I decided to try knitting one, with ribbing, kitchener stitching and pattern modification.  Now that I've finally finished knitting it, the cover no longer fits him.  And I'm at the point when I'm happy with my sewn pattern again.  Sigh.

The owl room

A new roller blind in honour of Bea and Christie, who when they stay here, call this the owl room.

Balaclava

I'm working on a balaclava pattern with recycled merino. On one of the hottest days of the year, Gabe didn't seem to mind being my model.

Animal friends

It was a wildlife weekend: ducks at our feeder, snakes and frogs on our hike, baby squirrels at the front porch.

Now that the new slippers are done....

....i can retire my (felted) space boots (see here; while they were the warmest slippers i've ever worn, i still wore holes in the bottoms since they did not have leather soles.
So I've cut hearts out of them and Eily is having fun making garland.

Padraig knock-offs

Gabe's a lucky little guy...he gets sheepskin to sink his toes into.
