Superhero pants

Or, as we like to say around here (thanks to french class): "Su-pear Ero!"  

Which is best when yelled out while running around the yard. 

Pjs for Gabe

- Posted using BlogPress from my iPod

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)

cashmere leggings

these are the one-and-only finished product of my attempt at maternity knitting.
i was going to add a ribbon as per the pattern but i opted for a more practical elastic. not as pretty but distinctively more vintage looking. i feel like this came out of a box of my own baby clothes.

the weekend

can winter really be over? maybe i'm not yet convinced. this week, i finished a pair of merino leggings, cut from an old sweater and waiting for its cuffs for about two months.


in truth, it was a classic spring weekend, with a lot of sun and a dose of rain, and finally some regular weekend routines again. raspberry scones in the morning, a new batch of bread baking with flax seeds and seven grain cereal, and a pizza dinner. brett made me a fig-pear-goat cheese one which i topped with local watercress

and, these are a pair of rustic bunny ears which Eily made yesterday....I couldn't resist.

wool pants workshop

This past Saturday eight of us got together to serge and piece together wool covers and pants for kids. See more photos here.

my winter quest

this winter i've dedicated some time (and let's face it, money) to getting and keeping myself warm. recently, i realized that my circulatory system is a bit of a slacker. clearly, not everyone has to wear longjohns from november to march. and i'm still cold.
to up the ante, i've been trying to wear a wool layer against the skin. or sometimes silk, which has been a little harder to acquire second-hand. i'm also a little curious about fleece as a top layer. but when i couldn't find thick fleece pants, i bought some polartec 300 material, the warmest fleece i could find, from an outdoor fabric store in seattle. yesterday, i made them into pants and passed out at 9pm probably from overheating.
