Although it is D#2 in the pictures, this project was knit for my goddaughter Claire who is having a birthday this week. It is all boxed up and ready to go to the post office! Happy Birthday Claire!

This was a fun and quick project to knit. Which is a good thing for me because now the model wants one too. And possibly D#1 who was nearby during the little photo session and made appreciative comments.

I scream. You scream.

we all scream for frozen yogurt?

It is that time of year. I have taken out my little Cuisinart ice cream maker. Do you remember my implusive ice cream adventure last year? It is all still true and if anything – more true! The Cuisinart is great and I didn’t realize at the time what a GREAT THING it is to have that extra freezer bowl. I highly recommend the extra bowl. I am going to a knitting BBQ today and offered to bring some frozen yogurt – the bowl needs to be fresh from the freezer to work and it holds 1 quart, so if you want to make a certain amount it is very nice indeed to have that extra bowl all ready to go.

and this recipe is still the absolute best.

On Monday I overcame a personal knitting challenge. I installed a zipper on the Boar’s Saranac sweater! Many thanks to my zipper mentor Peggy for her expert guidance. I even took pictures to document the event and to possibly do a little tutorial.

Well, it turns out I need a camera tutorial. I got a bit overzealous with the delete key and poof, they’re gone!

As a consolation you get more pug videos. Let me first say however, that I did not realize I would not be able to rotate the picture and so much of the video is sideways and also I DO NOT sound like that. gah! If I could figure out how to mute that damn voice, I would.
