Attempting Domesticity

new things!

Hello, everyone!  

Check out the sidebar - I've added some new content, including (short but growing) blogroll and links, my twitter updates (in case you were interested in the minutiae of my day - follow me if you're on!), and cleaned up categories/archives.

For the first time in 6 weeks or so I have the WHOLE WEEKEND OFF.  I'm so excited - 6 day weeks were really getting to me!  Finally, I'll have some time to put up some posts I've been thinking about for a while. 

SO! Check back for new posts soon.

Baby Blanket: Finished!

Yay!  This blanket is finished and in the mail to a very darling baby girl who arrived last week.  I'm very pleased with how it came together! I love that a pattern so simple created something so pretty. 

I love taking these pictures next to my sunny window in the morning.  The only thing is that the color reads a lot lighter than it actually is.  I think I may have mentioned here that when I got the yarn from Knitpicks, it was a bit darker than I had expected.  Fortunately, I took this picture today (right after I finished weaving the ends in) and the color really shows well.

As you can probably tell by now, I LOVE the neutral colors (hello, beige!).  I have to admit that especially when it comes to knits, I'm absolutely partial to these creamy tones. 

In projects to come, I'll try to branch out a little -- if for no other reason than to give this blog some color!!
