Birthday Quilt from Mom on Flickr – Photo Sharing

Quilt Mom made me for my Birthday

Birthday Quilt from Mom on Flickr – Photo Sharing.
My mom made me an amazing quilt for my birthday! It will work as a topper on our duvet to help keep us warm through the winter months.
She used Jacobean print fabrics and a friendship braid pattern along the sides.
The center floral applique is her own design, specifically for me. She told me she just channeled the ’70’s (I love ’70’s prints) and came up with it.
I love it! Love, love, love it!! My mom rocks!

Virtual Birthday from Disney!

Virtual Birthday.
That is my birthday Surprise from Disney. That made my morning too!
Since I don’t get to go to the park for free this year (their free day in the park on your birthday doesn’t start until 2009) I am pleased to get a Special Birthday Song & Games.
This is a great Birthday!
except for the ants.

Ant infestation behind my computer on Flickr – Photo Sharing!

Ants...on my birthday...behind my computer...nice....

Ant infestation behind my computer on Flickr – Photo Sharing!.
As I am sure most of you know, I hate ants. I hate ants more than I hate maggots & flies mostly because there are more of them when you have to deal with them.
Of course, it’s my birthday so they wanted to come & celebrate with me. Nice. Real nice.
That is a whole colony of ants & their stupid offspring. I killed all the queens, killed the whole p ile of ants and now have to clean them up. As you can see, I don’t get behind my computer very often to clean so there are pretzels and post-it notes and wrappers of various candies.
Why on my birthday? Why?
If I find maggots somewhere I might just leave my house and not come home. ;o)

My 34th Birthday!!

Dec 17 2008 020 on Flickr – Photo Sharing.
It’s my birthday!!
George left early this morning but when I awoke there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a present waiting for me on my dresser! The necklace is from him, so gorgeous & it matches the top from my dear friend Debbie perfectly!
Debbie and I met for coffee this morning and she gave me this gorgeous Michael Stars top. I will be wearing it all day today on this, my birthday!!
Tonight I will for sure be going to knit group, no worries, I wouldn’t miss it for the world!

Happy Hanukkah Kyle!

This is Kyle. He’s our Coffeeman at Java Station where we meet each & every Wednesday for great knitting, coffee & tons of loudness. We thought he needed a gift for the holidays. And since he’s going out of town over Hanukkah tonight had to be the night!
The beanie is my Single Crochet Beanie pattern, you can find it on the Free Patterns page link on the left, using Patons SWS in Natural Natural, Natural Moss, Natural Snow & Natural Wood, from top to bottom. Size I hook, increased to 11sc between increases.

Tangled Yoke Fini




Details:
Yarn: 6 hanks
Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool
in 42 Rosehip
Needles: size 6 Knitpicks
Options
Mods: I chose to make the body a full 15″ from cast on edge to the point where you join the sleeves at the underarm. I am very glad I did!
I also lengthened the sleeves a lot; I made the 19.25″ and then joined them to the body.
Overall I am very, very pleased with this sweater!
I have worn it everyday since finishing it, does that say something??
