Heh.

Cute Overload's got nothin' on me.


Pea Pod sweaters, made in Cleckheaton Country 8-ply (superwash) with US #4s in the 3-month (hahahaha) size.

I'm not all that thrilled with the color of the green buttons. I suppose I could offer to replace all the buttons with (washable) wooden ones. We'll see.

I also made some cakes for the shower today. Crys & Ronise have been referring to the twins as "Beans & Rice," so:


All that's left is to put a few jelly beans on the 'Beans' one. Fortunately, I'm not a perfectionist. I'm into "sloppy cute."

Hello, Valerie,

You posted at my husband's blog (CE Chaffin) and he sent the comment on to me, because I love to knit also. I really enjoyed your blog (though I didn't go into the archives) and love the adorable sweaters. Is it impolite for me to ask for the pattern? And the Screamin' Leaves scarf is gorgeous (pattern request likewise)!

I am taking a class right now in making a felted bag, then one in making a shawl out of recycled sari silk. I've been knitting for a long time but don't always produce the desired results, so taking classes is a good motivation and teaching tool.

I'm going to bookmark your blog and will look forward to future posts.

Best regards,

Kathleen Chaffin

Where do you get the time and energy? Girl, you work full time! I'm home all day and I had hand cramps after knitting most of the day. You are amazing! The sweaters (and the cakes) are soooooo cute!
