Elephants on Parade

Baby K is on her way, and her coming was the perfect excuse to do something with these elephants.  I hope she likes it.

Knitting Like Mad

I've been knitting quite a bit over the last couple of months and managing to actually finish projects, though it helps that my choices of late have been quick knits.  

Rosebud Hat (Brooklyn Tweed):

I love this colorway of the City Tweed, though I think the yarn has a bit too much give such that the hat's a bit on the loose side, but that didn't stop me from sporting it in yesterday's wintry weather.

The yarn was much better suited for the Deephaven cowl.  Not necessarily to be worn together with the hat, but every now and then, I like having my accessories coordinated, and I think the two patterns complement each other quite well.

Also recently off the sticks is the super-cute and super-quick Umbilical Cord hat, because after all, I can't help myself from knitting for my friends' babies.

And when I'm not knitting I'm drooling over and impulse-buying fabric. 

Time for Breakfast

This morning was one of those rare mornings that I was up before the alarm.  What to do with all that extra time in the morning?  Hot breakfast, of course!

Sauteed spinach & feta scramble, topped with smoked salmon upon toasted whole wheat english muffin.
