The Pomegranate Chronicles

I’ve been working away knitting, sewing, crafting, baking…on gifts for everyone else. This week, I took some time to make something for me. The yarn I bought at the New England Fiber Festival was just screaming at me to knit with it. I purchased this beautiful Fantom Farm Romney hand spun wool blend. This picture [...]

Last night I finished Griff’s owl hat. I was hoping it would be an acceptable replacement to the Dinosaur Hat. It was so cute, I showed it to Griff this morning and said “look what I finished Griff,” when he saw it he said “OH! You finished my owl hat, NICE MUM MUM, REAL NICE!” [...]

Yep, that’s right. Yesterday, we lost the Griffasaurous Hat while at the mall. In the cool weather, we journeyed to the mall to play on the inside playground. We had it the whole trip. On the way out, Griff took it off, and somehow in the confusion, it must have fallen to the floor. We [...]

My Jindabyne Cowl by Michelle Johnston in my last WIP Post is now complete! What a fun knit this was. It is made up of very easy stitches, but changes up so much that you only have to memorize two rows. I just added stitch markers before each stitch change and away I went. This is [...]

It’s a pattern of staggered cables with a seed stitch band accent. It’s a fun vintage look with a bit [...]

A great quick knit!

A few weeks ago, I was clicking through my favorites on ravelry.com looking for a new project. Griffin was watching and eyed “Roar, A Dinosaur Hat” a pattern by Tot Toppers. He started jumping up and down and said “Mommy, make me a dinosaur hat so I can put it on my hair and say [...]

While my Mother-In-Law was in town last week, I got a few quick projects done. It was nice to have an extra set of hands to look after the Griff so I could get some knitting done. My Sister-In-Law is expecting her second baby in August. She lives out West near my MIL. I wanted [...]
