Authentic Baby Vintage...

I bought this adorable vintage sweater at the thrift shop last week. I've got plans. Big plans.

I'm thinking about selling repurposed baby handknits in my little shop. This one, for instance, is going to get vintage mother of pearl buttons, and I'm also going to sew on that vintage applique lace bird. It becomes a hundred times more adorable!

In my own knitting arena, I've just got the arms left on the eyelet cardigan that I've been working on since New Years. Which I'm quite excited to finish, because my mind is already halfway in my next project.


I got my lovely bf to take a photograph of me a couple of nights ago, as you can see. The reason being that I was admiring my new hair cut, and wanted to enjoy it in all its glory. This is mostly because I have gotten in the habit this past year of cutting it myself! And I'm starting to think that I do a pretty good job, all in all... Maybe not all would agree though!

Getting back into the Swing of Things...

Oh my. School has certainly recommenced.

I have been back in Montreal for exactly nine days, and I have already managed to fall behind in my readings. You may ask how this is possible. There is a simple explanation, and it starts with 'k' and rhymes with hitting...


Yes, I've gone a bit crazy.

This is the beret I made for my brother's girlfriend, as a Christmas gift. Apparently her sister has fallen in love with it, and is begging for her own! I'm only too happy to oblige...

I'm also nearly done Jennifer Little's Modified Drops Eyelet Baby Cardigan (rav link), which is turning out adorable. My yarn is a very cute (but alas, discontinued) fingering weight from Mondial. Sorry that I haven't photographed it yet - it seems a bit camera shy!

In the meantime, I better get back to Coleridge...
