Criquette Returns (With FO's!)

Since I haven't seen my little blog in a while, I thought it was time to check in and see if it's still here. And time, once again, to catch up. First, here are some of my projects that I have made in the past several months:

Malabrigo worsted hat for the Malabrigo swap:

A lavender and rice-filled neck pillow for my rav friend, Laura:


My 3rd Montego Bay scarf for the Odd Ducks' Sea and Ocean swap:





Bella's Baseball Scarf from "Twilight" for my darling knitted-goods-loving niece (which was my first, but not last, attempt at cabling):





JJ Scarflette (some early Christmas knitting):


And my very favorite - my first shawl! Knitted from my first (but not last) skein of Wollmeise:



I've been getting more and more involved in hand-dyeing with food-safe dyes. Creating the colorways I have in my head is so exciting! Here are my favorites so far:











Of course, I am staying busy taking good care of the fur-babies. Nothing new with them, they are all still running the show here on the little house on the prairie.

And we have been sneaking down to the lake whenever we can, which isn't nearly enough. So we have finally decided to take the plunge and get our own cabin down there. That way, we can go whenever we want. There's a place we have our eye on, and we may put in an offer this week!

And of course, working my crazy-long hours. I had to hire 2 new therapists to take some of my referrals since I wasn't able to get people in for months. Neither one of them knit, but I won't hold that against them.

Welcome back! No wonder you haven't blogged in a while, you've been busy knitting! Gorgeous stuff...all of it! I'm totally jealous about the cabin on the lake. Sounds like heaven. We will need pictures, of course. :-)

P.S. I'm betting that the two new therapists will be knitters in no time.
