		<title>extreme play kitchen makeover</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is the project that ate my brain for the past couple of months &#8211; Isaac&#8217;s play kitchen.
Before: JANKY!

After: SWANKY!

I blame the internet; I became obsessed with the adorable DIY play kitchens made from old dressers and nightstands and such that are always being featured on the design blogs.  I started looking for a [...]]]></description>

		<title>jive turkey baby hat: Pattern!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Some of you may remember the hat I made for Isaac last Thanksgiving.  He was about six weeks old, and was still in the nicu.  I may have been slightly unhinged at that point, because I knit him this ridiculous turkey hat.
This year, I have improved upon the turkey hat, and I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>oh, right.  I have a craft blog.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sigh.  I suck.
Here&#8217;s something I made this week.  It&#8217;s a birthday crown for Rita, one of Isaac&#8217;s godmothers, who goes by the title Princess Grandma.  I used Amy Butler papers and a bunch of glitter and ribbons.  I&#8217;m quite pleased with how it turned out.

I love this paper; it&#8217;s cardstock that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>on needles (part II: Electric Boogaloo)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ While I&#8217;m at home, I&#8217;m mostly working on Swamp Thing, another franken-project I&#8217;m slapping together from various half-formed ideas.  It&#8217;s a hooded sweater for Isaac, in the tradition of the Monster Hoodie.  In fact, it&#8217;s the same pattern.  I was given some Koigu yarn which reminded me of the Creature From [...]]]></description>

		<title>on needles (part I)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a quick overview of what I have in the works at the moment.
I&#8217;m doing socks for Dennis; they&#8217;re in Claudia&#8217;s Handpainted wool.  I&#8217;m making it up as I go along; the foot is sort-of like the Phallic Sock, but not exactly since I did the sole in plain stockinette.  I just finished [...]]]></description>

		<title>baby surprise jacket</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
What, you don&#8217;t see a jacket here? I finished a quickish project, a Baby Surprise Jacket for Isaac.
Shown here in raw form; this really is the whole jacket.
Yarn is hand-dyed/hand-spun by  Franquemont-Fibers, worked on size 7 needles.
Pattern version by FoxyKnits, with help from Knit-Wiki.

Here it&#8217;s folded properly and the random yarn ends are [...]]]></description>

		<title>dadsocks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m feeling a bit bleh creatively right now; I&#8217;m hoping to find some time soon to sew or work on the nursery or&#8230;something. I don&#8217;t know, I&#8217;m just not doing anything very cool lately and it&#8217;s starting to get to me. That said, here are the socks I knit for my dad for father&#8217;s day, [...]]]></description>

		<title>rockin&#8217; (and quite phallic) socks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Seriously.
The sock is the first one for the Rockin&#8217; Socks Club 2007. Rita thought the colors of the yarn looked like me, so she gave me the kit. I did the first one on dpns, and I&#8217;m doing the second on two circulars. I think I&#8217;ll be doing circulars going forward. Although I&#8217;m an Addi [...]]]></description>

		<title>swallowtail shawl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I knit most of this shawl while Isaac was in the NICU, and we wrapped it around him at his baptism.

It&#8217;s Rowan Kid Silk Haze, and the pattern was from the Fall issue of Interweave Knits.
