Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Famous last words of a parent-to-be upon spying in public a droopy diapered shoeless child. I've learned never to say never. I think I even have a picture of my firstborn that fits that description. I'll do her the favour of not scanning and posting it.

There are blog nevers that I have, in fact, done. As in personifying my knitting. "Oh that Marina, she requires too much luggage to be a travel companion." Or using the dog as a model. It happened to be my favourite post: How to tie one on. So, in that vein, given its success in terms of blog popularity, and to prove that my fingers still engage in endeavours of the wooly kind, here is Gracee modeling my middle child's hoody cowl:

Excuse the lighting, she was only going to give me one chance.

    It’s a beautiful knit, but looks like a soft “cone of shame” on sweet Gracie.

    At least it’s not a cone of shame. Wonder if it would hold up as well as a plastic cone?

    Gracie looks like she is in a wool shamrock leaf.
