3 kings monkey!, originally uploaded by kimmiecashie.

Adriana made me this insanely adorable crocheted monkey for our holiday knitter swap. Wow. I love it. I wish there was more than 2 minutes of daylight in these parts so I could photograph the immense detail.

finished object Wednesday!

pattern: Bumble up scarf
yarn spud and chloe outer in carbon(1) and soapstone(2)

The pic is dark and I'm holding back my mad hair, but you get the idea.

new years resolution WIP

This year I decided to try to take better care of my eyes and not sleep in my contacts. Okay, that's not realistic for me. I'm not going to sleep in my contacts every night. I cannot see much without them and I'm a stumbly mess until contacts are in my peepers. I can hardly find my glasses in the morning or see the alarm clock. So here I am getting ready for bed in my ugly glasses and new egyptian cotton jammies from James holding my new contact case. I hope to God I can find it in the morning.
