Gimme a Little Grin.

It was a momentous Valentine's Day 2009. Not only did I get candy, flowers, and champagne, but also pics of Riley's first missing tooth. It had been loose for a while, but he wouldn't let anyone mess with it. Then while out running errands that day, he handed it over to mom from the back seat with the comment, "Here, hold this for me." So how he's working on getting a second one out. I can still remember my grandpa pulling all of our teeth. Although we did try the string on a doorknob, we never could get it to work. And I could never pull my own tooth! Thank goodness for grandpas.

Go Fish!

It's been a while since I posted, but here's one of the things I've finished lately. This was one of the most popular patterns on Ravelry in January, and when I saw it, I just knew that I had to make it for Riley and Tucker. For you non-knitters out there, Ravelry is like Facebook for knitters with 298,877 members! Anyway, the pattern is called "Fish Hat [Dead or Alive?]". I knitted these in acrylic so they'd be washable and stand up to the wear and tear that two boys could dish out. I call my version "Rainbow Trout".






And this is Riley modeling his hat.
