"Mom, you're pretty hip…I mean, at least you act like you live in this century."
I just knew once I stopped churning my own butter that my 10-year-old would think I was cooler.
(and lo, I did in fact, maketh that scarf.)

So you are now officially a specialist knitter too? 🙂 (don’t know if the word ‘knitter’ exists in English though. Gave it my best try..)
Cute scarf. Next one is for Coley, than Dan and than your bag? Are you patient enough to wait until than to make your bag??

Awesome scarf! Loving the knitting going on in the scrapbooking world, but the hubby would probably put his foot down and say, enough is enough! Welcome back to the blog world.!

Hey you Mac girl, are you excited about the new apple phone,ipod, and whatever else. Hope that thing does good. Guess we will find out in about a year. That is a hip scarf you made your girl. way cool
AmyInKy says
And that is how a scrapbook page is born!
My 8 year old son comes off with stuff like that all the time. I’ll feel special for a split second, but then he continues his thought and I realize it wasn’t such a compliment afterall!
Good to have you back, Cathy.
melissa deakin says

that scarf.

Heather says

Melissa Hernandez says
Hello Cathy!! Big fan of you! After finishing reading both Clean&Simple Scrapbooking and the Sequel, I just feel that I know your family and you!! My God! Aidan has grown up! How cute she is now! So happy for you and your family! 🙂
Warm regards from Dominican Republic,

Isn’t it funny how the older you get, the fresher they get LOL! Great scarf!! I cannot knit to save my life, but do crochet a mean hat and afghan!
Kay Ward says
The scarf is great. I’ve started to re-learn knitting after a 30 year absence. Last time I was about 15. I doubt my first projects will come out that good. I still need practice. It’s just so cool to click on your link and see your blog after all those months of reaching nothingness!

Never tried to knit before, but that sweet little number might just get me to pick up those jagunda needles after all!

Rockin’ scarf! Great work… awesome colors too! I love knitting…
Marianne says
I had no idea all I had to do was STOP churning the butter! But then what will I do all day? Alas, I fear my 11 yr old will not always believe in my coolness. I am enjoying it while it lasts. Nice job on the scarf.

Great photo! Love the colors of the scarf!
suetreiber says
you get Hannah Montana & she still thinks you aren’t cool? the shame!
melanie says
Great, now you make me want to start knitting too. I’ve been after my friend to teach me for a year now, and I guess it’s time to put the screws to her. 😉 I’m a lefty though, and she’s dreading it!
That photo is incredible, the colours are whoa! Do you use some kind of action for your pics? Please share!

mitchell kraft says

look at your awesome music taste!
come on!
it rocks!
Tara says
Very nice scarf indeed! Wish I could knit to the extent that I actually finish something. I’ve started many times but…
Bridget =) says
*snort* churning butter.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!
Michelle says
Awesome looking scarf and amazing photo. Looks like your ready to start knitting socks or lace knitting.
Anastasia says
So funny…so, so, so funny! Laughed by ass off…oh, if that where only true!

Hi Cathy
Love the photo of Aidan and the colours in the scarf – not to mention the scarf.Made me think – My daughter(5 yrs) and I are going to attempt to sew a sun dress for her. First sewing I have done for a number of years but it will be fun.
I know you are really busy but hoping you can remember way back to Wellington NZ and a conversation we had after one of your classes about a class you were taking online(in August) about organising your photos etc – you said it was fantastic and that you thought it was running again in January.(Not sure if you said it was Stacy’s class – sorry can’t remember) I know it has probably started but just wondering if you remember it would you mind sending me a link to find out more about it. No worries if you can’t remember.
I’m so happy you are blogging again – for me as I didn’t get to see the last blog but mainly for you if it makes you happy.
Just finally before I go…My heart goes out to you and your family and neighbourhood, and especially Mary’s family for your loss. Take Care, Ka kite ano ( Maori translated-See you again)hopefully. Karen

Obviously, you’ve got the hang of knitting. That scarf is very cool!

Breanne says
fab photo and i LOVE that scarf! the colors are SO me!!
Claudia says
‘course your hip! Who else has a mom with friends that arrange shirts with Billie Joe’s autograph on them??? Rest my case.
BTW, this could be the start of a rock memorabilia collection for Cole. I’m sure there is someone out there with a friend who has a friend who has a friend who knows Dave Grohl’s neighbour 😉 The 6 degrees of separation put to the test, so to speak. ‘Cause for a self-professed recluse you have quite a following!
I’m afraid the only thing I might be able to arrange is something signed by Ali B., a famous Dutch rapper (well, famous in Holland anyway…) but something tells me that’s not exactly to Cole’s taste… LOL
valerie says
you so need to lock Aidan up. she is FAR too cute & smart & sassy for her (and mankind’s!) good!
(not to mention how much the camera loves her face)
and the scarf turned out way too cute…make me one pllleeeeeeeeze?!
Lisa Cohen says
awesome colors in that scarf!! What guage and needles did you use? I guess it’s back to churning some butter now! LOL!
R. Aycock says
I just want to know. How do you take such amazing photos? I mean really, how do you do it? Are you blessed with the golden finger?
elise blaha says
🙂 love this too.
