Sockie Liʻiliʻi!

Posted on May 2, 2009 by Mokihana

I wanted a quick project to do today so decided to knit this li’ili’i [little] sockie. It just took me about 2 1/2 hours, and I’m so pleased with how it turned out. Ho da kewt, yeah?

Much quicker than socks for my feets!

My friend Linda and her husband were going to go on their yearly trip to México for three weeks, but this year is was going to be a trip with no money for extras like help with their luggage, rental cars and/or taxis. Money was tight, but they were very grateful that they were going at all. Continue reading →

Knitting Update

Posted on April 2, 2009 by Mokihana

I haven’t posted photos of some of my knitting projects for awhile now, and thought it was time I did.

Posted on March 31, 2009 by Mokihana

So remember the humuhumunukunukuapua‘a I knit for Hawaiian Beanz Coffee Shop? All this time I’ve been waiting for Mike to do what we’d decided on so that nobody could steal the fishie, and two weeks ago, he finally got it done (not that I hounded him about it or anything… let’s just say I strongly reminded him!)

What A Handsome Guy!

Posted on March 27, 2009 by Mokihana

I love all the birds that come to our feeders, and I love that I have a new camera I can take really good close-ups with. This flicker is a regular visitor to the suet that I put up; last year he and his wife raised a baby, and I got a couple of great shots of two of them together.

Rest For The Weary, ‘Elima

Posted on March 24, 2009 by Mokihana

Puakea and Pikake were coming to some sort of understanding that Poem and Ricky were here to stay. They kept their distance, though they were still a bit restless. Rayado, on the other hand, had his own issues.

Rest For The Weary, ‘Ekolu

Posted on March 23, 2009 by Mokihana

Rayado was still standing still as a statue. He’d had horses in the pasture with him before, but it had been a few months and he wanted to make sure these new ones were okay.

Rest For The Weary, ‘Elua

The horses were safe in the pasture. All of us had been praying that the transition would go smoothly, and so far it couldn’t have gone better.
