Dear Claudia,
Thank you so much for making such a wonderful yarn for me to play with. Not only was the pattern I chose fascinating but the yarn felt so warm, inviting and just plain ol’ yummy. Now begging your pardon, I do have one complaint. Take a little peek at that lovely pair of toe-up socks, [...]

A Very Merry Unvention…

Have you seen this yet…just one more reason why I love knitting and knitters. I’m so excited about this addition to what I thought was already a perfect pattern.
Just when I have my mind set on my next few projects something like this totally surprises me and I’m at the mercy of my needles. I [...]
Keeping Me On My Toes
Posted in Uncategorized on January 28, 2008 | 2 Comments »
One of the goals I set for myself for 2008 was to step out of my comfort zone, on many levels, and challenge myself in as many ways as my mind/body/spirit can handle. Here’s one of a couple so far this year…toe-up socks. In all my sock knitting I’ve only tried them [...]

EZ Aran Coat
Posted in Uncategorized on January 18, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Just wanted to give you a progress report. Even though I knit the swatch, as directed, I ended up changing the pattern layout, adding an additional cable pattern (not in the original design) and inserting the ktbl to off set the different cables (which I forgot to knit for about the first 10 rows). But all [...]

Finally some finished items…These are gifts for some friends. I know what you’re thinking the colors are so not me but aren’t they gorgeous just the same. The entertainment factor was pretty high. The way the colors pooled and changed. The northern lights came to mind.

I was so excited to worked on these but to be honest…I knit about 4 inches, ripped them out and gave the yarn away to my friend Julie. I love Lorna’s Laces to pieces but I absolutely could not stand the way the yarn was stripping. Not to mention the colors…They were [...]

Look what arrived in the mail on Monday, the rest of the Nature Wool Chunky. Aran coat here I come, that’s what my heart and fingers are saying. But actually I haven’t touched it in about 3 days. It’s killing me. I have all the yarn and then some but I just can’t get 2 [...]
Time Well Spent
Posted in Elizabeth Zimmermann, Lorna's Laces, Ravelry, Sweaters on January 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »
So I’m happy to say that I’ve used my time off wisely though I would love just a few more days…am I greedy? The first half of my vacation was spent doing family things, prepping for the new year and just being still. But in the last couple of days my fingers and my brain [...]
Dalai Lama says…
Posted in Uncategorized on January 1, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Every year I spend the last day of the year and first day of the new year cleaning, organizing, sorting, filing, and “setting the tone” as I like to call it for the new year. I’ve been doing this for about 12 years now and it really does help me stay focused. I state my intentions, goals [...]
