…just knitting, knitting, knitting…I’ll have some pictures in another day or so. All the pieces of the coat are joined and I’m almost to the saddle shoulder shaping. I’m so in love with this project, it’s like having a friend to hang out with. Is that nuts? Usually at this point in a project I’m [...]

Unnecessary Pressure

Why do knitters do this to themselves? You have a knitting deadline. There is ample time to complete the project, if you give it your relatively undivided attention. But what do we do? We knit on something else. Or better yet we start a new project. WHY? Or even better than that, we let non-knitting [...]

Sadness and Sweetness

It’s not actually a full fledged funk but I’ve definitely been a bit out of it this week. I also had a bit of perspective thrown at me. Earlier this week I’d planned to blog about a moth (a very beautiful moth) that had taken up residence in the hallway of my building. I was [...]

Saturday was World Wide Knit in Public Day…
That’s just what we did. We had about 20 people and so much fun.
Started small but…
If you knit in public they will come.
That’s JL…the unstoppable force who pulled this wonderful day together. She would say it was a group effort but…we know who really made this happen. Thanks [...]
Not Quite Francie

When I started knitting Salto I read through the pattern (no problem) and Rebekkah’s blog post about it (so funny). Then, despite the warning I jumped in, happily knitting away without a worry. All went well, the socks were completed with nary a disaster or the slightest glitch.
Then I started Francie…more happy knitting. I was [...]

…stands for “working on my Aran Coat in the Air Conditioning”. It’s too bloody hot to go out and camp is rapidly approaching.

I can’t even tell you how excited I am about this. I wish you were all in my living room with me right now so you could be excited with me, because I know you would be. Can you tell I’m excited? Check this out. I’ve seen this on line before but never tried it. [...]
New Year, New Sweater

…and time to push myself just a bit more. I’m not talking about the sweater below but the pictures of the sweater below. I learned to use the self-timer on my camera! Ok, stop laughing. For those of us who are “technologically challenged” this is a big deal, a grown up accomplishment. I’m proud of myself. Are [...]
