There will no updates to the blog for the next few days. TG is taking me away for the weekend (just the two of us!) for my Birthday. This is to be my big 3-0 and I am most definitely excited about the weekend. The whole thing has been solely planned by TG and is [...]

These are a Few of my Favorite Things

I don’t have much in the way of knitting to show you today. I am working on the Entrelac Baby blanket (remember that?) which doesn’t really get much more interesting as it grows and I have hit a snag (again) in the SOTS II lace pattern – once again, I have tried to tink back [...]
I Have a Confession
Posted in Uncategorized on January 27, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I am such a girl. Truly. I like to believe that I am a bit of a tomboy. Strong. Not sensitive. But I am not. I am a bit embarrassed to admit this, but it all became clear as I was watching television tonight. I turned on the tv and Pretty Woman was on and [...]
I Think I Might Actually be on Fire

No. Really, my needles are just on fire, they are moving so fast. I have kicked 4 projects off the needles in the last 2 days!! Off went the secret green socks. Sorry I can’t post a photo of these or show you more of the pattern. But, rest assured, sometime late February, I will [...]
Time Out!

Have you ever had one of those days weeks where your knitting just seems to be jinxed? First, I hit a snag with the yoga mat bag and now, I’ve run into a mess with my SOTS II stole. A misread of the chart has caused me to go back and tink the 15th row of [...]
I’ve Hit a Snag

Today I wanted to show you the Yoga Mat Bag all finished and stuffed full of yoga mat, but I’ve run into some complications. Big ones. See, I made some modifications to the bag pattern. More specifically, I decided to make it longer in order to add a drawstring closure and this means that there [...]
Photographs that Tell the Story

Yoga mat bag off the needles? Check. Washer filled with hot water, Soak (citrus scented), 2 towels & a pair of jeans (for extra agitation)? Check. Yoga bag added to washer mixture? Check. Sufficient felting time passed? Check. Note the nasty water color. Blah. (This is why we use old towels and jeans!) [...]
Thrim, Thram, Thrummed.

The thrummed mitts are done. Finito. Completed. And, they fit like a dream. So soft and snugly and made to order for me. Pattern: Yarn Harlot’s Thrummed Mitts (this was actually a 2004 KAL) Yarn: Classic Elite Renaissance in a mystery blue color (I lost the band) & some mystery ice blue top merino [...]
Thrumming Right Along

The thrummed mitts are near completion. Fantastic. One more project jumps off the needles and no more have jumped on. The question of the day is – will I have enough needle space in my needle roll for all these now naked needles? Hmmm… must resist urge to cast on for something new. The felted bag [...]
Hush

It’s so quiet in my house right now. Monkey is sleeping in her swing and Bunny is playing in her room. With only the soothing sound of the washing machine in the background, I am attempting to finish the thrummed mitts. See, I have a theory, the longer something stays on my needles, the less [...]
