Somehow I am behind. Sadly, I am only 3/4 of the way done the second front. I fully expected to be halfway through the back by now. Clearly, I have been spending too much time cooking, cleaning, and interacting with my family. I plan to rectify that soon. No more fooling around. Game face on. [...]

I fully expect to cast off the right front of my Fireside Sweater tonight. See how far I have come in just two and a half days? And, I was totally right about this yarn. Soft, yet sproingy. Perfect. See you in another day or so for a check in.
Off. Like M’bra.

So, TG and I are hopping off into the Skies and heading out to the city of beads. That’s right, we are headed off to New Orleans for almost Mardi Gras. And, no, despite the title of this blog post, I won’t be showin’ my 38 longs and collecting beads. We are going for the [...]

I started another clap. This one is being knit out of the Wollmeise; but this time I am using a color called Krauterbeet. It’s also not for me. Once I finish this clapotis, I have only one more pair of socks to knit and I can call the contract knitting quits. Wish me speedy needles.

Turning Back The Year
Posted in Life, project photos, Year in Review on December 31, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Tonight I celebrate New Year’s with a glass of wine in my hand and a heaviness in my heart. I really enjoyed 2009 and am honestly sad to see it go. This year was full of love, life, good friends, family, and yarn. Lots of yarn. And knitting. In 2009, I knit… A Smattering of [...]

I really need to get my butt in gear and take some pics of my knits in progress as there are a few noteworthy projects on the needles right now. But, honestly, it is so dark by the time that I get home that I just can’t seem to bring myself to take any photos. [...]
Here Fishy Fishy Fishy

I have a sore throat. So, I thought the right thing to do would be to get in a blog post before the thing that is to be a head cold takes over my body and I am no longer able to make sense at all. I knit a fish. It is also a hat. [...]
Throwing Caution to the Wind

A new sweater jumped onto my needles a while back. It’s being knit in fingering weight and has a gajillion stitches. So, the progress has been slow and not very picture worthy to date. This morning though, I decided I had enough of a sweater to really show off the amazing color that is the [...]
On Completion

I finished the Mushroom sweater on October 22, 2009. I don’t know why I haven’t blogged about it sooner. It fits like a dream. I swear. I used less than four balls of Malabrigo and added about 3 inches of length. I normally have to do this because most patterns don’t [...]
