Dear Blog,
Hi! How have you been? Good? Good!
I cannot believe it’s been so long since I last posted. Phew! I have always been a rather lazy blogger, but a couple weeks ago my friend commented that I had been blogging even less lately since I started the 365 Project on Flickr, and I realized she’s [...]

I am totally stuck on this sweater I’m working on.
I’ve knit the body and one sleeve…
but I have a few issues with it so far:
1) I’m not sure how I feel about the “camo-ness” of it.
2. I don’t know where to start the ribbing? (I’m thinking maybe a few rows ago?)
3. I also don’t know [...]

Remember Sea Baby? Well the beautiful little recipient wore it to my Stitch ‘n Bitch yesterday and I fell in love with it all over again. (And she DID wear it home from the hospital (Awww!) and apparently she wears it all the time - this little one has good taste! LOL!)
I am working on [...]

I recently read in Knitting Rules that Stephanie referred to an old neighbor as a “Martha” because she was totally organized. Now, I’m no Martha, but I do have all my yarn, books, patterns, and other knitting paraphernalia organized out of necessity more than anything. Or, at least, I have a SYSTEM, which admittedly needs [...]

I read a blog entry a while back about why that knitter liked to shop at yarn stores, and she was asking her readers why they didn’t feel the same (if they didn’t). I didn’t comment, because I didn’t want to just rattle off all the different times I’d been insulted, ignored, and confused at [...]

*OK, technically 2 days, since I started on Friday night.
1. Get a nasty head cold that you can’t shake.
2. Have your boyfriend leave on a weekend camping trip.
3. Call for sunny weather.
4. Drink lots of coffee.
5. Pull up a comfy chair with your knitting, a liter of water, and an endless supply of juice.
6. Sit [...]

I’ve been sick all week with “the crud” (as my friend Doris calls it) and my mom was ALSO in town visiting all week (bad timing!), so I’m taking it easy today and I’m going to knit a sock. (Not technically in one day, because I started it last night.)
I’m knitting up a Nutkin with [...]

So, I realized part of what has been stressing me out the past couple of months was the break in my routine. I’m not usually one to stick to a routine, but I was really starting to miss my little Saturday morning ritual of coffee, NPR, and knitting. My weeks had been so hectic, and [...]

Things have been crazy busy around here lately, so in the interest of time I am posting two blog posts in one!
First up, my friend Heather sent me this photo of her daughter wearing 2 handknits I made for her a while back, the February Baby Sweater and Saartje’s Bootees. Don’t you just love friends [...]

Just in time to celebrate spring, I have a boatload of big bulky knits to show off!
First up, I finally got my hands on some Mmmmalabrigo (just in time to bid adieu to Malabrigo March!) and I was originally going to knit up a quick rollbrim hat for me (using my standard recipe). But once I knit it up, [...]
