FO: Lace Ribbon Scarf

I have a knitting FO to show off! I finished the Lace Ribbon scarf last week! Things were touch-and-go there for a while with this scarf, because it was knitting up way too thick the first time around. I ended up frogging it once I was several inches in, and I was able [...]

Repurposed

(Inspired by Twisted Knitter’s recent blog post.)
We have a running joke in our house that almost everything in the house has been repurposed for another use, and almost nothing is used as it was originally intended. We have portholes for windows, an old freezer door as a bathroom door, and Christmas lights hanging in our [...]

Just Enough Ruffles: For Mom

I knit up another Just Enough Ruffles scarf a couple weeks ago just in time for Mother’s Day (phew!). I freaking love this pattern! It knits up super quick, is easy to memorize, and produces such dramatic results. Oh, and it calls for Mmmmmmalabrigo worsted. What’s not to love?!
 (And, I have to say, while it’s not really [...]

Lace Ribbon Scarf :: Frogged

A couple weeks ago I was boasting to a friend about how few WIPs I had. And then I checked Ravelry and realized I had been delusional. I had waaaay more than I realized – and some I had even forgotten about. After I finished up my most recent knitting project, I told myself I [...]

An update

I’ve been feeling a bit over-extended, and over-burdened, lately and I completely let my blog fall by the wayside. I pretty much took an internet hiatus there for a while, staying off Ravelry, Flickr, and Facebook. But now I’m back. And recommitted to blogging. Because it still has its place. And it’s mine. So, let’s [...]

Buttoned up

It always surprises me how different, and finished, an FO looks when you put buttons on it.

I spent over an hour at JoAnn yesterday looking for buttons before I realized the perfect ones were at home. (In my button stash. I officially have a button stash. When the hell did that happen??)

The perfect red

Ever since I finished my Just Enough Ruffles last month, I knew I wanted to knit another one. But in red. So I searched and searched and searched for the perfect red Malabrigo and I even came close to buying a couple colors (Vermillion, Amoroso, Pagoda) but none of them were “it.”
Thankfully I kept searching and found [...]

A little something

I recently got myself a little something.
And I recently started a little something. (This is NOT for me, but for a friend’s little bro.)
And I’ll hopefully be casting on for this big something very, very soon.

Finally!

As much as I love knitting rollbrim hats, I never knit one for me! I have a LOT of hair, so I can’t wear any hats that easily. Last week, though – I had an epiphany. I knit a hole into the hat so I could pull a ponytail through. Genius. (Before I start patting [...]

Soothing

There is something so soothing about mindless stockinette.
Especially when my other hat project is going like this:
I’m hoping to finish both hats this weekend. Have a great weekend!!!
