Knitting Blues

I’m in no man’s land right now. I’ve cast on for a new project, a pair of socks for Sarah (I had to get her measurements so she knows they are coming at some point). I was making something else but had a rather large problem with sizing. I decided to branch out into color … Continue reading →

Making Good

So I’m making good on at least one of my resolutions. I’ve been swatching. I have two sweaters I want to work on and I am determined for them to work out well. The first swatching I did was for Ravine by Glenna C. I’m using part of the surprise stash addition sent from hubby. … Continue reading →

Recycled Yarn

I have been following the people over at WEBS for their 31 days to get organized.

It arrived today and … Continue reading →

In Progress

As of today I have a few things in progress. 1. Flower Child by Norah Gaughan.  My mother fell in love with this pattern while visiting a LYS and immediately wanted me to make it for her, that is until she saw how much yarn would be required and how much each skein was.  I … Continue reading →

Beginning to Knit

I learned to knit when I was a little girl from my grandmother but could never master more than a hole filled scarf. The idea of knitting something has always been very exciting to me. I love having bits of this or that and combining them to make something. Unfortunately because I didn’t know about … Continue reading →
