Knitting rut

Instead of doing a wayback Wednesday (no song struck my fancy) or a wordless Wednesday (I haven’t taken a picture today yet, so we’ll see how that goes) I figured I’d write about my knitting since I’d been getting some questions. I am still knitting but something happens to me in spring and summer. I [...]

Things other people do that I envy

I know this is supposed to be a time of reflection and self introspection but I’m not feeling up to it this evening. So I figured, I would peruse the web and find things that I think are totally cool and wish I could do but lack in motivation, skill, funds or any combination of [...]

November projects

I am actually going to take a little break for my knitting project a month plan and do a project just for me. Since it’s my birthday and I loved the way the Bella’s Mittens came out for my co-worker, I am going to make a pair for myself. Also because I killed my hands [...]

Done and done

I must admit I have been so insanely busy that I really haven’t had time to knit much less write but I did get Bella’s mittens finished almost two weeks ago. I did. I’m so sorry. I finished them on the 17th of October and I’ve been taking a literal break from doing any knitting. [...]

On Knitting Hiatus

I must say that it is very very important to read the directions when it comes to knitting. I was totally flying on Bella’s Mittens. I had finished with the gusset and was on the home stretch to making the finger covering part of the mittens by October 9th when I made a horrid discovery. [...]

Yarn for mittens

Here’s the yarn I’m planning on using for my mittens. I’ll see how well that goes.

September Knitting project…FINISHED!

And they are done! Truthfully, I was finished yesterday but I was enjoying wearing them and washing them by hand that I didn’t really feel like blogging about it. The toe up magic loop method is really simple if you are an advanced knitter. I don’t think I’d recommend this method for your first pair [...]

September Knitting stash bust o thon project

Welcome to September! I can hardly believe it’s already September. Not to totally bum your day out but it’s only about four months till January. Now, don’t go and shoot yourself because winter’s on it’s way. Fall and Winter are fun in their own way. I have a feeling that this winter’s going to be a [...]

Early post and pictures!

I think I’ve decided what Sept’s knitting project is going to be. I already know that it’s probably going to be very difficult for me to finish this before the end of September but I’m going to try. I’m going to try toe up socks on the magic loop method. Have no idea what I’m [...]
