Another fun but somewhat crazed evening, with me finally getting a haircut, us doing some grocery shopping, and finally coming home to leftovers and the mammoth Cascade 220 order with a Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride bulky chaser (the backorders are almost all cleared, but sone from OCTOBER remains in backorder status—amazing).
So here’s the [...]
Connectivity problems with the ISP at home have caused delays in getting pictures up to the server for blog updates. For those of you wondering where my sample of TheresaW’s requested Cascade 220 9451 is, you’ll see it as soon as they fix a severed underground cable somewhere in our neighborhood. Ah, the [...]
Another weekend and another wonderful interaction with great folks. It’s just after noon on Sunday and we’re expecting some friends/knitters shortly, so I’m sneaking in a little blog time to update a couple of you out there who I know are waiting patiently.
Saturday brought a fun, sorta quiet, rather productive day to [...]
I didn’t know this existed, but I’m sure it had to happen…………….there’s an errata sheet for Sally Melville’s latest book, The Knitting Experience, and it can be found here. I just found out about it tonight.
It’s only one page, so if you own the book, it’s a simple print of a PDF file. If [...]
You’ve asked for it, and it’s time to see the results………..an old favorite versus a new comer.
Lime Yarn
Lime Felt
Celery Yarn
Celery Felt
As you can see, the lime is more green, with stronger yellows and blues pulling through.
I like them both, but I think my favorite is still the celery (Cascade 220 9407). It’s more subtle, [...]
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post (and even more of you have commented on the need/want for same), we’re working on putting together a page of pictures that would compare skeined Cascade 220 to the felted fabric of that yarn. That’s alot of knitting, but I’m up to the challenge. But in the [...]
Wow! What a week it was last week. Between several days of knitting adventures in other cities (we run a sort of mobile yarn mobile to a couple nearby towns and support their local knit nights with help, hands-on instruction, support, encouragement, ideas, and yarn/patterns) and then Third Thursday, it was a busy [...]
Bonus points if you can figure out what humorist I’m bastardizing in that headline…………..and since this entry is about dinner last night, there’s nothing about felting herein.
Third Thursday rules! Be sure to stop by Matt’s blog for a different type of recap. This site is dedicated to delectable delights of the evening. [...]
I say an off day because there won’t be any pictures, and definitely none of my pontificating about stuff. Tomorrow is THIRD THURSDAY and we’re doing My Big Fat Greek Thursday, or an evening of Greek food, multinational fiber, and good friends. You’ve been warned–still plenty of time to pick up a last-minute [...]
There’s nothing quite as rewarding as getting together with a good friend from your past–but this isn’t about my sistah/faux-brother Paul, formerly of Atlanta like Matt and I, but now sentenced to Wilmington, Delaware. This is a knitter’s blog, so of course I’m talking about a project, silly!
Felted Market Bag–the genius of Linda Cyr
The [...]
