Many people mention the inability to stop starting new projects……..Joe has yarn calling to him, Amy has been on buying sprees (one with us–BIG THANKS!), Marie has loaded up on sock yarn, and Bonne Marie is displaying yarns and discussing their virtues. Is it that Spring has finally sprung from coast to coast, up [...]
Blogger just ate my post. Beeyatches! Time to try to recreate my witty entry……………but it won’t be the same.
First off, a progress report. Yes, I have finished the knitting on the purple Cascade 220 Quatro bag and it’s ready to be felted. I promised myself that it would be finished today [...]
I have to confess, I’ve been two-timing my Cascade Yarns. I’ve found a new one who’s caught my eye, and I’ve been sneaking around on Cascade for four days now, since this vixen arrived on Thursday. What has me so captivated, you might ask? Why, it’s this
Behold the luxury of three [...]
I trust this finds everyone safe and well after a long (American) holiday weekend. It was fun, but it wasn’t long enough. Sure, we missed not having our surprise guests in town, but we also found things to occupy the newly-freed-up time. And it goes without saying (so why am I?) that [...]
I’ve had some serious fun of late doing some designing and stuff. One of my recent simple creations is here for your download and use. If you’re a regular in these parts, you’ll recognize it as the Cascade Fixation sock I showed here a few weeks ago. It’s not that wizard of [...]
No, I’m not self-aggrandizing here, as many of you refer to me with that moniker. I don’t mind, really, as it’s kind of an earned title. We’ve knit and felted and finished hundreds of bags, hats, clogs, and more in the 18 months since ThreadBear started as a company that produced finished hand-knitted [...]
We were working in conjunction with others to support a knit-along project that starts June 1. Unfortunately, today we were contacted by some of the folks involved in the original project and we won’t be using the materials they created for said project, for a variety of reasons.
For those of you interested in a [...]
I’m a hog in merino yarn heaven after our 30 pounds of Koigu showed up tonight (and intermingled with what we already had on hand). There’s nothing else I can say about it. See for yourself. Sorry, it’s not on the website yet, and it won’t be until the weekend, at best. [...]
Matt made significant progress on things and put up a webpage that supports the (content deleted at the request of higher authorities) that BLEEP got up and running. If you’re interested in learning the fair isle technique to add color to your knitting, do consider this project and knit along. Details are on [...]
Wow, what a fun weekend. In the scope of three days, we were sunburned, herded out of harm’s way from a tornado, rained on, muddied, blown away with 60 mph winds, sunburned, and all but frozen out. That was this year’s Broad Ripple Art Fair, and I wouldn’t have missed it for anything. [...]
