I do finish things on a regular basis……we had a big delivery of sock yarn arrive at the shop last Tuesday (full details are over at the New Arrivals blog). I got crackin’ on a sock from each of the two cotton blends, and they were blocking on Saturday
and are now on display [...]
Again, another week FLIES by (and Sabrina was only gone for about half of it…..she returned to work on Thursday), and once again I had a 48-hour patch of no knitting. Sad, no? But I am able to show some progress for it all
That’s the Moderne Log Cabin Baby Blanket, from the first [...]
Just a quickie post to share a little with you……….remember these mini hanks? (mine’s on the right)
from my Tuesday dyeing spree? Well, it knits up BEAUTIFULLY
and surprises abound—these are NOT typical colors for me….but I love it!
I made more mini hanks on Wednesday and again on Thursday, and I also made some [...]
Recently, I finished several things and freed up a variety of knitting needles. Or, more accurately I wrapped up a couple things that were on cabled from my set of addi Click needles, so that meant those cables were free to be used for new projects–just a switch of the needle tips to a [...]
Ah, the ups and downs of Michigan weather—Thursday night, when driving home around 10 p.m., it was like 46F, yet on Friday morning, this was the scene on our front deck
and it’s been nippy ever since (it got down to around 4F last night, and daily highs have been below freezing, too!). Despite the [...]
Jokingly, I often say “no good deed goes unpunished” and last night was an example of this. Staff at the shop had done the closing routines while I wrapped up a sock class, including bagging up the trash and leaving it at the back door. I was getting ready to leave for the [...]
It seems to be a regular thing–taking part of my day off to visit with y’all and share what’s up over the past few days. So here we go…hang on, it’s gonna be short and to the point!
First off, a little housekeeping, for Rowena (via the comments). The article you referenced appeared at [...]
Another Tuesday, another day off. And a great one it has been so far today! Oh, come on now, Sabrina……….
it wasn’t that spooky to see us briefly this afternoon! And besides, it wasn’t that long of a visit!
I’ll start with the end, so to speak, showing off yet another Tuesday evening meal. [...]
OK, well I had to tear out the entire Kyler’s Kardigan that I was rushing through, blindly, because it was wrong. See, even I make DEADLY mistakes on my projects (not that I feel that I’m perfect, but there are folks in my classes and/or other patrons of the shop that are simply amazed [...]
The past couple weeks have been of one main theme–of home and family. Not my familial home, but my current home, here in Lansing. And not really family of blood, but family of choice. I did celebrate my 45th birthday on Saturday, November 1st–thank you to each and every one of you [...]
