like one of those statues from my childhood…….the little guy standing with his arms WIDE apart…..THIS MUCH! Yes, that’s how much I love what I do. And then some.
Today (well, Thursday) was a l-o-n-g day. I got up without an alarm around 7:30 a.m., putzed around my room for about 30 minutes [...]
Since I intended to post this on Thursday, right before starting the project (it’s now Tuesday), I’ll date it Thursday just to keep the structure and order of the posts in line with what I intended.
There’s a new project on the scene, and it involves this
That’s two skeins of Prism Merino Mia, one each of [...]
Well, the Mondo Cable Cardi is finished, as of a couple Fridays ago
All that remains is a hearty wet blocking and then it’s time to put on the three buttons (two on the collar and one on the top of the cabled edging). I’m so completely enamoured with this finished garment that I tend [...]
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 [...]
I often (semi) joke about beng able to start two new projects for every one that I manage to finish. Recently, I’ve wrapped up a Baby Surprise Jacket (shown in my last post), the Eyelet Cardigan (not shown yet–still needs the ends darned in and blocked), and a single sock that will serve as [...]
First off, for those of you who knew about my mom’s recent health issues and week-plus hospital stay, thank you for the kind words, thoughts, prayers, and overall support since her birthday (which is the 4th of July), when she went into the hospital. She’s back home and resting comfortably, and a phone conversation [...]
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 [...]
Well, the best intentions……..I wanted to blog almost daily while we were at TNNA, but that didn’t happen. And getting back into the swing last week was a bit hectic, so I didn’t get much done online last week, either. Enter Sunday (yesterday, 6/21), a day when Matt and I can typically get [...]
Little smidges and bits and patterns are arriving at the shop on a regular basis, which means lots of model knitting for me (which I love!). So, there’s plenty of inspiration around me
that’s a new 100% baby alpaca yarn from Cascade that will be added to the shelves this fall. I’m not sure [...]
I’ve been dyeing yarn in earnest again–Thursday I did a bunch of it (see the results over here) and several are sold (both Sprout and Gecko are still around, along with Tiger Lily and Leaf Peepers; Gecko is really the name for the one next to Tiger Lily), so I did more on Saturday (see [...]
