I have much to be thankful for, but since I’m trying to “keep it light” over here, I’ll recap that over at my personal blog. Suffice to say that I’m looking forward to an amazing year in 2010, as the latter months of 2009 have been months of change–lots of good change.
Speaking of [...]
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 [...]
I’ve been focusing on garments of late, which means I haven’t been doing much in the way of sock knitting. That stinks! I love making socks, and they’re my “go to” project for car knitting, bank line knitting, reading blogs knitting, and more. I did finish a sock a couple weeks ago
made [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
It’s fun to be on a mini-vacation of sorts, even if it is a mostly a business trip. The first two days are typically more “down time”, as Matt and I tend not to take classes and just hang out with friends and attend the few things that happen on Friday night (fashion show, [...]
