Yes, TNNA was fun…..so much so that it’s taken me nearly two weeks to get back with you, my gentle readers. Let’s do a full-tilt recap in 20 minutes or less (as that’s about how much time I have before needing to dart out the door to head to the shop).
First off, it was [...]
The needles keep on clicking in these parts, despite the little bit of silence I’ve shown in the past ten days.
I did get that swatch done last week, as planned, and started the project. It’s a fun cardigan/vest project that is worked sideways
using Cascade Superwash 220 Quatro, in “Brown Bear”. It doesn’t look [...]
I sit here, in my spare bedroom, working on the computer to create a post I’ve had lodged in my head for over a week. In the background there’s the gentle swoosh swoosh of the dishwasher, cleaning the evening’s dirties (along with a few from the past several days) while soft jazz plays in [...]
Sure, there’s been tons going on in my life, and some of it even falls into the “fiber arts” part of my world. I’m always knitting something (mostly shop models), but my knitting time has been curtailed by my gym time. As chronicled over at my personal blog, I joined a health club [...]
Where did the past month go? I’ll be back in a couple days (Tuesday at the latest) to catch up a little bit, but there’s been much progress and stuff going on in my life (most of the personal stuff is chronicled over here on my personal blog), but there’s also been fiber and [...]
One thing I always say is that I’m not going to get caught up in the whole “MUST…….KNIT…..FOR……CHRISTMAS” nonsense. I see too many customers at the shop freaking out about hitting specific deadlines for the holidays and really losing their sh#t about being behind schedule.
And low and behold, this year I took [...]
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 [...]
best laid plans, yadda yadda……yesterday went into the dumper faster than any I’ve seen before. It was a Tuesday, which implies a day off–but other things got in the way and prevented that, for the most part. Details to follow here, as soon as I’m ready to reveal some of the big changes [...]
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 [...]
