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 [...]
The photo shoot for this post was held this morning, around 7:30 a.m., with the sun streaming in the southern-exposure windows (that’s the river side of the house, if you’re keeping track). The glimmer/shimmer off the river was amazing at that hour, and it made an interesting pattern on a couple of the shots [...]
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’m far from project monogamous, as anyone who reads here will already know. I bounce from one to another to another with ease, and sometimes it takes longer than it should to finish things, but then it appears that I get lots done all at once if several come up finished at once. [...]
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 [...]
