Sorry to leave the weekend on such a whiney note. Blame it on the hormones. Anyhow… here is my progress (and I do mean progress) on Green Gable! When you’re used to knitting things only on sizes less than US 3 (3.25mm), with yarn no larger than fingering weight, working on US 6’s (4 mm) […]

Green Gable Woes
So knitting had sort of stalled after I finished those last 2 FO’s and had swatched for my Black Pearl Yarns Design, and the idea of swatching some more and ripping out and swatching again, and doing knitting maths just seemed so onerous. So what’s a girl to do! Cast on for Green Gable, that’s […]
The Secret Life of a Knitter: Part II or Why Knitting Celebrities Are Real People
Someone sent me an e-mail a while back asking if I was going to the Snake River Fiber Festival in Idaho. I was moving that weekend, so I had to say no. She responded “Too bad! I was hoping to get your autograph on my copy of Interweave Knits!” I have to tell you, this […]
The Secret Life of a Knitter: Part I
I’ve been asked to review a knitting book for a magazine and I made the mistake of mentioning it to a coworker. He asked “So how do you get that gig?” I paused…. do I tell him? Do I make something up? Do I say I was chosen at random from all the people who […]
N is for….
Needles. (this is an old picture… the socks are MUCH farther along than that) This is 2 sets of Plymoth 6″ bamboo double points, my new favorite sock needles! They’re nice and pointy and the 6″ length is very easy to use. I’ve tried many different brands and types of needles, and you might say […]
Mememememe from My Seester
*NOTE* I’ve been working frantically today, but I should have the Hidcote Garden Shawl up and ready for purchase in an hour or two. I hope you all like it. It’s 12 pages long! With 9 pages of charts! My sister tagged me with a meme! Normally I reserve the right to refuse any meme […]
Much to the pleasure of a certain blogger, I have picked up the Hidcote Garden Shawl again, and she is nearing completion. I finally decided on a way to continue (one that I am happy with at least. I came up with a MILLION ways to continue, including frogging the whole damn thing, but I […]
Piece of (Strawberry) Cake
I have finished the Crushed Strawberry Socks! They were fun and fairly quick, and honestly, I like the fit other than being too short for me (I decided to make them for the long-range planning department, as I couldn’t fathom knitting something for myself when I see Christmas looming along with all the other stuff […]
Apparently I am She-of-the-Messy-Desk…
… and She-Who-Takes-Crappy-Photos. Anyway, these are the socks I’m working on right now. The yarn is stuff that Ms. Stitch-n-Snitch dyed and I purchased. I think the color was called “Crushed Strawberries” but I’m too lazy to go trauling through her archives to find it 😉 But yes, I’m back to knitting for a purpose, […]

Thanks for all the great comments and thoughts on the my new store. I’ve had someone purchase and it all went smoothly, so now I know it works for someone other than myself 🙂 So on Friday night I finished the Spearfish Socks! Pattern: Spearfish Socks by Kristi Yarn: Louet Gems Pearl, 2 skeins in […]
