My March shipment arrived!!  (You had to realize why I sped through sock #2 from the Jan. shipment).  I’m really excited.  The yarn is mediumweight this time, and to be quiet honest, I don’t see much of a difference.  I’m knitting on 2.5mm needles instead of 2.25mm, but not a major difference.  I love the [...]

I finished my first Rockin Sock Club kit: The pattern is just lovely.  I could definately make another pair.  The colorway is fantastic – the picture doesn’t do it justice.  The subtle differences are just spectacular knit up. They would have been done a lot faster had I not made some silly mistakes on the [...]

I was working at Knit Picky on Saturday.  Since Tiffany was there, also, I knew I’d get into trouble.  See, Tiffany is there a lot.  She knows all the stuff that I haven’t seen yet and shows it to me!  So, now I’m looking at the pretty colors of Cascade Magnum, which doesn’t do much for me.  [...]

A very late post for a Monday.  Last week was Spring Break and we stayed around the house this year.  I got some non-knitting accomplished:  I think it looks really nice, but my parents said I need to put some sand under the stone.  So, since I have no idea what I am doing and they [...]

Here is the situation: I’m going out for sushi tonight and I would like to wear my Riding to Avalon sweater and my Leyburn socks.  The sweater is no problem.  As you all have seen, it is finished.  The Leyburns, however, are not.  I am on the leg of the second sock (toe-up).  So, today [...]

A few posts ago, I left you with a picture of some yummy green yarn.  That yarn is Louet Kidlin.  I am working on Anjou from French Girl knits.  Here is my progress so far: An interesting thing happened when I pulled it out at Knit Night on Tuesday.  One of the sleeve stitch holders [...]

How can you not adore Shaun the Sheep?  So, here is what I got: The best part is that he is a bank.  He is perfect for holding my ‘yarn funds’.  First time he’ll get emptied will be for my trip to Maryland Sheep and Wool.  OK, I’m a bit obsessed with Shaun…I ordered a little [...]

Or just beginning, depending on how you look at it.  From the moment I saw the preview picture on Knitting Daily, I knew I had to have this sweater.  I bought the yarn for it in July, before I had even seen the pattern.  Sublime Merino Cashmere Silk DK was the obvious choice.  A beautiful drape [...]

Growing up in the MidWest, I never liked winter.  The grey skies, the snow, the ice…  Living in the South, I have a whole new appreciation for winter.  You can have a couple grey days, but you know the sun is just around the corner.  You can have snow, but for days, not months.  The [...]
