That long post about new things and what have I been working on? The oldest FO in the bunch.

Northern Lights Mittens, in progress since January of 2006 (thank you Ravelry!)
For some reason, during the hottest week of the summer, I decided it was a good idea to work on fair isle using an extremely […]

After so many FO posts, I find myself reconsidering my WIPS.  I have some projects that have been languishing in baskets, tucked away in closets, for far longer than I care to admit.  I’ve been thinking about a large scale movement to get rid of these WIPS once and for all (either finish or rip).  […]

When I was in highschool, I was in a modern dance company.  The director of the company was this wonderful woman — very calm, very patient, wonderful choreographer.  When we were rehearsing and working up pieces, she would break each dance into sections and we would run through them one at a time.  When she […]

 
Here’s March’s UFO tackled.  This beautiful alpaca was once both part of a Union Square Market Sweater (waaaay too big) and the wrap sweater from Stitch n’ Bitch Nation.  Both sweaters were started while I still lived in Philly, over a year and a half ago, and I haven’t knit a stitch on them since […]

Wow. That’s all I can say to the incredible response to my last post. Thank you all for your suggestions and advice. I decided to plug along and see if I liked the colors any better and if the southwestern feel of the mitten started to grow on me. And, well, it has. I’m still […]

Thanks for all your hopes of health. I slept a lot last night (I’m almost embarassed to admit how much) and feel much better today. And — wonder of wonders — I went outside to take pictures and found that it is warmer outside than it is in my house. It’s deliciously, […]

 
Tada!  My UFO- Challenge for February.  This skein of Schaefer Anne was well on it’s way to becoming a lace Clapotis before I lost interest in it.  Last night, I pulled it out and ripped it back.  Now it’s waiting for the perfect pattern.  (Notice, I’m taking care of all the “easy” UFOs first…ripping out […]
