I couldn’t help myself. I was having a bad day. I needed something new, something to spark my interest. And spark my interest it did, since I stayed up until 2 a.m. to finish it. It’s been a while since my knitting has inspired this kind of dedication.
I’m gonna hold off on commenting on my […]

Today is extraordinarily beautiful. I went for a long walk this morning and took some photos (this is gonna be a photo-heavy post, all in the name of spring and Project Spectrum, of course!)
Pattern: My own (based on Eunny’s Endpaper Mitts, but modified a lot)
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces in “Tuscany”
Needles: Knitpicks dpns, US 0
Thoughts: Fun, quick, […]

Still in Kentucky, but heading down this evening to MerleFest in North Carolina.
A few notes of interest:
- If you are participating in the Sound Swap, you should have received an e-mail from me with your “swapee.” If you haven’t, drop me an e-mail and I’ll take care of this ASAP.
- There has been knitting here. Mom’s fingerless gloves are […]

1. Non-drowsy cold medicines, of all varieties, make me feel high. I used to think it was just Day-quil, but no. It’s all non-drowsy meds. Whatever it is they put in there to counteract the soporific qualities makes me absolutely dizzy-loopy. It’s a challenge to knit on size 0 needles when you feel loopy.
2. I’ve […]

As if the nasty weather weren’t enough, I’ve been floored by a particularly aggressive cold. I haven’t even felt much like knitting, although I cast on and knit a few inches of my mom’s new fingerless gloves (good lord, this particular shade of lorna’s is beautiful! You would never have known it from the skein, […]

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 […]

UGH! This is the worst. I just wrote a long post and then lost the whole thing. Motivation to post = zero.
What must be said? The Northern Lights mittens (shown here basking in the thursday afternoon sun) are on hold, while I attempt (and attempt. and attempt.) to rechart the fingers. We’ll see if I […]

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 […]
