An FO!
Shocking isn’t it? If you saw the Ravelry input you’d know that this little number took 11 months! Oh my goodness.
Despite how long I took, I’m really happy with this sweater. It’s cozy, it feels good, it hangs well and the button holes worked! What next for my knitting?
Wellllll – if you believe it, [...]

Ta Da!
See, there has been some knitting around here! While I was away my lovely landlords looked after my place. And my cats. And my chickens. And my fish.
Kind of a lot to look after.
As a way of saying thanks, I knit her some Mason Dixon Ball Band dishcloths (I love the way the colours [...]

If you said “Time Traveling Bunnies, then yes. You’re right.”
I was originally going to put a little bunny from this book on the bag and then…the Lost lightning struck. And while I watched The Tudors
(honestly – could Henry the 8th even have dreamed of looking that good?!) and a mini Food Network marathon (I am [...]

This knitter has completed a project.
And then photographed the project.
And actually posted it – on her blog.
So very flattering, taking your own picture in a bathroom mirror.
You can see I couldn’t wait until I had added the collar and woven in the ends. I had to try it on. I did have someone else take [...]

I’m going to start with the yarn. The lovely, lovely yarn.
So soft. So pretty. Spun with Silver!
This gorgeous skein of fibrey wonder is from Woolgirl. You can buy yours here.
I am not sure what this extra special yarn will become yet. I am waiting for it to whisper it’s innermost dream to me. In [...]

Five hundred, twenty four thousand, six hundred stitches……
Ok, maybe not that many.
I did do the 50,000 + stitches in November. I’m thinking, quite a bit more than 50, 000 stitches given the size I knit.
I wasn’t able to complete the sweater until the 1st week of December because the sleeves were so badly shaped. [...]

To me!
Today I am celebrating 2 years since I started blogging. I kept thinking I would write something profound but…thinking is a skill I am short on these days…still fighting off a cold and…not getting a lot of sleep so…
In lieu of something profound, let’s celebrate!
Until December 7th, all commentors at the blog will be [...]
I’ve neglected the blog of late – I’m sorry about that. It’s Facebook and….I’ve discovered group forums on Ravelry. Or rather, the usefulness of the forums. Dangerous. I compare it to a freefall through a wormhole. I login and the next thing I know it’s past time for bed.
I’ve been knitting – we watched a few movies [...]
Yesterday we had snow for the first time.
I caught some of it falling on my new Noro Hat (which needs blocked).
I tried to get a picture of it falling…not too successful.
This is a little better.
The snow seemed to bring out the Eagles. We are their Winter Home.
I haven’t heard them in the morning yet – [...]
