And now for something completely different….

Knitting Content!! Yes. Your eyes are not deceiving you — it’s a slew (or is it slough?) of FO’s! Topmost is the Tudora Ruff- or Tudorica.    I think this picture turned out quite funny – I was actually trying to avoid a triple chin but…it makes me look kinda threatening.   I joined a traveling Scarf Exchange, [...]

Ta-Daaa!!

Now that winter is here — recognizable by it’s driving rain — it’s kinda drafty upstairs, what with the wall of windows. So yesterday, I made these: I was kind of amazed at how expensive curtains are, and I was not checking out the costly kind either. For $22 I was able to make these. [...]

Look Ma!

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 [...]

Current Projects

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 [...]

Does this remind you of anything?

 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 [...]

Shocking Developments

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 [...]

Talking ‘Bout

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 [...]

Happy Bloggiversary!

To me! Today I am celebrating 2 years since I started blogging.
