Thank You! Plus a Sock

Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments on grannie smith. Also a big thank you to all who have purchased the pattern so far. This has been such an exciting and uplifting experience, as I’ve been having a tough time with my job for the past few months or so. As a few of [...]

Busy Bee

I’ve been pretty busy lately and when I’m not busy, I’m too tired to keep my eyes open. Hasn’t been too much knitting going on, but I did manage to finish the turtleneck shrug on Sunday.

Sew? I Knit!

Since the deadline for making the skirt for Sew? I knit! sew-along is on Monday, I figured I had better get cracking! So I saved the sewing machine from its exile in the closet, laid out my fabric, and cut away (and made a mess). I used a free wrap skirt pattern from fitzpatterns.com (Dana). [...]

Quick Update

Just a quick little update on two projects: #1: The turtle neck shrug is almost finished! I joined both sleeves together last night (finally!) and have about 2″ of the 8″ for the neck done. I can’t wait to finish this project. The 3×3 rib is killing me! The funniest thing is, I am rushing [...]

What’s Going On?

There seems to be a decline in blog posts lately all around the blog-o-sphere. Could it be a little bit of Knitting Olympic overload? I haven’t been doing too much since the Olympics. I’ve made a bit more progress on the turtleneck shrug. I’ve also been slowly weaving in all the ends on my fairisle [...]
