Now that I have finished the first Delftig mitten and started the second, I can show you the inside (or back) of the knitting along with the outside (or front). Since they are knit in the round, the inside of the hand is sort of where all the magic happens to make the pattern. Here… Continue reading Marlisle Mitts – Insiders View
This quiz is stolen borrowed from Karen at Nothing But Knit – she often has nifty quizzes along with other interesting content. Check out her blog! Today is Black Friday, the traditional start of the holiday shopping season. How about a quiz to get us through the craziness? Do you shop the sales on Black… Continue reading Black Friday Quiz

DH’s company sent him and three coworkers to AutoCAD University for the week, and I got to tag along. We just had to cover my flight and meals, making it an irresistible bargain. We… Continue reading Sin City Knit Shop
I have a lot of things to be thankful for this week! Here are the ones I can think of right now, in no particular order: 80’s music, and particular 80’s music accessible on YouTube. Why yes, I am listening to some of it right now, as it happens! Alaska Airlines. They get it done… Continue reading Thankful Thursday
Thanks to Alissa at Headknits for sharing this quiz! 1. Share an image of a knitting pattern you love but would probably never knit. I love this guy – Yeti for Bed from Interweave Knits. I love his expression and his little union suit and bunny slippers! But I will probably never make him. Though… Continue reading Knitting Quiz
