Lifelong yarnaholic and craft junkie. I'm on a quest to learn all I can about knitting, and I plan to take you with me!
Winking at Rivendell
Finally got something done! And here it is… Actually, I get stuff done all the time, but it feel like I have been working on Wink for a pretty long time. And I have – since early October. But in my defense, it is a pretty big sweater, and I did have a retreat… Continue reading Winking at Rivendell
Fabulous Sampler Pattern Alert
So, my big staycation is in progress. In addition to some non-knitting related tasks, yesterday I got my stash back in order – both in RL and on Ravelry. Some future project materials got organized. And I made great progress on my Wink – about half a sleeve left to do! And then I got… Continue reading Fabulous Sampler Pattern Alert
Again with the long pause
It’s been a long pause since the last post yet again. I have actually been knitting a lot, and also had some real life busyness going on as well. However, this is the first day of a nice, week-and-a-bit long staycation, so posting frequency should improve a bit. What am I going to do with… Continue reading Again with the long pause
Design of the Time
It’s been a little while since I posted last. There are a couple of big projects I’ve been working on – Wink, Waiting for the Rain – but they, and posting, got put on the side for the past week. The design bug bit me again! I had a lovely skein of yarn from my… Continue reading Design of the Time
Hats Off to You!
As I mentioned in my last post, I recently took a design class with Kirsten Kapur, and designed and completed a hat. (I also designed a shawl, but it is not knitted yet). And the process (for me, anyway) went beyond the class. I had a finished hat at the end of the class, but further… Continue reading Hats Off to You!
It Wasn’t a Retreat – It was a Strategic Withdrawal
Well! Last week was a big knitting week for me – I went to my first knitting retreat! The retreat was the 2016 Mermaids Knitting Retreat, planned and run by the fabulous Melissa Highfill of Seaside Yarns and A Tree-Hugger’s Wife Yarns. It was held at one of the lodgings attached to the Shrine of St. Theresa,… Continue reading It Wasn’t a Retreat – It was a Strategic Withdrawal
Quite a Few Weeks
Whew! It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks since I last posted. Week before last, I was on a work trip, where no notable knit-related things happened. The trip was to a town without a yarn shop or much of a knitting community as far as I could see. However, I did finish two small… Continue reading Quite a Few Weeks
Is it the Season to be Generous Yet?
I’m having an odd kind of conflict with myself right now – should I knit some of my coworkers small gifts? Now, this isn’t an odd question to most knitters – many folks knit for friends and relatives and even casual acquaintances all the time. But not me. I am a Selfish Knitter. With a… Continue reading Is it the Season to be Generous Yet?
