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!
Recalculating
As it turns out, I didn’t need the mitten project along with me. These socks are taking forever to knit. In the general course of things, I don’t like wearing short socks. Knee length is about where I like them. However, that’s a lot of knitting. A day or so into this past week’s work… Continue reading Recalculating
Travel Projects
So a whirlwind week has gone by, but not a lot of knitting news. I am away from home on a work trip – one thing that is great about work trips is that there is often plenty of time to get some knitting done in the evenings. Most of the places I go for work… Continue reading Travel Projects
Knitting Up a Mystery
No, not another one of my ill-fated MKALs. Today I’m thinking about actual mysteries, of the literary variety. Among the other things I like to do (cough <knitting!> cough), I love to read. I love to read non-fiction mostly these days, but when I do read fiction, its usually a mystery. In the mystery field,… Continue reading Knitting Up a Mystery
Finally!
Things are finally getting done! Specifically, my long personal nightmare of a skirt is finally finished! I’m dramatizing a little bit here, mostly for comic effect, but it seriously felt like I was knitting this darn thing for at least a year. Now, when I check my project page on Ravelry, it turns out… Continue reading Finally!
Keep Knitting and Knitting and Knitting…
That’s what this past week felt like. Miles and miles of plain stockinette, as far as the eye can see. The two projects I have going right now were each chosen when I was feeling like I really was not up to much complexity in my life. But right now, they are both so very,… Continue reading Keep Knitting and Knitting and Knitting…
Skirting the Issue
So one of my knit projects right now is a skirt. To get ready for this project, I bought a pattern – for the Simple Straight Skirt, by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas – which I proceeded to then not really follow. I also bought and read a book entirely on the topic of knitting various… Continue reading Skirting the Issue
New in the News!
I just spent the week in Barrow AK for work, and hoped to report on the state of knitting there. Sadly, there’s not much knitting going on that an outsider could see. The local superstore, an Alaska Commercial Company, has a very small section of some acrylic and cotton yarns, and a small selection of… Continue reading New in the News!
Fashion Victim
It doesn’t happen often, but I recently got swept up in a trend. I didn’t mean for it to happen. Even now, on the other side, I’m not 100% sure exactly how it happened. But it did. So here’s how it went. A couple of weeks ago, I started seeing some buzz about the newest… Continue reading Fashion Victim
