How was everyone’s Christmas? Or December Wednesday, if you do not do Christmas? I had a pretty nice one. DH and I opened our gifts to each other Christmas Eve, as that is his family’s tradition. He got me some self-striping sock yarn in the Wonder Woman colorway from Turtlepurl yarn, and a very cool… Continue reading A Very Knitty Christmas

However, half a pattern repeat is still a lot… Continue reading KnitKnitKnitKnitKnit Cable!

When DH and I first got married, I sat down on our long Thanksgiving weekend and sent out our first batch of cards. I really just did it then because… Continue reading Carded

Today I decided to gather up all the cold weather accessories to take stock of what we have and see if I need to make anything in the near future. Here is the result (other than a pair of fingerless mitts I keep in my desk at work). Total count: 5 gloves or mittens 6… Continue reading No Cold Necks On My Watch
