Well it seems that since I started quilting, my knitting and spinning has slowed to a snail pace. It got even slower now that I’m working on the Farmer’s Wife. So, it’s slow, but not forgotten. I joined Knitspot’s Fall In Color Club and this is the first pattern – Long Shadows. I had [...] I have a few finishes under my belt this year that finally have been photographed. Yeah! I knew you were all worried I abandoned knitting and it’s been nothing but quilting, quilting and more quilting, but as you can see there was no need to worry. First Wildflower Lace Next Heart to Heart [...] My friend dyes up this great yarn – Gypsy Girl – Transitions. Whoops I shouldn’t have looked at the page because there is another one I want. Anyway – It’s been calling to me and finally I decided to cast it on. I’m doing Evelyn Clark’s Wildflower Lace Scarf. [...] Well, well…we’ve got a FO to show off today. Love, love, love how this turned out. I have to admit the yarn is still bleeding, but still love it. I started my Citron shawl, but don’t think this is going to work. It just seems a bit too busy. I’m thinking I’m going [...] Without further ado…using the Random.org random number draw – the winner is….Carol@Swallowcliffs. Congratulations Carol! I hope you enjoy the Rhodia Webbie.

Then there was Sweet Pea and [...] 522 is the number of stitches I casted on last night for Maplewing shawl.

In fact, I’m actually in a casting on mood, which sometimes does not strike me, so I’m taking advantage of [...] When I went to the Estonian Lace Knitting Class with Nancy Bush a few months ago, Nancy talked about the Greta Garbo shawl, which is the first shawl after the cover that you see in the first edition – it was fixed in the next editions.
It didn’t make the book due [...] I can see why this time of the year is so popular for vacations. I’ve been stuck in a funk and just haven’t felt like doing anything really. I’ve gone to work, I’ve done a little knitting, but my creative juices feel very sapped. I’m taking my vitamins, so I feeling a bit better. I [...] Once again I can confirm why knitter’s have this thing called – rotation. Knitting the same things – day after day after day… gets dang boring. Plus this makes for a very boring blog. I seem to just be focused on my projects right now and since everyone knows what Mac ‘n Cheese looks like [...] A beautiful bunch of Stargazer lily’s showed up today from my Valentine. We have to wait a little longer before they bloom as they were fresh cut from the farm. I still have to set the heel up for the sock that will go to my Silly Sock pal. It’s not complicated, but will take [...] |
