By Madame Purl, on October 31st, 2009 So I just wanted to do a quick update post to let you all know I’m on the mend. Last Tuesday I had the works sinus surgery, including fixing the deviated septum and have been spending my time laying around the house in a Vicodin-induced haze recovering. Yesterday, I was able to get my packing [...]
By Madame Purl, on February 20th, 2009 This week blew by. I can’t believe it’s Friday already. I must be in a high creative time because I’ve been crafting up a storm lately. Here’s some examples – 175 yards of Aran to bulky weight of lovely CormoX – Pia. I want to make the Truly Tasha Shawl. I’m thinking this is going [...]
By Madame Purl, on January 26th, 2009 I’ve been looking online at all of the Chinese New Year celebrations going on. Looks like the year of the Ox should be a good one, let’s hope so.
I knitted up two dishcloths over the weekend. We’re having a little party this week with the knitting group. It’s a Winter Celebration. [...]
By Madame Purl, on December 28th, 2008 So some of the earlier dishcloths I’ve made are looking quite ragged, so I had to whip up a couple new ones. I tried out a simple pattern found on Ravelry and I really like it.

By Madame Purl, on November 25th, 2008 With Coco just reaching the 6 month mark, it was time to have her little surgery done. Poor thing had the works actually.

By Madame Purl, on November 1st, 2008 Sorry for being MIA the last few days. I was busy all week in the evening and then tired every morning. By Thursday I was so tired, I was feeling the effects of vertigo. Friday, I was nursing a headache all day, by 7:30pm it was a full blown migrane. Finally today I’m [...]
By Madame Purl, on October 21st, 2008 So our little purple squirrel is ready for a spin in the washer.
I’m very interested in seeing how this little guy turns out.
By Madame Purl, on October 20th, 2008 So let me just say – I’m in love with Portuguese knitting. It’s easy, fun and when I picked up my other knitting, I wanted to knit it the other way. I have to say it’s much easier on my hands.
I wanted to knit and purl for practice on the tension, [...]

As a group we have decided to do a the Circle of Friends blanket. I received my supplies on Thursday and I finished it up this [...]
By Madame Purl, on September 30th, 2008 I have yet to make my kitchen the dishcloths it deserves. However, when I saw this cute pattern for the hyperbolic dishcloth, I knew I had to give it a go.
I’m a completely novice crocheter but was able to get this done with a bit in the morning and then working on it [...]
