So last Friday Cindy, Dawn, Leah, and I headed north to Madison. First off we hit Jerry’s Sew ‘n Vac where Dawn and I had some gift cards to burn. I picked up a roller foot and a curved piecing foot. My friend Julie turned me onto the curved piecing foot. I had never heard [...]

Edited to add: Sorry this pattern has a copyright on it. I’m not able to share it. I haven’t knit it, so I won’t be parting with my copy any time soon. I may be crazy, but when I saw this from Knit Picks – I had to have it. This is the [...] Julie and I had another lovely visit. I think it may take me a week to recuperate this time. However, while I do I will have some lovely roving to play with. I also picked up a couple of books – the new Portuguese Knitting one and the new Estonian Mittens All Around the world [...] Stitches Midwest 2010 was a blast. Even though I have a massive stash – a few balls (Miss Babs on the left and Opal at a good deal on the right), more needles (the 2.5 and 2.75 that I never seem to have enough of) and some more of those great puppy snips followed me [...] Friday some friends and I headed out to Midwest Fiber & Folk Art Festival.

Of course the wool [...] I ask you… who could resist a close-out sale on Claudia’s? We’re talking 50% off here folks. These followed me home. Sorry for the long time no blog post.

As you can see lots of bright pinks and green and spring time colors. [...] So I had a really good birthday and thought I would share a bit of my loot with you. First off a new Cross pen – it’s giraffe motif. Fine nib and really an extra fine. There was also ink involved. More gifts from my hubby – who spoils me. That’s a leather 4-case [...] I’ve been thinking all day about where to start…it was a whirlwind trip and we did so many great things. So I headed out on Wednesday to Julie’s and the fun began right away. We headed to Concord, MA where we went to the Orchard House. This was the house where Little Women was written [...] |
