The birthday sweater, although was knit, buttoned, and all ends woven in, was not completed in time for the big day. It id get wrapped and presented, since it looks done except in my mind’s eye. There is some embroidery missing that I’m struggling to get “just right”. But the yarn and the pattern are [...]

This is it. This is the month I am going to sew. And BOY! I am going to jump right with both feet in a serious way.
That’s the plan anyway.
I’ve been slowly accumulating fabric, patterns, and projects for about the past two years. A few things have gotten in the way but I’m kind of [...]
When Life Hands You Lemons and Too Many Adverbs

Or when a certain airline deems you need to sit in an airport for a few hours because there is no plane for you…
Might I suggest, casually, you call your husband to tell him about your delay, unless of course, your cell phone dies because the movers packed the cord before you had a chance [...]
All That Glitters

I started this project immediately after finishing up my socks. The Yarn, Merisoft Hand Painted by Punta Yarns literally jumped into my basket while I was walking around one of my favorite shops, and I fought hard to regain control of the situation by putting back all but one skein before I walked up to [...]
Slow and Steady

New decisions hearld new projects:
If you only knew how many times I’ve ripped back each row of the twisted stitch pattern, you’d laugh at my optimism at finishing it. I remain hopeful because there are definitely fewer frogged rows with every increased hour of sleep I get per night.
The yarn is this fabulous stuff I [...]

First born has been running around with ten blue toes for the majority of the winter. What’s a knittin’ mother to do but find a cute pattern on the internets and try to warm those toes right up? Thanks Ravelry!!
Little Snuglets by Maggie Pace of Pick-Up Sticks. It was a nice knit, although there were [...]
The Afghan in Its Natural Habitat

Work on the hexagon afghan continues. I have stitched together a few more rows and added them to the blanket, with a few on stand-by waiting to be attached. I also managed to take a photo of it in the new home of my mother, the intended recipient.
I think it will fit right in when [...]

I have three projects that are 95-98% complete, and I’m trying my darndest to push through the final bit of finishing. One is the Manon sweater… I want to do something a little special with the button closures, but I haven’t figured out exactly what to do yet. I want to use an i-cord to [...]
