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 [...]

Sweaters for Your Feet

Taking photos of socks is not as easy as one might expect! Well, for those of us who haven’t ever photographed a pair, anyway. Maybe this is old hat for some of you, but who knew how complicated it could be! Here’s a small summary of my first socks photo findings:
Get rid of all dog [...]
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 [...]
Be Still My Beating Heart

Oh eldest daughter, you do not know how my heart sings when you ask if we can knit together. While you sit in my lap, holding the ends of the needles as each stitch is wrapped, pulled through, and slid from one end to the other, I can’t help but to thank the heavens that [...]
Barriers Broken by the Sea

Begun in July while on vacation on the Outer Banks in NC…
finished at our new home in a small seaside community south of Boston.
I am now a sock knitter!
And uh, more details as soon as I figure out how to take pictures of them; on the to-do list for tomorrow!

Remember these… well now they’re all done!!
OK, so they’re not exactly done… I have yet to add the elastic to close them up, even though I’ve already purchased the cord. It’s hard to get excited about plain old vanilla elastic cord, so I might try to find some funky orange laces or ribbons or something.
These [...]
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 [...]
The Manon

At least one Christmas present is finally complete!
Manon by Norah Gaughan, knit up in Malabrigo for my fabulous, super-stupendous step-mother extrodinaire.
This was an incredible knit… and I am so looking forward to making up one for myself!
The lovely buttons she chose worked beautifully. I knit up a two stitch i-cord for the button loops, and [...]

Momma loves green!! The colors are truer on the first photo, but doesn’t she look cute in the second?
And here she is with another [...]
