I am getting the distinct impression from the comments on the last few knitting-related posts, that I may have influenced a few people to give it a try, which I think is very cool! But there are questions, and I read somewhere that for every person who asks, there are 10 others who want to […]

Sock it to me
So, I got the bright idea of knitting myself a pair of socks. Neil got me a booklet called Learn to Knit on Circle Looms, and it included a sock project. I have to admit, I thought the socks in the project were kind of ugly – didn’t care for the color scheme, or the […]

Completely and totally obsessed. Which, when I think about it, is really crazy, given the fact that I rarely wear them. But Erin posted this tutorial, see, and I loved the way hers looked.

Ooh, don’t you think it’s hard to keep quiet, when you have been working on something neat, and you want to show it off, but you can’t because it’s a gift, and the intended recipient is within earshot? I do! And while I know I should just pack the project up and put it away […]

I kept plugging away (which, wasn’t too hard, given the fact that I pulled a muscle in my neck and wasn’t doing much else around the house anyway) and finally cranked-out a pair of fingerless mitts that I am happy with. This was my fourth attempt at making these things on a knitting loom. My […]

I wasn’t happy with the way my wrist warmer came out, so I bought a book & learned some new methods of casting-on, that would leave me with a less loopy, curvy edge. I also learned a new stitch. (Until I bought the book, I didn’t even realize there was more than one kind of […]

I was accused earlier this week of being an old lady. Ok, so I was sitting on the couch with a quilt on my lap. Knitting. And watching The Bob Newhart Show. Oh, dear. Maybe I should watch The Office instead. I’m not giving up the quilt, though. And as far as the knitting goes, […]
