Shortly after my first successful pair of loom-knit fingerless mitts, visions of fingerless Christmas gifts started dancing in my head. But first, I wanted to get a couple more practice pairs made, so that I could experiment with another stitch or two. I made these two pairs for the boys. The blue 24-peg Knifty Knitter […]

Busy busy busy day today, but I think I can spare just a moment to discuss something that I know is on everyone’s mind today: Scarves. Don’t try to deny it. You’ve been preoccupied for the last several days, wondering how you will ever keep your neck warm as the weather turns more and more […]

You guys really came through with the “you can get that room clean in one day!” support yesterday – thank you! As it turns out, the photography has been rescheduled for tomorrow morning, so I could have had an extra day. No biggie, though. It’s neater than it’s been in recent (and even not-so-recent) memory, […]

24 hours in which to turn this cluttered space into something photograph-worthy. Tomorrow morning a person with a camera will be here to capture me “in action” making stuff. I asked, “can’t we just meet at Starbucks?” but it didn’t fly. My upper shoulders are still a bit sore from Friday’s pulled muscle. Wish me […]

“Mom, can you show me how to do that?” he asks, looking at my fingerless gloves in progress on the loom. “Sure! Would you like to make yourself a hat?” He nods excitedly, and scurries off to choose his yarn. We cast on. And he, in usual Eamonn fashion, allows himself to be distracted by […]

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 […]
Read More: Loom-knitted fingerless mittsWe spent Sunday with family at my aunt & uncle’s house in Bordentown, NJ. The street directly behind theirs really does it up for Halloween, and I thought you might enjoy a few photos. (It’s too bad all of my nighttime shots came out looking terrible – I really need to practice taking pictures in […]

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, […]

Today is my grandmother’s birthday. Since a lady doesn’t discuss her age, I won’t presume to blab it to everyone here on her behalf. Let’s just say, she’s one year away from a big number which is one decade away from a huge number. And that’s all I’ll say about that. What I can talk […]
