Does anybody here remember Project::Granny Square? I don’t blame you, if you don’t. I took an unintentionally long hiatus from the project when I got sidetracked by the shiny and the new (also known as sweater knitting and building of my own from-scratch granny square blankets, among other things). Here it is in a nutshell: I […]

[UPDATE as of October 2022: Nine years ago, I published this blog post, because I had taken my three loom-knitting eBooks and put them together into a single collection. That collection is no longer available, but I do have the three individual patterns (plus two new ones) available in the Loom Knitting section of the […]

Remember the itty bitty booties I made back in September? I’ve been staring at them for two months, hemming and hawing over whether they were too small or not. I’m not sure what my problem was, really. I mean, it’s not like they were all that hard to make. Why not just make another pair […]

This is weird. I should be happy to be needle-free. To be rid of the sweater-knitting monkey on my back (and just be wearing the actual sweater on my back) but I still am in the mood for more. There’s another selfish knitting project brewing. I can feel it. It’s a shame that one can’t […]

As if to prove to you how much I am not a slave to finishing my sweater, I spent a great bit of my stitching time this weekend completely ignoring it. Instead, I was crocheting. Last month sometime, St. Martin’s Press sent me 75 Floral Blocks to Crochet by Betty Barnden, and I’ve been flipping […]

When I am buying yarn, I am always happiest when it comes in ball or skein format. And if I can locate the end that’s stuffed in the middle so that I can pull the yarn out from there, all the better. I prefer a center-pull ball to a ball where the working end is […]

What’s nicer than a new crafty book when you’re spending time stuck on the couch? Not much, I’d say. Especially when you only have to reach into the yarn basket next to you for all of your supplies. And even more so, if the projects are straightforward enough that you can attempt a few of […]

I have been kinda laid up since Wednesday. I had a little mishap while grilling up some chicken to take to the beach with us – I stepped on an errant hot coal and burned my foot. So, um, OUCH! A big blister developed on the arch of my foot, which meant no walking, no […]

I finished weeks 9 and 11 (there was no 10) for the Granny Square Sampler. I really, really love these week 9 dimensional flowers. I will admit that I only half-read the instructions while catching up on an old White Collar episode, and so I did them kind of wrong. I realized my mistake after […]
