If not mis-matched pajamas, Mommy-made wrist-warmers, and Wii? My 2-at-a-time experiment went well – I think it was probably a smart idea not to complicate the process of learning to work two items together by also trying to learn how to make socks at the same time. At least for a newbie like me. I […]

I’ve been eager to give the technique described in 2-at-a-time Socks a try. Nevermind that I’ve never used a circular needle. Nevermind that it’s November and I have 101 other places my creative energy should be channeled. Nevermind that socks are not easy. Nevermind all that.

Whatever would we do without Netflix? Well, we certainly wouldn’t be introducing our children to old episodes of The Monkees. And by extension, I most definitely would not be knitting a green wool hat with a pom-pom on top for my older son. But, we do have Netflix, and we have been renting The Monkees, […]

Read More: Morning Coffee With Beki LambertI’ve been in the mood to knit myself a shawl. Those chilly September mornings and evenings seem perfect for such a thing. So, I wandered into my favorite yarn shop yesterday and came home with two skeins of this pretty Malabrigo wool. Well as anyone who has been knitting for some time knows, two skeins […]
