I know it’s not September yet, but my hands had nothing to do the other night, and now I’m almost done knitting the yoke. I chose the ribbed yoke over the leafy one.

Ruching, ribbing, or leaves?
I’ve made three swatches, and now I have to make up my mind: what kind of yoke shall I knit for my new sweater? I’d love to get your opinion, too, even if you don’t knit. What looks nicest?

Wherein I explain the difference between having cyclical interests and being well-and-truly obsessed. And then I show you the obsession that has me in its grip.

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 […]

Well, it seems I am capable of learning. Last September, when I was working on my first Tea Leaves Cardigan, I was living and breathing that sweater.

From me, anyway. I’d gotten really board with all that stockinette. What am I talking about? Why, Aidan’s sweater, of course. Four months after I started it, I am done. DONE! Last night, before I went to bed, I folded up the sweater neatly and left it as a surprise on the corner of his […]

Thank you for ordering crochet hooks this week! I’m closing up the shop in a matter of minutes, and then I’m ordering my supplies and taking them down south to the Clayathon. I can hardly wait for the weekend to begin. I’ve got several things I want to work on, mainly your hook orders and […]

If I waited until I had a finished project to show you before I posted, it would be some time before you heard from me again, I suspect. So I thought I’d show you what I’ve got on the needles, on the hook, and in the sewing pile. I’ve got about a million in-progress projects […]
