This is the first day that I haven’t felt ANY of the effects of the creeping crud that has had its grip on me in varying degrees for the better part of the past 2 weeks. This vessel of misery was definitely not your garden variety spring cold. It was bordering on a […]

That 70’s scarf

I NEEDED to make this as soon as I saw it on Yarn Ball Boogie.
I dusted off my hooks, mustered up every ounce of strength humanly possible, and I (gulp) bought some acrylic blend… Wait! It gets better… It was from a big box craft store.
Yes. I wanted one of these […]

I had sincerely started to doubt that I would have it finished in time.
You see, even though I started this months in advance, there were long stretches where I didn’t even think about it let alone pick it up. I cast on in the high heat of summer (August), patted myself on the […]

Life has been NUTS lately. Between the fund raisers, festivals, my day job, the gift shop, teaching, outside commitments, housework, laundry, cleaning up after the cats, and playoff baseball, I don’t know how I’ve managed to get in any knitting/spinning/fibery time at all, but apparently I have because I’ve got a bunch of […]

It’s finished.And it’s bigger than big.
More ginormous than gigantic.
It truly is LARGER THAN LIFE.
It’s a very fitting name for an startlingly enormous bag.

Now it’s been so long, that I’m not even sure where to start.
When all else fails, I write a list. So here goes:
1. There’s been the introduction of some new wool to the stash. There is no honest-to-god proof of it’s existence, but I’ll […]

The power of three strikes again.
Three finished knitting projects:

Plain vanilla 2×2 ribbed hat for a friend that works outside. The company he works for provides ack-rylic hats for their employees and they definitely don’t keep the noggins warm. This ought to fix that for him.

The anitque roses scarf is finished and blocking as […]

Ok-ok. Four days late any many dollars short. But, OH, what a weekend we had!
I’ve finally recovered enough and restored enough normalcy (well, as normal as I’ve ever been) to gather my thoughts, dump the pictures on my memory card, and give you a little Thursday show and tell.
I heard that groan. […]

Looky what I’ve got!

Yup, my Socktoberfest yarn from Scout arrived yesterday! I was so happy to get it that I started winding it off into 2 balls right away!
Thanks, Scout!
The colors are fabulous and I’ve had soooo much trouble deciding on a pattern. I thought I had made a decision […]

I have decided to break down and accept/embrace/learn to love the newly obsessive part of my personality.
I never used to be like this and I have decided to blame the engineers that I work with.
Those geeky guys that arrange their push pins on their bulletin boards, in perfect lines, in their proper place in […]
