The February Lady Sweater
Tweet I started this on tuesday and had to rip it out by Thursday because I couldn’t figure out where I was. I’m almost at the dreaded “eyelet increases” and it looks like it should be fine. Here’s what I got so far. The yarn I’m using is Caron simply soft eco in Woodland. The [...]

Tweet Knit-Purl has the coolest yarn winder. Dad, take note… that’s a belt sander motor. Genius! Hey Dad, I told everyone you could probably whip these up for us. So I’ve got some orders for you
The Yarn Train!
Tweet This weekend was the big Yarn Train to Portland! I had a blast! I met a bunch of cool ladies (yeah… not one male knitter in the group!) got yarn envy and got some ideas for new projects to knit. I finished up a baby sweater while we were on our way there. Which [...]
Just got back from Portland
Tweet and boy are my arms tired. That doesn’t make any sense. I really did just get back from Portland and I’m plum tucker’d out. I’ll write more and post the photos tomorrow. Here’s just a few of the hi-lights: Bought the Lamb and Linen Jacket kit. Bought a few books at Powell’s. Saw Bennifer [...]

What a day!
Tweet In my relatively short time on this earth there are very few things that I really remember and that I think I’ll look back on and say, “I was alive to see that!” Today was one of those days. I barely remember President Reagan being shot. I remember the Challenger distaster. I remember the [...]
Gettin' excited about the Yarn Train!
Tweet I’m getting very excited about the Yarn Train on Saturday. I’m going to be meeting up with some good friends and having lunch, and if the Gods are with us, we’ll be heading over to Voo Doo Doughnuts for a bacon maple bar. And I may have to pick myself up a tshirt. Because [...]
the wrap up
Tweet I know I have posted a whole lot recently. It seems as if I’ve been doing nothing but knitting or thinking about knitting. I forgot to post a photo of all the goodies my swap partner sent me! and I also got a postcard from her/him from NYC! One of my favorite places! I [...]
