Got the yarn from Herrschners today. What a disappointment! First, I got the impression that these were big skeins, not the little ones. The other thing was that two “prints” of the four weren’t even the colors that were online! Two of them were color accurate to what was posted, but the other two […]

I finally completed the second panel of the first poncho. Hooray! Except, there is one problem. I made the first panel too short. It’s 17 inches long. It’s supposed to be 18 1/2. So, when you put the two panels together, it’s uneven.
Fortunately for me, I’m making more than one […]

I have a bad habit of accumulating handbags of all shapes and sizes.
I think this is why I’m having so much fun knitting this handbag.
I have also discovered that I can resize photographs again, at least sort of. This may mean you’ll see pictures from me soon! At any rate. the Bottom of the bag […]

Or is that a yarn hog? I just got a notice from Herrschners that they were having a sale on one of their cotton yarns types, and it’s $.97 a skein. I don’t have anything cotton in my stash, and I’ve been looking for inexpensive cotton yarn and I just jumped at it. […]

I don’t know why I’ve decided to do things this way, but not only did I decide that I have to make something for Drew’s teacher when she leaves, but I just decided for sure today that I have to make 3 toddler ponchos for the triplets (Katerina, Jacqueline and Vienna) for their birthday which […]

…that I bought that Yarn Girls’ Guide to Kid Knits. It was officially confirmed tonight that Drew’s teacher, Mrs. Gill, is definitely expecting and that she won’t be returning to teach the preschool in September. She’s due in October, and she’ll be still teaching in the summer, so I have some time to […]

Well, finally pulled out the ol’ digital camera (actually, the newer camera) and took some photos of the the projects I’ve completed since taking my official knitting and purling classes about a month ago. They are:
My first sweater:
My ugly pillow:
It’s only ugly because the stitches were too tight at spots, and not a […]

One of the things that I got for Mother’s Day, other than my Denise Needles (which are working out well so far, thank you very much), is that I got a gift certificate for Barnes & Noble. I wanted to get what seemed like a zillion knitting books, but decided to get one interior design […]

Here I am working on the new handbag, and I can’t find my row counter.
So here’s my hitech lowtech counter. yehrite.

(I gotta say, it’s completely weird working on small needles. These are 4s, and the stitches come out so tidy and tiny…)

I finished the sweater I started for Drew last week. After seeing my semi-botched sleeveless turtleneck sweater, he asked me to make him a sweater. Found what seemed like an easy pattern on the Lion Brand website. Well, overall, the sweater came out fine. It was a little short in the […]
