I was at the MIL’s house again last night, and she now understands the knitting addiction, even though she is still trying to figure out her knit stitch. She is slowly getting better, but it’s taking some time. Just to encourage her, I bought some more Thick N Quick yarn for her. She […]

Well, while I am far from a total beginner, but equally farther from being an advanced, or even advanced intermediate knitter (I’d put myself in the advanced beginner/early intermediate level), I attempted to teach my mother in law how to knit today. Now, I had two things working against me. First, the one […]

I really finished this part last night, but I got the right front panel finished of the hoodie cardigan I mentioned last posting done. I just had to cut off the bind off tail today, and I started the left panel while Drew was in karate class today (good day to start knitting for the […]

Well, today I was glad that I didn’t leave the house without my gift certificate for Glenmarle Woolworks that my parents had given me for my birthday. We had gone to the Princeton Shopping Center for lunch at the Quiznos, and I said I had wanted to go to Glenmarle after we ate. They […]

For my Secret Pal– I hope this is helpful! Cross posted on LJ as well.

I’m working on an incredibly boring afghan. Eventually I’ll get to the intarsia bits and that will be a big improvement, but I’m bored with it in the meantime. Row after row of basketweave, monotonous, but enough that you have to pay attention to it and can’t, like, read while you’re doing it.

I’m finishing up the last part of the layette set (for lack of a better term) I made for the impending Penelope, a new cousin due to be born in October. Her mother’s baby shower is on Sunday, so I have to finish up all the last minute stuff to get it ready. Miriam, […]
