I just learned on one of my knitting communities that there is a “gothy” type e-magazine for knitters called, “The Anti-Craft”, and it just came out today (or thereabouts). I have to admit I like the Curse your Boyfriend sweater a bit….hmmm….wonder if it works on husbands….

Hey, maybe this is more your style (or your […]

Hooray! I’ve now completed the second sleeve of the cardigan I’ve been working on. FINALLY! I had some time on Sunday to make a good dent in the process, and I could’ve finished last night but it was getting very late. So that now means that 5 of the 6 pieces are now […]

The topic has raised more than a few eyebrows on the LJ knitting community. 87 responses of one type or another in the conversation! Read […]

Perhaps I’m just not reading the instructions carefully enough, but I’m finding that using DPNs difficult so far. I attempted something the other day, but perhaps using size 3 needles was too small. I bought some size 6 needles yesterday, so I’ll try those instead, but for the life of me, I can’t seem […]

It’s funny how you learn about people who knit or are interested in knitting just through conversation or just having your needles out working on something. That’s happened to me a lot in the past few days.
The first occurrence was almost a given that knitting would come up, because while I was […]

OK, I think I am WAY out of my mind to be doing this, but I am. Drew finally decided that he wanted to be Danny Phantom for Halloween (see Nickelodeon if you don’t know who Danny Phantom is), so of course there’s no premade costume for that. Not to worry. Being a child […]

If you ask my son what his favorite color is, he always says, “Rainbow”. I find that on the rare occasion that he accompanies me to look at yarn, he is always drawn to the multi-colored yarns. Always. So yesterday, I was at the local Treasure Island, and found this Paton’s Quick […]

I’m about two-thirds of the way done my cardigan project now. I’m almost done the first sleeve . I should be finishing that up tonight– I might be ready to bind off for it. That just leaves the second sleeve and the hood to make, then putting it all together and crocheting the edging, […]

Yes, I think I finally got the hang of the basics. Of crocheting, that is. I know, I know! How could I abandon knitting? I haven’t at all. If anything, I’ve come to appreciate knitting much more. I only taught myself some crocheting techniques– namely how to do a single chain, and […]
