A big hearty welcome to Pickleboot here at Knitster!
And I’m delighted to report that the blanket is almost done, and I found mom’s HUGE STASH of yarn and a whole bunch of 1970s patterns to laugh at!
I think I’m ready to tackle a sweater now. But we’re also starting a prayer shawl thing at church, […]

In a stab at doing something different and new, and trying to have some project in hand, I started a little strawberry hat for JC’s cousin’s daughter, Marlist, who will be two in March. It’s been terrible, but it’s all in the learning process. I’m not sure if I’m going to frog the whole thing […]

In the meantime, Drew saw that I […]

While I love my friend Lynn, I’m dreading this scarf that I’m making her. It’s almost done, really. I’ve made a few mistakes that I really didn’t feel like ripping down to fix (I did that a few times already much to my chagrin), but they aren’t SO bad, I don’t think. It’ll just show […]

2005 was the year of knitting for me. Well, I’m sure for Helen too, but she started in 2004, whereas I started around the end of February/beginning of March 2005. For me, what a year it’s been! I learned to knit and purl at ALL, and now Helen and I are knitting buddies (she […]
