We have a family favorite apple orchard. They do the whole farm experience, complete with bottle feeding goats and calves, as well as chicks to hold, a corn pit to jump in and bury your sister or father in, and a tractor ride out in the fields to look at corn, squash and a […]

Mental note: don’t drop stitches on the Tw2L column. I managed to fix it, but it was weird, to say nothing of the count being off for the irish moss stitch on the rightmost panel (this pic is of the left side) and having to go back and fix all of that as well.

The stitches I’m doing:
1. 8-st cables. Three on each side, alternating back cable and front cable.
2. 2-st twist cables. Knitting through the back of the second stitch, then through the front of the first stitch, and dropping both off together. It took me a few tries to get it right, but it makes a […]

Only kidding. It’s not killing me yet. I think lack of sleep and stress are doing that. But still working on the sweater for the hubby to have it ready in time for his birthday. I might be able to swing that if I can just continue to make or find moments to work on […]

The homespun hoodie i started on two years ago? Knitted, finally. Thing is, in the meantime, I’ve lost my fourth skein of yarn, and so I can’t knit the hood, and I don’t think I have enough yarn to tidily polish up the neck. So I’m going to see if I can still get homespun […]

Ok, so nearly $100 for a knitting bag is pretty darn crazy. But the latest from Jordana Paige is really, really spiffy!!
