KNITSTER

Well, while it doesn’t seem like the Knitsters are doing much, this is far from the truth. We’re all just busy ladies, that’s all! But, we still manage to get some knitting and other creative activities done when we can, for sure. I’ve not only been knitting, but learning how to sew, and trying to […]

One thing I’ve always enjoyed when I have the opportunity to visit my local IKEA store is that they always have a display out (or at least this past year they have) of a makeshift yarn store, and how you can use various shelving and office furniture that they have for such a business setup. […]

Well, if you are a diehard knitter who has more advanced skills than I do, perhaps you aren’t crazy. But for me, I added something to my queue on Ravelry…and in reality…as something that I wanted to do. It’s the first time I actually bought a pattern for something that didn’t come out of a […]

Okay, let me explain…
I finally finished a long overdue UFO. Or I should say, it’s an FO now. Last year, I was always freezing at work, as my boss wouldn’t have the heat kick in until an hour before I left, which would be several hours after I arrived. I’m also a person, whom I […]

You know that sweater that my son asked for, the one that was supposed to have flames on it? The sweater from hell? (Well, he wanted Hot Wheels flames, he knows nothing of hell.) Or at least hell to me? I finally broke down and frogged it, and I’m making a plain red sweater for […]

I don’t know about Xiane or Pickleboot, but one thing I know that Helen and I have in our many commonalities is a love for British comediennes, French and Saunders.  Heaven knows Helen and I both love Ab Fab, and I know that Helen is big for the Vicar of Dibley. The last thing I […]

I was reading one of my most favorite websites/blogs,Project RunGay with those lovely boys, Tom and Lorenzo, and after writing them an email note about getting their view on why Christian has been the bridesmaid but not the bride on the last two challenges, when I started thinking about one of their new neighbors and […]

I tell ‘ya, I’m on a roll! It sounds funny, but I had two– no, make it three incentives for finishing this project.  First, I was so far along, that once I got going, there was no turning back. Second, my feet were cold and I wanted them done. And third, but not least, I […]

In my constant endeavors to learn more and appreciate knitting, I was online last night, and decided to look up information about one of the authors of this book, which I recently purchased on Amazon at a super-bargain price.  
Knit 2 Together, by Tracey Ullman and Mel Clark is full of a lot of great patterns […]

While I am still working on the shrug of no pattern with the chunky yarn, I started to realize that I do need to have more than one project going at a time. I did start a pair of mittens for my son at one point, but he’s forgotten about them, and winter is pretty […]
