I’ve dug up some of my mom’s knitting mags from the 70s and 80s. Some of this stuff is rich: cabled pantsuits!! Full-length dresses! I am going to have such a great time with this.

This is the teddy bear I knitted for my favorite coworker’s baby shower. He and his wife were totally tickled.

Since no one has posted here for ages, including me (and I was the last one to post), I thought I’d put something knitworthy on here, to [...]

OK, I’m working with Cat Bordhi’s “Socks Soar on Circular Needles” book, trying to make my first sock ever, and working on the Simple Sock pattern.
Done so far:
Leg: CHECK
Heel Flap : CHECK
Turning Heel: CHECK
Picking up Gusset Stitches: Um, I think?
This is where I’m getting stuck. If I read this correctly, after I finished [...]

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 [...]

I can’t believe that I’m excited about a knitting magazine, no less something from Family Circle. But I liked the summer issue I had gotten of Family Circle Easy Knitting, and by chance, while going to the supermarket to pick up some milk and some dishwasher pacs, I decided to go see if there were [...]

Turns out the bag I’m working on had a correction–remember how I was saying that I was knitting the wrong multiple? It _was_ a messed up pattern!
Accord Publishing - Knitting Corrections
Glad I figured it out. But the neato thing is that the publishing company published the whole pattern, corrected, to their Web site! It’s [...]
