KNITSTER

I hadn’t realized that nobody had written here since, well, last year, just around Thanksgiving time. I suppose it was a busy holiday season and new year for us Knitsters! This is not to say that we weren’t busy with knitting activities. Okay, so I can only speak for myself. But actually I was knitting [...]

Hello KNITSTER fans!
We’re all still here, just very busy with life and knitting, of course. I have put down the lace and the socks in favor of getting some holiday knitting done. Since I know none of the recipients are reading, I am in the process of making 3 scarves and a bunch [...]

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 [...]

No, that subject isn’t a typo at all.
I was looking at eBay, since I hadn’t been there for a while, just doing some window shopping, so to speak, and I came across this in my browsing….

This is a trading card of some sort showing Queen Victoria herself spinning on a wheel made by some [...]

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 [...]

I’m fortunate that my son actually doesn’t mind wearing cardigan like sweaters, or really, I should say, sweater hoodies. For years before she moved up here permanently, my mother in law would buy these acrylic, densely machine knit hoodie sweaters that had all these Andean patterns on them when she was in Ecuador. Drew loved [...]

Hello Knitsters!
It’s been a while since any of us posted, but let’s face it– spring is upon us. And does that mean we stop knitting? Of course not! Heck, in fact, we might be knitting maniacs right now, too busy to write. (Yeah, and it could be that we are just plain busy too!)
Well, you [...]

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 [...]

I finally completed yet another pair of wristwarmers. Although I could use a pair myself, I think I’m done with doing them for a while. Since November, I’ve made 5 pairs. FIVE. Can you believe that? And that’s in between everything else! And that doesn’t include the actual mittens I made. I’m glad that [...]

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 [...]
