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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Do you remember when, not too long ago, I posted a few finished things, which included Oceandirt’s Mittens? (Her mittens are the very first photo in the post.) Well, I finally got my buttocks into gear, and finally mailed them to her. While she lives relatively closeby (maybe a half hour away), my schedule has […]

So. Here I am, the prodigal blogger of Knitster, but I do not return empty-handed! [or empty-headed!]

I *have* been knitting, but I’ve been delinquent in my blogging. I decided to attempt something fun and quick, so that I could post about it and get back on track - and that Calorimetry would […]

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 […]
