KNITSTER

I’m still dawdling my way back to knitting, having made a couple more feet progress on the scarf I started over a year ago. My left wrist is acting up so I’m back to doing a lot of the physical therapy type stuff just on my own. I did lose 20 pounds, so that’s helping. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Do you remember a while ago I was drooling over a Jordana Paige Knitter’s Satchel as expressed in this post? Well, sometimes “dreams” come true! It’s also a case of persistence (and persuasion) pays off! I got after JC enough that I REALLY wanted the bag, and had been drooling over it for so long, […]

I’ve been eyeballing this for minimally a year, if not more:

Isn’t it gorgeous? And what does this have to do with knitting? It’s a Jordana Paige Knitter’s Satchel. I was originally looking at one of the messenger bags, but in thinking that I already have several messenger bags, and needing a real purse of sorts […]

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 […]

I think I can speak for all the Knitsters here that we’re all still around, but just each have very busy summers! And we’re all working on bits and pieces of different projects, but as any good knitter knows, some projects take longer than others.
As for myself, I have several projects going on at the […]

Related to MDSW, I was talking to my son last night, explaining where I was going over the weekend while he had a “Boys’ Weekend” with his dad. He understood that it was like a “Girls/Mommies’ Weekend/Sleepover”. I explained a bit about what the festival was about, and he made the connection with the sheep […]

A while ago, my knitting pal (former SP) Cheryl (HI CHERYL!) turned me onto “Crazy Aunt Purl” (www.crazyauntpurl.com), which is written by a lovely Southern gal named Laurie who discovered knitting as a means of creative therapy during a painful divorce. I love reading her blog all the time now. She’s just so cute, and acts […]

My friend Sandy is a quilter. Nothing wrong with that, in fact, she is incredibly talented at what she does. Check out her website, Quilty as Charged, to take a peek. She asked me a while ago to help her with a thumbless mitten knitting pattern that she was making for her daughter Julia. She […]
