Do you stitch for events like weddings, engagements, or other things that might not last? If you have been unlucky and the two people broke up, what happened to your stitched gift?
I’ve never stitched for a wedding or engagement. I think the closest I can come is having stitched (and knit or crocheted blankets) for […]

I have no idea when I wrote to DMC requesting these goodies, but they arrived in yesterday’s mail. I liked the pattern a lot more in the magazine, so I don’t think I’ll keep it. But I am keeping the DMC #5 Perle Cotton, in lovely shade 211. Yum. No idea what I’ll do with […]

As usual, I’m a combination of things, but I think this one’s closest to the mark.

Your Brain’s Pattern

You have a tempered, reasonable way of thinking.
You tend to take every new idea in, and meld it with your world view.
For you, everything is always changing. Each moment is different.
Your thinking process tends to be very natural—with […]

I had several good answers for a number of questions, so it took me a while to find a result that I was happy with. It’s still not completely accurate. I’m not always that stubborn!

You are Mohair.
You are a warm and fuzzy type who works well with others, doing your share without being too […]

I’m at my best in the early morning. Ha ha ha ha ha. Um. No.
I start each day with a healthy breakfast. Most days I have a very healthy shake for breakfast, along with my tea. A good diet can only get me so far without my once-daily transfusion of caffeine. Well, most days I […]

I didn’t get anywhere near as much done on this last week as I’d hoped, but I did manage to finally finish the large leaf. It’s even outlined. I’ve now moved on to the third leaf of the trio, and you can see a tiny bit of progress there.

After much searching, I still haven’t found that blog with all the finished bags on it yet (sure wish I’d bookmarked it!), but Kim shared a site she likes, Knit Kit, and they have some fabulous bags. The patterns are very reasonably priced. Then someone on the Townsend Sock KAL provided a link to an […]

I’ve been resisting. Mostly because most of the knitted, felted bags I see aren’t, um, exactly my style, shall we say? Though I’ve seen some possibility, especially in some of them. Then I happened across a blog the other day, which I’ve since lost, where the blogger has been knitting handbags up the kazoo, and […]

Maybe what I really need to do is to listen to so really good blues. It’s been one of those weeks. Hardly got any stitching or knitting in, and that’s a sure sign. Only two weeks left to finish up my Amble socks by the deadline. At this rate there’s no way I’ll make it. […]

I now have a little yarn and needle graphic for the top of my blog, and I hobbled together a little button to match. The button’s over in my sidebar. The button was fun, but was a lot more work than I thought it ought to be. I ended up doing the words completely by […]
