I found another shawl pattern that I like, Wing-of-the-Moth Shawl. I first saw word of it on Moth Heaven a few days ago, but since the pattern wasn’t available yet, I didn’t take the time to go look. It seems that an impromptu race started regarding the knitting of this shawl. I’m amazed at the […]
Lest you assume that I haven’t been working on my shawl, here’s a photo for you to prove otherwise. I’ve finished the first repeat (there will be three) of chart one. Now to add a new lifeline and continue knitting on it this evening.
I’ve been working on the lap blanket today while reading stuff […]
I didn’t get much time in on the lap blanket this weekend. I was hardly in my office at all. Not that I’m complaining. I did manage to finish up the first block with the darkest color, you can see it there on the far right of the photo, and this morning I started […]
As I look back at last week’s photo, I see that though it didn’t feel like I got that much done, I actually did. I finished up all of the large leaf on the left—there’s still one to go—as well as tons of confetti and a bit of fill in work. Most of the confetti […]
Yes. I’ve been knitting too much when I should be doing other things. In some vague way that I can’t express, knitting makes me feel better when I haven’t been getting much sleep, like this week.

This week’s questions were inspired by Caroline. She can’t read The Joy Luck Club without thinking of potstickers and wontons… And no, we’re not talking about cookbooks here. Please leave those out of this discussion.
Do you enjoy books that have cooking or eating scenes in them? Sometimes, yes, but not always. It depends on how […]
I knit longer than I probably should have last night, but I wasn’t sleeping anyway, so… And, if truth be told, I’ve probably had the blanket on my lap more often than not today. But I was only knitting while I was waiting for web pages to update.
The magic of knitting with large needles […]
Ami asks:
Do you have an organizational system for
your fabric? If so, what is it? If not, what do you store your fabric in?
I have my fabric in two separate places. One drawer in my DMC cabinet is full of fabric, and I have one Rubbermaid container—originally purchased to hold yarn—is nearly full of fabric. One […]
I was catching up on Margene’s blog late last night, and saw this post about Margene’s friend Karen and the incredible entrelac lace stole that she knit. Oh my. It’s called Forest Path Stole, and it’s in the Summer 2003 edition of Interweave Knits.
Oh my.
I have quite a few Interweave Knits magazines, but by […]
