Winding the Skeins
I haven’t worked on Winding the Skeins for almost a year. What with all the frustration with the skin color on her hand, I just didn’t feel like it. She’s been starting to call to me again, finally, and so when I finished Stepsisters I picked her up. Sometime between July and now […]
Today’s SBQ was suggested by Kathryn.
How many needles do you use during a project? Have you ever loaded up a needle for every color? Do you use a new needle for every project or recycle your favorite needle?
I use one needle for multiple projects. When I rotate I put the empty needle on […]
I finished up the knitting bag on Sunday, and I love it.
I started with the pinned lining, and sewed it up—after figuring out (again) how to wind a bobbin and thread my sewing machine. For the most part, the sewing machine behaved, and I ended up with a nice bag. Got out the ironing […]
I’m not done knitting my forget-me-not socks yet, but my notes were good enough (I hope) that I wrote up a free sock pattern to share with you. I even have a .pdf file so you can print it out that way, if you prefer.
The sock is knit top down with Panda Cotton from […]
I habitually spell it with an “a,” but regardless of how you spell it, there’s gray and then there’s gray. Which can be confusing when what you really want is gray. Hm.
What I want is gray thread that sufficiently matches the gray fabric that’s to be the lining of my new gray knitting bag. […]
Ouch
There’s this molar. The one all the way in the back, lower left. It’s been a little finicky for a while. You know. A little sensitive to heat and cold. Some days more than others. I knew that I’d have to get it taken care of before too long, but as such things go, I […]
Liz gave us a link this morning to the IMBA’s 100 favorite mysteries of the 20th century. It’s fun reading through the list. There are a lot of old favorites there, some I didn’t remember reading until I saw them on the list. I printed it out. The list’ll be a great thing to take […]
Saturday at Sue’s
There was a mini get together of our local stitching group at Sue’s house on Saturday. I say “mini” GTG because, including Sue, there were only three of us. Sue, Darla, and me. We may have been a small group, but we had a marvelous time. We shared current projects, recently finished stuff, […]
While it is wonderful to have our own servers to use for our web sites, some times it can be a bit of a pain. Especially when Dave is the one who knows how to figure out and fix all the problems (like today’s), and he’s gone. Not home. In meetings. All. Day. But he […]
I made the mistake of visiting Blue Moon’s site this morning. I added three more colorways to my STR lightweight wish list: Lunasea, Undertoe, and Tide Pool. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Basically a lot of the same colors that I always go for, but you know what? They go best with my clothes, […]
