There’s a been pretty quick turnover of patterns lately. You know about Quenington, a fun zigzag scarf I did last week. It’s being test knit by Elisabeth (sadly blogless). Then there was a secret project. It’s all done but the testing. Yes, I designed and knit two projects in about nine days. Sort of scary, […]
Back on July 13 I promised I’d give you more information about the Sevilla design. I can’t believe it’s been more than a week already! Gads. Sorry about that. Here’s the pattern info for you:
Pattern: Sevilla, of my own devising, currently being test knit by Dixie.
Yarn: Fibre-Isle, Kami Bison, 2 hanks in Bleuice.
Needles: Size […]
I was just looking at my blog stats, then looked again. I knew, I just knew that today was Wednesday. Gak. Seems I dropped a day somewhere. Even my daily calendar was off by day, saying definitely that today was the fifteenth. Ha! I was spot on Monday. I wonder which day I “slept” through. […]
You know what? This was a really hard poll for me. I love all the pattern names in it. They’re all fabulous. But right from the start there was one that stood out for me: Sevilla. I know, I know! I’m actually invoking my right to choose a name other than the winning one. To […]
Thank you all for your fabulous shawl name suggestions. There were so many that I just picked my favorites for this poll. Before voting for your favorite one, you owe it to yourself to read the descriptions. They’re all fabulous. Some of you really put a lot of thought and research into your suggestions. The […]
Welcome to all who are here for the Sweet Summer blog tour, hosted by Karen and her Cotton Spice blog.
Yes, it’s really been a week since I last posted. Honestly, I can’t believe how quickly a week goes by these days. I think I’m starting to get the real gist of Grandma’s complaint about how […]
I wanted to see how far I’ve really gotten, so last night after getting a fair amount of knitting done on the new shawl I traded needle tips for plugs, got the fabric wet, and pinned it out on the bed to block and dry over night. Blocking this way is far from perfect, but […]
You maybe, but not me. Sorry to tease you. Even after years of the occasional attempt, and actually (at least sometimes) enjoying the smell of it, I still abhor coffee. The coffee I’m talking about here is the color. Colors. My good friend Denise (sadly blogless) loves her coffee, and each week as I work […]
It’s official. I’m delighted that I ripped out all that knitting and all those beads last week and started over with different beads. Though for a lot of things I do like matching the color of the beads to the yarn so that the beads just add a little sparkle, a little texture, it turns […]
Dave thinks the lovely taupe color of this yarn looks like dust bunnies. Especially from a distance. Especially when the knitting is bunched up and small, like it is now.
Yes, you heard me say, “Small, like it is now.”
This is because all that lovely knitting that I showed you the other day is gone. All […]
