It always amazes me what a difference it makes to the finished item when you go down a needle size.
Here you see the new Forget-Me-Not sock knit with size 0 needles resting on top of the completed one knit on size 1 needles. Both have 64 stitches. I lined up the right side of […]
I’ve been tagged twice for this meme, first by Rachel then by Melissa, which means I’d better do it before anyone else tags me. First, the rules:
Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
People who are tagged write a blog post about their own 8 random things and post these rules.

I saw this on Punkin’s blog, and thought I’d play. This was interesting. I’ve done a lot of things on the list, yet there are plenty I want to do. There are some that I have no current plans to do (hats, gloves, mittens, to name a few), which might change if I ever manage […]
Today’s SBQ was suggested by Heather.
How do you decide which stitching blogs are worth repeat and/or regular viewings? Are there certain things you look for in particular? Are there things you wish there were more of? Less of? Is your blog a good example of what you like to read?

There’s a place at San Francisco’s Embarcadero Center—in […]
In reading blogs this morning, I saw that Miriam had asked for and answered some interview questions. I had fun reading the links back through other people’s blogs, so asked Miriam for some questions. Here’s what she wants to know about me.
1. What is your favorite food?
My favorite food varies from day to day, […]
Do you lend your books to other people? If so, any restrictions? For the most part, no.
Do you borrow books from other people (friends or family—I’m not talking about the public library)? Again, for the most part, no.
And, most importantly—do the books you lend/borrow get returned to their rightful owners?? When I’ve […]
I knit up the rest of the toe of my first feather and fan sock. I have short feet, so my socks are also short. I know this. No surprise here.
But something seems amiss.
When I worked the toe late last week, it started out too long. I’d have to have had normal length […]
A couple weeks ago, we asked about how you take care of your books, with one of the questions asking whether you write in your books. Well, what about books that are meant to be written in? Like, say, a journal or diary? Do you keep one? Obviously, if you’re answering this, you have a […]
