I didn’t post about it yesterday, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t get any knitting done. The golden shawl is growing quickly. I didn’t measure the length when I had it pinned out just now, but I did measure its width: 28 inches. It’s nice and wide, and it drapes beautifully, because of the silk. […]
Another of my favorite Frank Lloyd Wright windows is Tree of Life from the Darwin D. Martin house in New York. Simple elegance—and another piece of the inspiration for this shawl pattern. I made good progress on it over the weekend. Only eight more rows to knit of the first motif before moving on to […]
I’ve always been inspired by the simple elegance of Frank Lloyd Wright’s work—this window is from the Dana-Thomas house. I have some Silk Lace yarn from Claudia Hand Paints that’s been calling to me since it arrived at the end of January. The 100% silk lace weight yarn, combined with the delicate elegance of Claudia’s […]
The only thing I currently have on the needles is the secret project I’m working on, and the yarn still hasn’t arrived from Dee at Posh, so there’s a dearth of my own things to share with you. So, here are a couple things that have recently crossed my desk.
Berroco has introduced a new series […]
I love fuzzy yarn. There’s something, I dunno, comforting about it. No, it’s more than that. It’s not just comforting. I want to curl up with it, hold it, cuddle it, wrap myself in it. Be wrapped in its comforting folds. It goes deeper than that. Primal. Basic. Beyond yarn. Beyond warmth. Especially when it’s […]
I actually finished knitting two things on Sunday. The In the Woods, and a new knitting bag. I started felting the bag on Sunday, but the rubber band I was using to hold the pillow case closed kept coming off in the wash and the bag escaped. Lots of dark green fuzz ended up in […]
I’m a couple days late for “B” and the ABC Along. Sigh.
I’m still feeling a bit blue about the blue Mingus sock. I haven’t done a thing with it since I tried it on late last week, and it was, uh, a bit tough to tug over my heel. I really don’t want to […]
I met my friend Rebecca quite a few years ago when I lived in San Francisco. I had this friend Margaret, who had a sister who also lived in San Francisco. Margaret’s sister and Rebecca were friends. The sister was looking for people to volunteer time to help out at a triathlon that was happening […]
Being, uh, somewhat under the weather in May, I didn’t get all my May spectrum photos posted. There are a lot more green things around my house (and in my closet) than in these photos, but they’ll have to wait for some other photo project. For now this montage… Starting at the top left is […]
Every day I’m feeling a little better than the day before. I’ve been knitting again for about five days, and it’s wonderful. I’ve nearly finished up my Pomatomus socks (photo pending). I need to try them on properly. I did a different toe treatment on each sock, and will need to decide which I like […]
