I know. I haven’t blogged in an age. I’ve been busy. Plus the dearth of real comments has made me wonder if my efforts at continuing to spend the time blogging are at all worthwhile. Honestly, I received 25 spam comments since October 1, and only five real comments since September 1. Though I love […]
After a yummy stuffed pork chop dinner and a movie, we wandered out onto the deck last night for a short nightcap and to enjoy the evening air. Ricki loves evenings on the deck. She was out there and waiting for us long before we had everything arranged. We finally got our ducks in a […]
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 […]
Knitting lace definitely falls into that “magical” category. We take this puddle of knitting that really doesn’t look like anything at all,
then we spread it out on the floor, and pin it out. From yarn puddle to diamonds, pure magic. Dave’d say it’s PFM. But he doesn’t. He just says, “Yes, Dear.” He likes the […]
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 […]
First off, I want to thank each and every one of you who came out of lurk-dom to leave me a comment over the last couple of days. I truly appreciate the effort you took. It made my day. Truly.
In fact, I felt so good that I finally felted the clogs I knit back […]
A bit of this and that…
It’s the time of year to submit your finished scarves to the Red Scarf Project. If you need a free pattern to knit, there’s a pretty cabled scarf pattern available over on Knitting Daily.
Ahoy, mateys. It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day! Cap’ns Chumbucket and Slappy have two books […]
I blocked and measured my swatch when we were in Palm Springs, but it can be hard to tell exactly how big a lace stole will be when everything’s put together. Last night, after I finished the first full repeat of the fern motif, I moved the whole thing onto a piece of yarn. I […]
Somehow the weekend got away from me—like that’s never happened before—and I didn’t get nearly as much knitting done as I wanted to. The border is coming along splendidly, though I do wish I’d been able to get more time in on it. I really wanted to be farther by now. I’m quite happy with […]
I found a different flower pattern that has a very similar feel to yesterday’s (at a glance it looks almost exactly the same), but is easier to knit, and I like the over all look of it better. I knit several repeats of this new pattern late yesterday, then pulled it all out and knit […]
