The past 6 weeks or so have been unbelievably hectic for me. I am, for all intents and purposes, living in two places. I feel like I am moving on a weekly basis as I pack-up clothes and kit and go from the apartment to the farm, farm to the apartment. Between these commutes, I …
Today was another very good mail day. Whenever there is a package too big to fit into the mailbox or one needing a signature, the mailman backs his truck into the drive and honks. Usually twice. In a house with 4 dogs in it, this is tantamount to declaring war. You do not truly understand …
I have been working on Althea by Dutch Knitting Design otherwise known as my friend Marleen Van der Vorst. I started this at Woolfest on either the 24th or the 25th of June. Well, that’s not exactly correct as I started this yarn as a different pattern but quickly decided to use Marleen‘s pattern instead. …
I’ve not given a lot of space here to my knitting and crocheting projects of late as other aspects of my life have taken-up a great deal of my time. That doesn’t mean, however, that I’ve not been working on anything. On the contrary, I worked on an afghan right up until the movers packed …
Holy crap, that knitting just FLEW by! I love it when a pattern (in this case Simple Things by Mary-Heather Cogar) and a yarn (Skein Queen‘s Entwist in A Christmas Carol from the Knit magazine sock club) come together so very perfectly. At least in my opinion. The shawlete is a tad on the colorful …
I’ve had the strongest urge to start a new project for the past few days and I’ve kept stuffing it back down saying, “When I get done with this project…”. Well, that project had to go take an emergency bath and I allowed myself to cast-on a new project. I’ve really wanted to do something …
I have several thank you’s that I need to make for people who have donated sock yarn leftovers to the massive undertaking that is my sock yarn blanket. First off there is Tini, who sent me a great package with some sock yarn, beads and some candy. Always a good combo! Then I also got …
So, I have been working on some sock yarn projects the past week. One is a beginning and one is a finishing (finally!). I guess that I will start with the end. I finally (Praise Yarn!) finished my first pair of socks! I finished knitting the first sock some time ago but then never finished …
So on Monday I got yet another package from my lovely friend Tini this time containing all of her leftover bits of sock yarn. I am planning on knitting this blanket when, well, I don’t know what will have to happen to make it start… But I am planning on it as it is totally …
I finally got some stuff in the mail that I had been waiting for. One of the things came in these boxes: For those of you with sharp eyes, you might notice that the tape on the boxes matches that of a box I recieved prior to settting off for the States. Here’s another picture …
