I promised blog content once a week, and, two months into this year, I'm definitely having trouble with this goal. I blame life, though. It's crazy! Each time I think there will be a moment to breath, the moment is over before I exhale. But, I hate excuses. Instead, I'll just launch right into what's … Continue reading The Days, They are A’Flyin’!

And, that is Why they are Goals, Not Resolutions
So, I missed last week. I thought about posting. I really did. I just got a little overwhelmed by all the celebrities dying. Around my birthday (it was last week). As I march slowly to middle age, and, ultimately, death. (See. Total downer. I did you all a favor by skipping last week.) I did … Continue reading And, that is Why they are Goals, Not Resolutions
It Catches Up…
Everything has finally caught up to me--the holidays, the lack of sleep, the everything. I was so happy to be back home (despite loving my extended family) because it meant time with my yarn, time with my fabric, and time with my brand-spanking-new Copic markers. But then, everything caught up to me, as did a … Continue reading It Catches Up…
Diagonal Striping
As I suspected, I was not able to find the chunky yarn I "tested" with for the scarf pattern the other day. No biggie. I just frogged the few rows I had and rolled it back into a ball. I have several different color balls of that yarn, so I'm just going to turn it … Continue reading Diagonal Striping
Shell Stitch Scarf (and Some Other Stuff…)
As you can see, the shell stitch scarf, c'est fini! I love how it turned out, although, Maggie finds it a little bulky. She'll appreciate it when the temps are below freezing, though. Those hexagons up there should be a little familiar. They used to look like this: I didn't like how busy it looked, so … Continue reading Shell Stitch Scarf (and Some Other Stuff…)
Finished and Unfinished
Okay. It's been a while, and because of that, there is a lot to share. These are not in any particular order. I'm currently working on the last item pictured. It's a star stitch scarf I'm making for Mags to go with her Chance of Flurries hat I finished last week. That goofy looking lady … Continue reading Finished and Unfinished
Oblique Sweater and a Not Finished Painting
As promised, here are some progress photos on various projects. I'm knitting up a sweater--for ME! I'm using the Oblique pattern I found on Ravelry. I like it, despite my mistake of twisting my YOs in the wrong direction. (I did it on purpose. Why? Because I thought I was doing them wrong and thought … Continue reading Oblique Sweater and a Not Finished Painting
Too Bad I’m Already Overextended…
I'm AWESOME!, and I think I need to knit these panties to let everyone know. Unfortunately, I already have a few projects going, so I'll have to skip it...for now. Darn. If you're AWESOME!, and want knit yourself a pair of these classy drawers, you can click the picture above. I linked it to the … Continue reading Too Bad I’m Already Overextended…
The Linnie Sweater is FINISHED!
Linnie is finished! I'm pretty happy to have at least one project completely finished. Opens up room for more! (Which is good, because I started making some toss pillows for my couch--more on that another time.) I love the feel of the yarn I used (Cascade Yarns Heritage Solids for the body, and Knit One … Continue reading The Linnie Sweater is FINISHED!
Baby Sweater–Nearing completion!
Getting closer to "done!" The photos I took yesterday evening where before I started the second sleeve. I'm really close to finishing this project, which makes me happy, since I have other projects lined up to work on. I just have to say--armholes are the pits. (Pun unapologetically intended.) I fiddled with that first arm … Continue reading Baby Sweater–Nearing completion!
