coulda woulda shoulda

I have not been myself this past week.  This is what I should be finishing up.  Just two sleeves to go.  Two little sleeves…but sometimes two little sleeves are just too much.  I found myself sitting in front of an armoire full of yarn last week, shaking my head and saying “I have nothing to [...]

new obsession

Or maybe it’s the old obsession kicking back in, but all I want to do is spin and knit this. 75% natural-colored Coopworth/Romney cross, 15% BFL and 10% tussah silk from Maple Row Stock and Wool.  Drafts like butter, is soft as all get out, and I’ve already swatched and cast on for my next [...]

Holiday knitting

The fact that Christmas is ten days away finally hit me this morning.  Fortunately, I only have two things that I HAVE to have finished – a wee little scarf and a pair of socks. The scarf has been started and frogged but I’m not really worried about that.  I can do garter stitch in [...]

knitting for nothing

First – thanks for all your sympathy!  The stereo is playing just fine and now I’m dealing with getting accident reports and estimates.  Fun. Now.  Back to the topic at hand.  Have you ever spent a few days knitting and have absolutely nothing to show for it?  That’s where I’m at. I realized on our last [...]

scattered, smothered and covered

Lately I feel like I’ve been thrown on the Waffle House grill – going in all directions and looking for a friendly spatula to pull me back together. I finished my sweater back at knit night last Thursday and blocked it over the weekend. Looks like a couple of spiders crawling up the back, doesn’t [...]

cable love

I just started this and I can’t put it down. Why didn’t somebody tell me cables were this much fun?!?! Have a great weekend!  I’ll be knitting cables.

wip it out wednesday

Ha, I wonder how much more spam that title will generate!  Couldn’t possibly be more than what I’m currently getting.  I had no idea so many fetishes existed.  Ahem. Okay, so thank you for all the comments on my last post!  I’ll have to keep that soap box handy; I enjoyed reading everyone’s opinions and [...]

stash busting – the BBP (or Big Blanket Project)

I started knitting a blanket out of handspun this week.  I told a friend recently that I’m feeling overwhelmed by all the handspun I have and was thinking of knitting a blanket.  She kind of scoffed at me; I’m pretty sure she was doubtful I had that  much handspun that I’d need to tackle a project so [...]

*ouch*

This has been an ouch week.  Tuesday I had to be prepped for a crown and honestly, I’m a big baby when it comes to going to the dentist.  I always have been.  When I was little, the dentist had my mom give me a sedative before my appointment.  She crushed it up and put it [...]
