I’m pretty sure I should be freaking out with anxiety-itis about now, but…nope. Believe it or not, I’ve got things under control. Never mind that I just cast on my final Xmas gift today – I’ve got it in hand (literally – it’s a pair of fingerless gloves). Last week, however, was a different story.… Read More Feelin’ Surprisingly Chill
I made some ultra cute stuff this week. Seriously…you’re going to die. I won’t even bother with a bunch of pre amble. Words can’t. Here’s the knitted one: This is Pug With Anorak by Barbara Prime from her book, Fuzzy Knits. Bursting at the seams with so much adorable, it should be illegal. I even… Read More Brace yourself…
Short (and sad) story today… Most of my knitting time this week got sucked up with…sigh…obligations. Ugh. Sometimes I need to remember that I share my life with another person, my HE – husband equivalent (a very lovely person, I might add) and that he needs my company and attention now and then.

No, it’s not knit yet, but I have plan and… Read More Swatch This…
In case you’ve been hanging out under a rock recently…Christmas is coming. Those three little words evoke varying degrees of terror in many folks, but they make knitters want to curl up in the fetal position under a bulky-knit blanket. We want to knit warm, cozy, pretty, squishy, and charming knits for everyone we know.… Read More The Big What If…
…since my last post. Yikes! I wish I had a clever, or even valid, excuse. I can’t count the number of times I’ve written blog posts in my head, but never took the logical next step. Humans are nuts sometimes – that’s about the best I can do. Anyway, I’ve forgiven myself, and I hope… Read More Two years, eight months, six days
As promised – current project on Nicole’s kneedles: These gloves are specifically designed for the hardcore smart phone addict (namely, moi). Not only do they have a convertible mitten top that exposes half-nude finger tips, they also have an adorable flip-back thumb tip for texting on the go – Brilliant! The pattern is the Podster… Read More I think I’m in glove…
