I’m anxious to start knitting Ariann. (The knit-along with Julie starts on Saturday.) I’ve been working on Christmas projects, so it isn’t as if I haven’t started anything new lately. (Ravelry members can see my Ravelry notebook for 2 projects that have not been mentioned here so as to avoid spoiling Christmas […]

This blog has actually only existed since August, but November 19th was the anniversary of my first post(s) on Blue Thing Pie, which is where I first ventured into knit-blogging. I knew it was in the latter half of November, but until today I forgot to check what the […]

I was able to get a lot of knitting done while being out of town. But more about that later in the week.
Today I took the time to take the Lace Chuppah off the needles and onto waste yarn, and spread it out on our table to photograph it. So I’ll let this […]

That’s what I’ll be doing at this time tomorrow…driving with Brian to Ohio for Thanksgiving. I won’t have internet access while we are gone, so no posts until after we get home again.
I have my suitcase packed, but I have yet to pack any knitting. I’m still undecided on what to bring. The Tiffany Mittens […]

Since the purple is too similar to my Kohl’s sweater, and…
Julie is already planning to use Cascade 200 in Summer Sky (or something similar), and…
I’ve discovered that orange is a scary color to try to pick out online (the same colorway looks so different photographed by different people in different lighting and viewed on different […]

(I know…two posts in one day!)
A while ago, my online friend Julie (juliebug on Ravelry) and I discovered that we both had Ariann on our “to knit” lists. We decided that it would be fun to have a little two person knit-along, at some vague point in the future when our lives and other […]

Today is Tuesday. My last post was on Friday. On Saturday I decided that I would give up on NaBloPoMo. I just don’t have enough going on to be able to come up with enough content for a post every day. And when there is enough going on, I don’t have the motivation to find […]

Today was the first day that has been cold enough for me to think about wearing a winter coat.
I needed a new winter coat, because I’ve been wearing the same one for a couple years and it was starting to show. Plus I have to walk kind of a long way from where I […]

Earlier tonight I was able to recover what was nearly a knitting disaster. A bit of back-story first…
I’ve been working diligently on the lace chuppah for the past two weeks. I was able to join the 12th ball of yarn tonight and I’m up to about 45% finished. The chuppah is probably close to 6′ […]
