I have a plan for my Crackerjack and I’m SO excited! For those who aren’t familiar, the Crackerjack is a recipe for an infinity scarf worked in stripes where the colors each represent the wins and losses of your baseball team. We don’t have many opportunities here to wear a big infinity scarf, though I do … Continue reading

Five on Friday
Just a few random things that I’m thinking about today (and a random picture of C2’s Dino watching him eat breakfast this morning). A couple of years ago, Stacey came up with the great idea of the Crackerjack pattern! I started one that year, but failed to complete it…truth be told, I didn’t make … Continue reading
Trusting the Swatch
I did a swatch before making my Newsom cardigan. I washed it and dried it and measured it before and after so I could see how much it grew. I got gauge and moved forward with my project. Then, I bound off my cardigan. And panicked a bit. It didn’t fit! It was way too … Continue reading
Frogged
Last night, I had a finished sweater. With just ends left to weave in before blocking, I had just about reached the finish line on my Newsom cardigan. Then, this morning, while weaving in ends, I noticed a tension problem at one edge that made it look like there was a hole in the knitting. … Continue reading
The Great Stash Re-org: Phase 1
Before we moved, I got all of my stash out and gave quite a bit away to my local knit/crochet friends, but I never got around to reorganizing after that. Mostly, I really want my stash to be up to date in Ravelry. I am so much more likely to use it if I can … Continue reading
Buy Me Some Peanuts and…
Crackerjacks! Baseball season is here, and while it’s not my favorite sport to watch (sorry baseball, I’m a football girl at heart), I do like keeping track of it and going to a game when I can. So, when I heard about the Crackerjack project, I knew I had to do it. Basically, you knit … Continue reading
The Arrow Led Here
I had a lot of fun doing Ysolda’s Follow Your Arrow shawl mystery knit along (finished pictures below – if you’re still avoiding spoilers). I had never done one, and it was exciting to see what was coming next each week. I did pretty well staying up with the clues until the end, and it … Continue reading
Following Your Arrow
I’ve never done a mystery knit-along before. I tend to be pretty picky about the patterns I want to make, and I want to see the finished product before I make it. But, when I heard Ysolda was doing one, I decided to give it a shot. Well, I ended up having so much fun … Continue reading
C2’s Sweater
I made Carson a sweater for Rhinebeck, and then it was entirely too warm for him to actually wear it. Mary-Heather did take some pictures at our Rhinebeck house of him in it, but then I lost my camera (boo). The weekend after we got home, I was finally able to get some pictures of … Continue reading
Taking the High Road
The Ravellenics totally gave me my knitting mojo back, and I’m so excited about it! I made High Road out of MadelineTosh Pashmina from my stash and joined in with the main forum moderators on Ravelry in Team DBAJ. It was a lot of fun to watch all of the great projects they worked on, … Continue reading
