I know it’s already January, but I’ve started thinking about Spring. The lettuce in my garden is still growing, but it and the carrots are my only winter “crops” (I realize I’m lucky to live somewhere warm enough to maintain those). I’m starting to get excited about gardening this year with all that I learned … Continue reading

Finishing Frenzy
I am dedicating January to finishing things I started last year! I have many projects that are almost finished, but just need a little attention, like the Monday Morning Cardigan above (my <ahem> Rhinebeck sweater) And, a couple of projects that were supposed to be finished for Christmas but, um, aren’t. So, I’m trying to … Continue reading
Happy 2010!
I am one of those people who likes a fresh start, like this new blog space and the new year. If anything, 2009 taught me that things can change faster than you can imagine and opportunity can come where you least expect it. After working for Ravelry part time (on top of my full time … Continue reading

Summertime, and the knitting is easy

Sewwww…
I got my new sewing machine, and have been so busy using it, that I haven’t even posted about it! I ended up purchasing a Janome 4800QC, but they didn’t have one in stock, so I got a 4900QC instead (yay for free upgrades). And, it got here in two days with free shipping, an … Continue reading
New Macheen!*
I settled on a new sewing machine, thanks largely to all of the advice spurred on by a previous post, and it is in transit! On it's way! It will be here tomorrow! To make it even better, we're off on Friday (kid has a school holiday so we both took off), which means that … Continue reading
Salina: The Recap
My first NaKniSweMoDo Sweater took me two months instead of one. Hopefully, I can make up some ground with tanks/vests in the summer months. Anyway, since Carolyn insists, here's the recap (day by day recap on ravelry)! Basically, I LOVE this sweater! I just steam blocked it, and I definitely did a better job of … Continue reading
