I took pictures of the ponchos for you, but my camera is in the car and my car is way across the parking lot and I’m wearing heels. I went to the post office yesterday and waited in line for 30 minutes only to discover that it would cost more to ship the package than … Continue reading →

Two down, two to go.  I’m hoping to have three of them complete by Saturday, with the final one given to the recipient by Monday.  I think it’s possible, even though I’m going to have to take out the cast off edge on one of them and make it longer.  It’s hard to make things … Continue reading →

The long weekend involved knitting my little hands off.  Okay, my hands aren’t that little (my husband says they are freakishly large) and they are still attached to my arms, but they’re  a bit sore from the overuse.  I worked on the Super Secret Project quite a bit.  I completed 15% of it over the … Continue reading →

I am so thankful that it is a short week!  Okay, I’m thankful for more than that, but that list will follow.  I do want to thank Stef for the fabulous yarn that she sent me months ago that I’ve just now knitted up.  I used the yarn Stef sent, which is so soft, with … Continue reading →

My first project from the Last Minute Knitted Gifts book has already been completed!  And gifted!  I made the Airy scarf for my friend, Candace, for her birthday.  We went out to dinner on Saturday night and had a fabulous time!  Here’s the scarf close-up. I didn’t get a good picture of it from a … Continue reading →

This week I have been knitting.  I probably haven’t made as much progress on my Super Secret project as I need to, but I’ve gotten some other things done.  The SuperBaby sweater is almost finished.  I just need to seam the sleeves.  My eyes were crossing last night after seaming the rest of it and … Continue reading →

So the SuperBaby sweater is all knitted and just needs to be assembled, technically.  Except for the fact that I didn’t realize until I had bound off that one sleeve was a bit too short…like 4 rows short.  How is this possible?  My measuring abilities have clearly failed me.  What to do now?  Part of … Continue reading →

I didn’t think I’d have anything to show you anytime soon since I’m consumed with Christmas gift knitting, but I actually made something I can show you.  Only to realize this morning that the camera batteries are dead and I can’t find the charger.  Isn’t that just how it goes?  Instead, I will rely on … Continue reading →

We’ve got answers.  I just wanted to answer a few of the questions I’ve seen around the knitters blogisphere lately because I thought they were fun topics and because I’m working away on Christmas presents that I can’t show you!  I will show you one at the end of the entry, just because a blog … Continue reading →
