I finished Birch this weekend! YAY! Well, I half finished it, anyway. I was trying to make it like a rectancular wrap because I wanted to wrap it around my shoulders and tie it in the back, with it just being straight across the back. The problem, I hadn’t yet picked out the dress for … Continue reading →

Several friend updates have been happening around here lately. Yesterday, I got a call from my friend from college. I’ve been a slacker about keeping up with her so we don’t talk very often. But, the last time she was over (it had to have been six months ago) I was showing her all of … Continue reading →

But I don’t. I ended up staying home sick on Friday and got some knitting time in. I really needed a day to just sit on the couch but my oh my was I bored out of my mind! I did get some progress in on birch and am now up around 10 inches complete. … Continue reading →

I’m not! I’m rather surprised that I’m not due to the trouble I had with it initially. I’m making good progress. I have about four inches completed. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but since you decrease stitches everytime, it should just continue to get faster and faster. I am still getting quicker with the … Continue reading →

I need to finish something. It just occurred to me today that I have not finished anything since February when I finished the Ribby Shell. Unbelievable.

This week marks one year since I started this blog. It all started because I was a part of the Boatneck Shell knitalong and wanted somewhere to chronicle my experiences for the other knitalongers. It has grown into much more. Through this blog I not only have a community of support and input, but I … Continue reading →

It all started Friday night with a trip to my not-so LYS. It’s generally about a 20 minute drive from where I work, which is about 30 minutes from where I live. It also happens to be in the heart of the city which means that traffic is insane. So, it took me about 45 … Continue reading →

When last we joined our unlikely heroine, she had decided to conquer Birch. Her sidekicks were astonished at her selection since the challenge might be insurmountable in light of the other villains that loom in the distance. But wait, what’s that light shining on the horizon. It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s the … Continue reading →
