Off the needles and some loves...

Happy Sunday! This big girl is done. I think with any knit that uses approximately 800 plus yards of yarn, I was a tad relieved when it was done. Since the lighting was not cooperating with me today (super bright), you only get to view her in teaser type shots.... Continue reading

Progression of knitting...

News flash, I am not a monogamous knitter. Heh, as if you guys didn't already know. I often wonder if you guys are thinking, I wonder what happened to this project or that project. I know I sometimes do. I saw a question posted on Eskimimi's blog, asking you to... Continue reading

Wrong color for the season?

Could just be me, but I seem to be attracted to fall/winter colors in the summer. Warm, rich colors seem to want to jump on my needles. Who I am to stop them? Now it's just not the colors I am drawn to, but winter-type knits as well. Heavier shawls,... Continue reading

It is Sunday and I have some fun discoveries to share. Maybe they are only fun for me, but if you could humor me. Remember how I started knitting this shawl with the purpose of knitting something with my most beautiful yarn? With each stitch I thought more and more... Continue reading

One of those days...

By one of those days, I mean one of those good days. I don't have many down days. Most of my days are spent up. That is not to say by any means that my life is perfect. It is to say that on those days when maybe my health... Continue reading

Knitting lessons learned and loves...

A wise friend told me a way to beat my "all over the place" knitting mindset was to cast on something new. Ah, this friend is so smart. It was exactly what I needed. That is not to say, that I did not like the projects I was working, but... Continue reading

All Over The Place...

Quiet knitting...

Happy Sunday! It has been a nice enjoyable Sunday. How about yours? A comment on one of my images on Flickr got me thinking about my knitting environment. That is the best way I can think to describe it. The comment on Flickr asked if I was a multi-tasker, knitting... Continue reading

Happy Easter and a Winner...

Happy Sunday and Happy Easter to you if you celebrate. Not to complain, but my day started a tad earlier than expected. By tad earlier I mean at 1:45 a.m. I have been battling what started as a sinus infection and now has settled in as a cold. No big... Continue reading

Inspired to knit?

If I am to be perfectly honest, it doesn't require too much inspiration for me to pick up the needles. It could be something like a the perfect pattern and yarn combination. At times I can be found staring at my beautiful yarn, trying to decide what it wants to... Continue reading

Talking about socks and favorites...

It will come as no surprise to any of you that I love to knit socks. Past posts may have defined me as a crazy sock lady. Why do I knit socks? Living in a state that only has "winter" weather 2 months out of the year, doesn't offer any... Continue reading

Love of Football and other loves...

Here are the socks that football anxiety knit. Nothing special, just some plain vanilla socks with a workhorse yarn. The fact that I didn't have to wind it, made it exactly what I needed to watch my Denver Broncos in the playoffs. I didn't want to risk working on my... Continue reading
