I became inspired the other day and broke out some thread and an itty bitty crochet hook and hooked this bad boy right here. I like doing doilies because they are super complex, super intricate and super quick. This seriously took me less than a week from start to finish.... Continue reading

I don't think I've ever been happier in all my life. The Fost Flowers and Leaves Shawl is done! I actually finished "the never ending shawl" and I am completely beside myself. I started this in February of 2007 - according to my Ravelry start date - so it took... Continue reading

Current projects

I seriously hate that I've been too busy to blog. I hate even more that I just finished spinning to bobbins of yarn that I started something like 5 months ago! That's right people I said five months ago! Another thing I hate is that with all my enthusiasm to... Continue reading

I have a huge collection of knit socks. Huge. And even though I have a huge collection of knit socks, there was one pair that was my absolute favorite. My Knee High to a Grasshopper socks from the Blue Moon Fibers Rockin Sock club were my favorite. The fabric was... Continue reading

I love Knit Picks!

I love Knit Picks and here is the reason why. The other day I was knitting with my US10 Harmony options when the wooden needle separated from the metal base. As you could imagine, I panicked. I just about started crying, I was upset, my beautiful harmony had broken. I... Continue reading

I have actual finished items to report about, which if you follow me on Ravelry or Google+ you already know about it, but I still felt that I should share my somewhat newly finished item here as well. I actually finished about a week or two ago, but I've been... Continue reading

I have already spun up portions of the white part of the Jacob fleece, and it is amazing to spin. It practically spins itself!

To Re-Dye or Not

Yesterday's yarn soup came out looking like this, and I'm not sure if I should redye to fill in the white spots or leave it as is. It kind of reminds me of acid washed jeans, but is it something that transfers nicely unto yarn or not? The yarn itself... Continue reading

I thought knitting the sleeve on my Bijou top would be no big deal. Remember, I finished the body of the top 2 days ago and thought the little lace cap sleeves would be no big deal. What I didn't realize is that they are knit from the hem to... Continue reading

The"needles" are actually called blocking wires and they are amazing for blocking things like shawls. They can be picked up at knitpicks.com for a pretty decent price. I would definitely recommend them for blocking shawls or any kind of intricate lace.

The boy started his first day fo 8th grade yesterday, and it was pretty uneventful. It also looks like the older the kids get, the less paperwork they send home, which is amazing because the paperwork would take the entire night to go through, sign, sit down with the kid... Continue reading
