I just sewed on the buttons to totally complete my gift to my friend Claudine for her soon to be daughter, Lydia.  This was a very fast and fun project that knits up quickly.  I would highly recommend for a beginner knitter.
I was so happy that I had enough yarn left over to knit the matching hat.  This [...]

It’s been a bit since I’ve last posted anything, but I’ve literally been exhausted from work and haven’t felt much like getting on the computer.  At times I wish that the modern world was not so technologically advanced.  That computers were just a dream and not a reality, but then of course if that were [...]

Well my room is organized and all my lovely yarn stashed away in baskets.  I stood back to take a look at my “stash” and was a little saddened that I had given up all my wonderful wool when we left Kentucky to move back here to Arizona.  The textures, the colors and all the [...]

I was checking out the latest new edition of http://www.knitty.com/  and found the most beautiful scarf pattern created by Amanda Williams.  It’s very Aran, but yet I agree with her, very Victorian.  What a wonderful idea to be able to use this as a scarf, wrap or shrug – what a versitile garment for this fall.  This [...]
