Working on a Project and Writing.

Posted in Knitting, writing on March 31, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Knitting over the years has given me much satisfaction and has unleashed my creativity beyond belief.  My imagination has started to run wild with many patterns that yearn to be written.  So, I’m very excited to report that I’m working on a cable scarf pattern that I am ecstatic about publishing.  I’m using Noro Silk Garden [...]

I just purchased Glenna’s Viper Pilot Socks off Ravelry and I have to truly promote this pattern.  This is the most unique sock pattern I’ve seen in a very long time and I simply can’t wait to give her pattern a try. 

When I see the finished socks (photo to the left ~ from Glenna C [...]

Green, Organic, Natural ~ all three have been the biggest “buzzwords” of the last few years on how we can live healthy and better lifestyles while taking care of our precious earth.  Knitting has now found it’s way into this line of thinking by offering many new fibers to compliment our need not only to [...]

To Stash or Not to Stash, that is the question.

I burst out into laughter last night when my husband told me it looked like I had quite a bit of yarn ~ quite a bit, I think not because there is simply never not enough yarn in ones stash, would you not agree?
Stashing yarn is like nesting to a bird.  The more soft, warm, [...]

Don’t you just love it when you come home to find a package on your front porch and a big smile creeps across your face and your eyes sparkle as you survey what was left for you to take inside.  Of course why wouldn’t you be smiling, you just received another shipment of “yarn”!  My [...]

Knitting Doldrums.

After four days, I’ve finished my “Big Bamboo” scarf and realized I simply do not like it.  Hmmmm…..
Do you ever have knitting “doldrums”?  I think that has been my problem the last few days, which I mainly think is from the fact I’m not doing what I want when it comes to projects.  I have [...]

Something Indulgent…..

Hubby’s working late this evening so I thought I would bake a Pina Colada cake for him this evening, especially since he’s been hinting for one.  I love this recipe – it’s quick, easy and tastes wonderful and I thought I’d share  it with you.  I use home made sweetened whipped cream, but Cool Whip works [...]

In Like a Lion ~ Out Like a Lamb

I can’t believe it’s already March!  It’s a beautiful day today, but it’s rather windy and not pleasant for being outside too much.
My husband informed me that there are only 9 months left until Christmas and I might consider getting my knitted items for gifts going.  Needless to say he got a quite a look [...]
