I just read about this quiz on a friends website and had to take it. According to the quiz I just took on Clara Parkes website, I’m a Shropshire, a “Down and Down” type wool. “Down and Down type wools feel bouncy and crisp, and they are often used as filler in wool yarns because they [...]

Saturday and knitting
Posted in Knitting on June 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Ahh…. Saturdays – a time for peace, quiet and tranquility from the hustle and bustle of the city. I’ve been enjoying my Saturday. Today has been a time to organize, clean, straighten, write and sit down with a cup of coffee to knit. I haven’t really had the desire to go out of the house [...]

My dearest friend just sent me the neatest video and I had to share. What fun and it’s amazing that it actually sounds like Bach! Enjoy and happy knitting.
Cable Eye Glass Case

I just finished a fun little project that is perfect for using left over wool yarn, or any other type of yarn for that matter, and is a cable eye glass case. This pattern is very fast and great for a beginner knitter learning cables. I just posted the pattern on Ravelry and you can [...]

July 15th is just around the corner and I can’t wait to see this movie!
It’s time for a little Harry Potter knitting – think I need to knit a hat, scarf and mittens. Ahhh… but what to wear to the HP movie as it’s the middle of summer and very hot in Phoenix????
Maybe Gilly Weed [...]

Captured on film

I have been fortunate enough to save up enough funds to splurge on a new digital camera. It’s been so exciting to take photos, especially with the zoom capibility of the camera. Friday evening, I captured the photo of our hummingbird that periodically visits our back yard. She is so tiny and it’s so much [...]
Sophie Madeleine – The Knitting Song

This little song on YouTube brought a smile to my face today and was fun to listen too while I was knitting. I’m busy working on a hat for my Mom, who wants to give it as a gift to her best friend Carol back in Arkansas. Knitting is truly good for the soul and [...]
Re-connecting
Posted in Kentucky, Stuff on June 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been enjoying reconnecting with friends, family and co-workers via Facebook. This past month for me has been very enjoyable and makes me yearn to be back in Kentucky. I miss everyone and even though I love being back home in Arizona and near my family, it’s not the same. It’s been loads of fun [...]
Sugar Cane Scarflette Pattern
Posted in Knitted Scarf, Knitting, Scarf on June 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I just completed my scarflette that I knitted using the Araucania Ruca – 100% sugar cane. The scarflette can be wrapped twice around your neck for extra warmth, or wrapped once for a nice drape inside a sweater or jacket. This yarn is very soft, has an incredible sheen, drapes well, and knits like a [...]
