For Christmas I had made Ra a pair of socks and previous to that A a pair. So it was no surprise that Ri asked if I would make him something. It only took me 2 1/2 days to make my first full size hat. I didn’t use a pattern just basic knit and purl [...]

Some weeks there just isn’t enough time in the day/week to do all that you’d like to do. Unfortunately my weekly trips to the library has been a give. Earlier this week I was feeling the creative itch so I requested a few crafting books 3 of which came in yesterday along with a cookbook [...]

So yesterday was Work in Progress Wednesday and I missed it again! I had fully intended on posting last night but I got watching Nanny McPhee with my daughter and couldn’t bring myself to do anything else but watch. Of course the voice of a 10 yr old saying I wish you wouldn’t knit while [...]

I don’t actually have a photo of my WIP today. But I’m still working on the same sock. Last night I got to the heal flap and am a third the way done. I’m hoping to finish that tonight and perhaps a bit further. I’ve decided I’m still going to give it my best effort [...]

I promised myself I wouldn’t write every night this week so I could get some knitting done (see the photo at the bottom of this pos) and even though I haven’t been writing for the blog I have been writing other things this week. So tonight I thought I’d write about a bunch of random [...]

I realized as I was looking back at my knitting posts that I haven’t been very good at posting or even making photos of my FO’s (finished objects). So as a bit of a catch up on the last FO”s I have done – here are my latest 2 pairs of socks and my very [...]

In June our family went sailing aboard the Schooner J&E Riggin on a trip that also happened to be the first of their Maine knitting cruises – lucky me! We were gifted with great weather, wonderful shipmates and delicious food – no surprise there as I already knew Chef Annie Mahle does amazing things on her tiny [...]
Knitting Obsession

Today I was talking with a friend who is involved in a knitting fundraiser and they were looking for a film that’s about knitting. I couldn’t think of any films that were entirely about knitting only movies that had a scene where someone was knitting like in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the Harry Potter films. [...]

The other night we said good bye to 2010 and hello to 2011. I’m not sure why we celebrate New Year’s Eve really…imagine if we celebrated the end of every month like we do the year?!?!? Craziness! Personally, I think we should celebrate the end of each day. Each and every one is new and [...]
