Picture this: I’m sitting on the couch happily knitting the baby blanket. My 3 1/2 year old niece is sitting on the other end of the couch watching (Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?) Spongebob Squarepants. I turn my head to see what she is doing and see my ball [...]

Nervous Knitting
Posted in Knitting, baby blanket, yarn on April 26, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I’m so stressed out I’m knitting on top of mistakes. I have 4 safety pins in the baby blanket and I don’t care because it’s the only thing keeping me sane right now. What I could really use is a yarn shopping spree. That would make me feel better, I just know it. Something along [...]

The luxurious Sublime scarf is nearly finished:
And the Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino Feather and Fan baby blanket
is coming along well:
About half way up the blanket you can see I start making fewer mistakes…
but that’s what learning is about, right? It’s my first pattern and I love the
old-fashioned look of it. At first I [...]

I’m looking for a potholder pattern I saw in a book or magazine. Which book? Which magazine, you ask? I don’t know! I can’t remember! And it’s driving me crazy. I wanted to knit them up for Father’s Day because they were man-appropriate potholders, know what I mean? [...]

I’m in love with this sweater from Kim Hargreaves:
And it comes in a kit! Plus, the dog is so cute.

Well do ya, punk?

OK I got the Sublime scarf back on the needles, finally:
and feel much more confident in fixing my mistakes, but only in Seed stitch.
You may have noticed I changed the theme of my blog. I just couldn’t get my pics to look right on the other one. Now I feel like I can s t [...]
To rip or not to rip – that is the question
Posted in Knitting, Sublime, Sublime scarf, WIP, knitting blog, learning to knit, yarn on March 27, 2007 | 2 Comments »
So I was zipping along on my fabulous Sublime scarf when it finally came time to start a new ball of yarn. Simple, yes? NO! I’m new to this, you see…and suddenly I found I didn’t have any coordination in my hands. Is there a trick to starting a new ball [...]
Hello knitters!
