Summer Knitting

Again, it has been forever since I’ve posted. Lot’s of knitting is getting done. But I haven’t had time to take pictures of it. I’ve got a couple sweaters going, a dress for Amelia and a sweater coat for her as well. The hot weather has limited me to one cotton sweater and Amelia’s dress, [...]

Time Flies!

Oops! How can it be so long since I’ve posted? Since the weather has cooled off, I’ve been back knitting as fast as I can. But, since it is mostly Christmas knitting, I don’t have much that I can show you right now. My project load keeps creeping up, but I am actually finishing things as [...]

Totallly Distracted, But Still Tour De Francing

So my original plan of finishing my Stolen Moments Shawl is um…going slowly. If you’d like to see what it looks like, just scroll down and imagine it a little longer. The huge news is that I’m back “on” knitting. But since shawls are seeming oppressive right now, I’ve cast on a couple new projects [...]

Tour de France Knitting

So before my pregnancy induced lack of knitting mojo hit full force, I signed up to participate in the Tour de France Knit Along. Sadly, despite this being Day 11 of the Tour, this is the first time I’m posting about it. Sorry, folks.
I admit that the major part of this is that my fatigue [...]

A Shawl Jag

As things slowly warm up around here, I’ve transitioned from working on cozy sweaters to lovely lace shawls. Some I’ve been working on for a while; others have been inspired by some gorgeous yarn I picked up on my recent tour de Connecticut yarn shops when mom was in town.
 
This gorgeous Schaefer Laurel in the [...]

Happy 2008!

Well, the holidays are behind us, and I’ve come out with my wits and most of my wool intact. I must admit that the long lapse in posts has not been due to lack of ideas or knitting accomplishments, but to my reluctance to take the time to upload pictures. (Yes, that means my camera [...]

The Show Your Colors Shawl Finally Gets Blocked

Oh, I really wish my camera was in working order today. (Camera report: should be good to go by this weekend.)
When I woke up this morning I thought I’d get my day off by changing the sheets in the guest bedroom. To get double use out of the mostly fresh, white sheets, I thought I’d [...]

Dare I Say It?

Christmas knitting has begun. Gasp. I know. Halloween is barely over, yet I am well on my way to finishing my Christmas knitting. Well, most of it.
Since my last post the sweaters have languished in favor of Christmas presents for family and friends. As such, I have finished objects proudly displayed in my yarn room. [...]

Confessions

So, I have a confession to make. I did something silly (no, I’m not telling you what) and as a result, I have no way of getting pictures of my current knitting projects online. So the long break in posts has been me hoping beyond hope that things would fix themselves and I’d be able [...]

The long awaited Summer in Kansas Shawl

Anyone who has moved recently will understand the long spans between posts. We are finally in our new home and, dare I say it, mostly settled. During the settling process my knitting production (let alone any time for blogging) was drastically decreased, and I am just now getting back on the horse.
The up side is [...]
