Last week I left a comment on a blog as part of a yarn and pattern giveaway. And, guess what?!? I won! I just got my Barking Dog yarn today, and it’s a really cool spring-like green that I love! So, now l have a new yarn to use for next week’s yarn along with Ginny. … Continue reading
This week as my contribution to Ginny’s yarn along, I am showing off my cute little felted hearts I made. I’m excited about these since my last few weeks of knitting haven’t turned out final products with which I’ve been very happy. These hearts, though, are adorable and were really fun to make. The pattern … Continue reading
Here we are again, the weekly yarn along with Small Things. I’ve finally gotten finished with my Honey cowl (pattern available here). I’ve been knitting like a crazy lady, determined that I would not have yet another week devoid of a finished project to show on the yarn along. Actually, as of this writing, I … Continue reading
I’m finding that being a part of Ginny’s Wednesday yarn alongs has made me far more productive in my knitting. I like the accountability that comes with sharing pictures of my knitting progress. I’m currently procrastinating doing what I know I need to on my fingerless gloves (ripping back), so have been getting lots done … Continue reading
Last week I told you all that I had botched up my fingerless gloves and I wanted help from knitting genies and geniuses. Well, you were wonderful.

This is my update on the yarn along. It’s also a chance to tell you I’m making a new “super easy, use up some yarn you probably already have” pattern. Any guesses which is the washcloth and which is the failure? Right. I was all happy and possibly a bit cocky last week about how … Continue reading
I made it eight days into 2012 before I fell off the wagon. No, not the liquor wagon or the food wagon (food cart?)… Actually, I don’t know the origin of that phrase “off the wagon,” so if I’m mixing metaphors as I go on, sorry about that. I generally have a pretty good grasp … Continue reading
Since posting about the Small Things’ yarn along last on December 28th, I’ve gotten one fingerless mitten knitted, but not seamed up and I’m about an inch into the knitting of the second mitten. I’m continuing to LOVE the Malabrigo Rios Yarns. I’ve always been a fan of red, but the Ravelry Red color is wonderful, … Continue reading
The first thing I need to tell you is that I knit this hat in less than two hours, including seaming it up… REALLY! I’m not a super duper speed knitter contestant. I just had some great big yarn and some motivation. Our heat and hot water went kaput for a chunk of the week … Continue reading
Let me just start by saying, “I love this bag.” It’s wonderful. The color is beautiful. The size is perfect. The pockets and compartments are ideal. The quality is spectacular. “I love this bag.” If you also love this bag or know someone else who would, then keep on reading, because this is the list … Continue reading
