Did I mention I’m a joiner? I think I did, well, if not, here is more proof. I am joining a sew along for knitters. I’m not sure if I’m a sewist (looks better than sewer) who knits or a knitter who sews. I started sewing first, so, I guess, that would make me the former. [...]

Rain, rain, go away . . . It has been raining forever and our back yard is flooding. The sump pump has been cycling on and off all day but it still looks like this in the back yard. I’m afraid to look in the crawl space under the house. The 10 day forcast has [...]

I went to Borders yesterday, to sit in the coffee shop and knit. It was nice to sit and knit and sip coffee and not hear “mom, mommy, mama, MOMMY!” every five minutes. I was able to finish one of Daughter’s felted slipper and will be starting Son’s soon. I am making a pair for Daughter and a pair [...]

Over the last week I have actually been doing some knitting and sewing. I know, shocker. It started with the what not to wear post, after that I decided I really needed to get some clothes made for my daughter. The dresses I made for her almost 2 years ago are just not cutting it [...]

loophole?

So, here is my dilemma: I really want to make Grumperina’s new Sarit Hat, for my friend J, for her b’day in Feb. Grumperina is using Rowan Cashsoft DK for the pattern, I have no Rowan Cashsoft DK in my stash and I am participating in the Stashalong. I could use another yarn, I guess, I have some pretty light pink [...]
