Thanks to some re-inspiring from John (HAI JOHN!), I decided to try out the pattern I bought over a month ago (link above). Thanks to the always supportive and encouraging knitter girls, I now love it even with the terribad mistakes that I am always prompt to point out to everyone. So yeah, thanks lovely knitter friends! :) Oh yeah, here: One of my favorite things about it, the lining: Side

I'm making a Haruni for no particularly good reason with no intended recipient, but the coolest thing ever is that I made it ONE HUNDRED ROWS without frogging!!!!!! 100 rows!!!!!!!!!!! and then Chart B happened. But it's all good because I realized I really enjoy smashing my knitting on a scanner bed:

And I really don't know why. I've long lusted over the Signature Needle Arts Needles but why I suddenly ordered them, I couldn't tell you. I was talking to a dear friend about Lizard Ridge from Knitty and it seemed like a good rationalization. I have to make 24 squares! I'll get my money's worth (never mind the fact I have at least 5 sets of size 8s in varying materials)! Anyway, here they

Some time ago, I'd speculate 2 or 3 years, I dragged BFF to Uncommon Threads in Palm Harbor. I had *just* started working on socks, and BFF fell in love with a hank of Schaefer Anne, as did I, and so 2 hanks were purchased. This photo was taken around that time, (uploaded 06/2007 so maybe that gives me a better idea of purchase date.) The hank on top was for me, and bottom for BFF, just to

I'm such a huge fan of Anne Hanson of KnitSpot and I love how she offers so many unisex designs. There is a particular one, Stonewall that I have been coveting for a very, very, very long time. A yarn came into the LYS and I grabbed a ball to swatch it out and here's the result of that:  Keep in mind, that's KBLicious blocked, otherwise known as badly blocked, but you get the idea. I have

I can't fucking block. Period. Most recently, I finished a Hemlock Ring Blanket and after attempting to block it for HOURS and getting absolutely nowhere, I sort of threw it at Beff and told her she could keep it as her prize for blocking it. I *LOVED* that blanket, I *LOVED* the yarn, I *LOVED* the pattern, but blocking is just THAT MUCH of a nightmare to me, I was willing to just discard it to

ottergeek from ravelry reminded me of a link i'd posted a while back about autism and raising money.

ok, it's like 6:15 a.m. and i haven't been to bed yet, but every day i've been promising myself i would post something and i don't want to get kicked out of any of my rings or anything either, if i haven't been already.... however, i am going to attempt brevity. let's see. here's my still not done sockapalooza sock: i think this is technically like my 5th sockapalooza sock, all prior attempts

hi! i must be somewhat brief as i need to go hunting (for pet food, that is,) but some things i wanted to post quick.first of all, are you sitting? I have officially finished my very first ON TIME knit gift!!!!!! behold the FO:her birthday was on Friday the 6th and while I actually saw her on Friday unexpectedly (wasn't supposed to) it wasn't done then, but it WAS done by Saturday afternoon when

you know, not so long ago, i like LIVED to knit (and blog too).... i still may not of gotten lots of stuff done, but i was knitting CONSTANTLY, attempted to knit while working (usually something boring in the round, but still) couldn't wait to get off work to knit more, etc. etc.... i had lost the mojo due to illness when I literally couldn't sit to knit for a while, but I don't so much have that

A blog has been set up for those interested to commune in support of Annie Modesitt during this difficult time for her and her family. (can I just say here I hate finding suitable adjectives for situations like this? It's impossible. "difficult," "trying," "horrendous," "heartbreaking"..... I don't want to minimize or maximize plus only Annie and her family can truly describe in this case....

Cindy posted this info on our B&N forum and I wanted to take the opportunity to repost. Many of you are familiar with the knitwear designer/teacher/author extraordinaire, Annie Modesitt. I was fortunate enough to meet her at a convention locally not long ago. She moved to Minnesota recently with plans to devote her time to her knitting career while her husband played "Mr. Mom", but sadly, he has

hi all. dear Marce has been posting some wonderful poll topics, such as this one and while mine is not craft related, I have a question I would like to pose to my beloved readers. I mentioned a bit ago I was starting Remicade infusions for my Crohn's. I had my second infusion on Friday. During the infusions, you must be monitored closely and often during the several-hour affair for untoward

with help from this freakin awesome tutorial as well as some aid and inspiration from dear Marce I started this!there's a couple funky spots that i am not too terribly concerned about since it's my first go, and nothing horrid, so i'm running with it. i wanted something fast and not too many stitches and in the round for my first attempt (and not a sock as I said to Marce) so here's my sock. ;)

hello everyone! miss you all so! Christine got her mojo back and I kinda did too sorta, but I don't have pictures really. Nothing recent anyway, but what I have will just have to suffice for now.Nothing doing really.

i gauge swatched last night for the Dana Bag, but not in one of my free colors, sorry folks. I don't have a swift/winder and have't had the time/inclination to start winding. I had bought 1 hank of the Ultra Alpaca from the LYS to swatch it for the Kenobi Jacket and check things out before I ordered 20 hanks of Pea Soup in it, but never got around to doing it until I got the bag pattern really.

t's true! I had intended to post a new question for the contest, since I had not a single guess on either quote, but someone did it! Congrats go to Darlene, who correctly guessed the first quote, which was borrowed from Upside Down by Tori Amos, which is my new now playing for your listening pleasure and has always been a particularly meaningful track for me. Hope you all enjoy its visit to

I saw this over at Pam's and it sounds like fun! I don't quite get it yet either, but it will be fun to check out some new blogs and there's swag! C'mon, it'll be real easy! C'mon!ETA: For this of you who were frogging stitches in a dreadful shawl like me instead of attending Linky 101, Mr. Linky will not make his appearance until 03/02 on the Blog Party site.

so with my KP Flower Power find, I have started like 4 toe-up socks and ripped them all out. Actually after the 2nd, I stopped ripping out and just started cutting the yarn, decided I was causing some bad luck thing to happen which is why I was unhappy with my socks. I figured out the toe-up thing all in all, but I don't think I like the way the short-row thing comes out on the sides. Pauline

just a quick note, i changed ISPs and thus lost my 60 GB of storage space with the former ISP and the new ISP doesn't let you buy extra storage. ROT! I have already begun the transition, but you might notice some buttons, pictures, etc. not working until I get everything all updated, just FYI. Thank you for your patience. :)

Many of you have probably seen this posting at KH or Crazy Aunt Purl's but for those of you who didn't, here's something for you to read. I realize we have our very own fantastic local fiber stores to support and funds are tight for lots of us (self-imposed yarn diet here) so please forgive me, but I read the touching and sad story about a little baby named Evan who has a rare brain tumor.

so hi! It's 7:53 a.m. and I can't sleep. I haven't been to bed yet. I overslept yesterday until almost 4 in the afternoon. It's one of those vicious cycle things. I was lying in bed with my mind racing, don't really feel like knitting, definitely dont' feel like working, crap on TV, so I decided to partake of one of my most favorite guilty pleasures that I am rarely awake early enough to

So I finally got my winter exchange present out and she has posted pics on her blog. Between being sick and everything else going on, I just have been slacking and haven't photographed much of anything. Since I REALLY want to post about this, I am borrowing these pictures from her blog, you can read it here @ Kristina's She just returned from a trip to New York and has been doing all kinds of

I saw this over at Charles' blog and I found it hysterical. Some might be offended by it, so please don't watch if you might be. There are some.... gory? images of handknits here, dead people and animals, shark attacks involving people, stuff like that, but I have a sick sense of humour and hey, it's knits!

Regarding that quiz.... that whole spouse thing, I think I'm full of crap. In reality, I'm a shamefully hopeless romantic and maybe being alone the rest of my life isn't truly what I want, although I do really like it.... Maybe not forever, though.... So maybe (maybe? yeah.) I am hypercynical and maybe even some bitter... I just had to get that out. I love love. Maybe even kids someday, who

I mentioned the Catalina Baby Alpaca yarn I won from Diva Knitting and I loved it so much that the skein I had tangled and knotted in my excitement to play with it called to me day and night. Once I got it untangled, which was quicker than I thought since I'm a moron with knots and string, (making them and removing them,) I knew instantly it had to be a hat. I looked through my patterns, books,
