You might remember that a couple of months ago, a friend at church gave me this pile of yarn…with the Mexican Rainbow Shawl from the Prayer Shawl Companion book in mind. We’re both making shawls for our church ministry and had fallen in love with this pattern. She surprised me by buying the yarn for [...]

I Ran Out of Yarn!
Posted in Knitting, tagged Knitting, ravelry on April 14, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Ok…well, not completely, as I still have my stash. The world has not come to an end…yet.
BUT, I did run out of yarn for my current project! And I only have one small part and three rounds of another part to go before I start seaming!!
Ugh.
I am not a happy camper. This yarn is not [...]
Another Pair of Socks in the Works
Posted in Knitting, tagged Knitting, maui yarns, merino wool, ravelry, socks on March 18, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’m having the hardest time today, and I’m not sure if it’s due to my not feeling well or to this beautiful yarn:
It’s 100% Superwash Merino Wool. One of the gals who knits for the West Coast Oddball group sent it to me a few months ago…as a gift. You can find it for sale [...]
Inspiration to Be a Better Knitter
Posted in Knitting, tagged chat, Knitting, ravelry, skype on February 21, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I am such a home body. Especially on the weekends when the 5:30 alarm doesn’t have to be set. It’s not uncommon to find me sitting around in my robe for most of the day…especially now that Soccer Chick can drive and willingly grocery shops for me.
Yes, I do have quite the life.
As an almost [...]
Evolution of a Knitter

Another finished project!! I’m so excited! I really needed something to cheer me up after a rough couple of days, eh?
Do you remember this yarn…
It was soft enough to coax me away from the socks I have on my needles.
I have to tell you that I think I see signs that I am evolving as [...]
A Pile of Finished Blankets

As many of you know, I head up the West Coast Oddball Baby Blanket project. We’ve got a group of gals here on Ravelry and one here Knittinghelp.com (where the project originated) involved. I’ve mentioned this project before but thought it would be fun to share some pictures of finished blankets. The gals have been [...]
AuburnChick Scares the Mailman

As you know, I have been participating in a Cold Weather Hot Drink Swap, hosted by a Betzi, over on Ravelry. My partner, Figaro, and I have been teasing each other with hints about the gifts we would be exchanging.
The other day, Fig informed me that she had mailed a package to me. I waited [...]

Boy, is this project addicting! The mini-stockings project that I started working on yesterday has quickly taken over my knitting life. Thankfully I’m subbing every day this week, so I’ll use my free time (i.e. Planning) to work on them.
Y’all saw the first one I made in yesterday’s post. Here are three more that I’ve [...]

BRIEF INTERRUPTION…
Littlest Chick will henceforth be referred to as Rockin Rooster. Thanks, Megan, from the Stitch-It Ravelry forum, for this suggestion! We mulled over each idea very carefully and decided that this name fit the bill nicely, being something he will not outgrow as he ages.
AND NOW, BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM…

Goodies for Ms. Jean
Posted in Knitting, tagged blanket, Charity, hats, Knitting, knittinghelp.com, ravelry, washcloths on July 10, 2008 | 7 Comments »
Over the last few weeks, I’ve mentioned a project I’m involved with. A group of knitters on KnittingHelp (and a couple from Ravelry) banded together to produce home-crafted items for a fellow KH’er. Mason’s (Knitting_Guy) mom, Ms. Jean, underwent surgery to remove her larynx and is supposed to be undergoing a second round [...]
