Monday nights are now the official start of my weekend. That means I’m currently end-of-the-week tired. My knitting sat right next to me. I even held it for a little while; enjoying the feel of the stitches I’ve made, the dips in the needle tips, worn in from use. I’ve stopped being upset with myselfContinue reading “Some Thoughts While Not Knitting”

Another One Done
Another project done. I do enjoy how quickly bulky yarn works up. I do not enjoy how heavy it is and the strain on my wrists just moving stitches around. I’m still trying to work out the knots in my left thumb pad and down my forearm from holding all that weight! But it’s doneContinue reading “Another One Done”
All Done and a few WIPs
I am very excited to say I finished the sweaters! All three of my girls have a similar sweater made to their style and with their favorite colors. Just in time for me to head back to work. Now I’ve started a shawl for a friend. I love the beginning of a shawl. It startsContinue reading “All Done and a few WIPs”
Three Wee Sweaters
This sweater has been a bit of a different experience for me. I like to let my daughters pick the colors for what I make them and did the same with these sweaters. I love the pattern so much, I wanted to make them each one. Now my kids are like most and are eachContinue reading “Three Wee Sweaters”
A Shawl It Is
When I took knitting up again, I was 25, married, pregnant with our first, and stuck at home unable to work. I had been a server and the pain from being on my feet was overwhelming. This meant that my husband, and the only friend or family I had in the area, was at work,Continue reading “A Shawl It Is”
Who Needs Sleep?
It’s about 2:30 in the morning and my oldest just fell asleep. Everyone else in the house is out and I, of course, am still awake. As much as I fantasize about enjoying a quiet cup of coffee early in the morning, sitting outside, soaking in the peace and quiet, it is not in theContinue reading “Who Needs Sleep?”
Sweater Mania
The “Latte Swirl” sweater has been finished and sent and received! I’m super proud of how it turned out and I’m really proud of my ability to adjust the pattern to give my mom a perfect fit. She got it the day after Mother’s Day and sent me a picture right away. The elastic bind-offContinue reading “Sweater Mania”
Oh Well, Time to Knit
I was suppose to accomplish a lot today. I had plans of greatness for today. The dining room was going to be conquered today. But it’s raining and I’m tired. I did about double the amount of cleaning yesterday that I had planned on, so I think I’ll allow myself to take a cue fromContinue reading “Oh Well, Time to Knit”
A Little Too Small
Well, I finished my daughter’s sweater. She was so excited when I woke her up in the morning and she tried it on. She just makes my heart melt. Then we took a look and the sleeves don’t touch her wrists and it’s a bit tight across her chest. She refused to take it off,Continue reading “A Little Too Small”
More Sweaters
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I hate seams. With a passion. I find a beautiful pattern, get excited, then I see those dreaded shapes, and I walk away. I’m so glad I discovered top-down sweaters, otherwise I may have never made one. Now I can’t seem to be stopped. First oneContinue reading “More Sweaters”
