You're So Silly*

So I nearly completed the first sleeve of the Lily Cardigan over the weekend and I thought I'd share a photo since this may be the only evidence of it in the near future. It's tight, not cut off your circulation tight but tight just the same.

I've Still Got Secrets

Thank you so much for the compliments on the Must Have Cardigan. You are all too kind. Now that I have given away what I look like, I must confess to another secret: I have been knitting behind your back the blog. I have been knitting the Lily Cardig

The Things You Learn

Learning is a lifelong process and I embrace that with all of my being but sometimes I'm not too happy with the things I've learned. The Must Have Cardigan is done. The first thing I learned is follow your gut instincts. I've been kn

I don't know how the 365 people do it. They blog day after day after day and are interesting. I do good if I can pump out 2 or 3 slightly interesting posts in a week and maybe one really good one a month. I think that one may be coming in a few d

The sleeves are done for the Must Have Cardigan. Blocking soon. Really soon. I needed something else to knit so I pulled out the Oc-Toe-ber sock. It's going along quickly now that I have passed the heel. There is something about the Tofutsies yar

Knit, Knit, Knit

Progress on the sleeves continues. I'm trying not to think of these as sleeves number 2 and 3. But I am knitting the final sleeve much faster than the first 2. I have nearly memorized the pattern which amazes me since I had so much trouble with t

Right Place, Right Time

I know this photo is the absolute pits but today is dark and rainy and my camera is lousy. Anyway, Tuesday I was online reading blogs as I like to do. I happened to catch a post that Dani at Sunshine Yarns had put some new yarn up in her shop. I
