I couldn’t be more pleased with the fit of the sweater I finished for hubby. And to prove it here’s a couple of pictures. After 15 months of knitting it’s a relief to have it all come together so nicely. And such a handsome guy to knit for! This pattern wasn’t especially difficult to knit, [...]

Thank you to all for your comments about my brother. There are no guarantees in this life and I only wished he had lived his life differently. Enough said on that. Here we are on New Year’s Eve. It was the perfect evening for us, we were home by 10:30. In my long absense from [...]

Me and two of my friends have formed the Red Flats Knitter’s Guild. We’ve had two meetings are currently engaged in a learning project making afghans. The purpose is to utilize stitch patterns that allow each of us to explore new techniques without entering into a large project for each technique. We’re using Barbara Walker’s [...]

The green socks are done! They only got worked on while riding to and from work or at work during lunch. Since hubby went north I haven’t had much sock knitting time forcing me to knit them during my “other” knitting time. “Other” meaning knitting on my or my husband’s sweaters which are suffering themselves from [...]
