It’s not too late!!!

By On December 22, 2005 · 4 Comments

This recipe has long been one of my favorites for the holidays. It is so quick and easy and extremely tasty. The only problem was it used a cup of this and that…ingredients that you wouldn’t use for anything else the rest of the year. I’ve made several modifications over the years so I can [...]

when is a swatch not a swatch?

By On December 21, 2005 · Leave a Comment

When it’s really small? When it’s so small you can barely even measure the row gauge because it isn’t even a full inch? Really, why did I even bother? In my defense, the swatch is for a hat. I don’t feel like a “proper” swatch is in order when there is ribbing involved. Hats [...]

Self Portrait Tuesday

I haven’t done SPT for a while but after reading this month’s challenge, “reflective surfaces”, I figured I’d jump in again. This one was pretty easy (I suspect this is why I decided to participate this month).

In addition to my “regular” knitting this weekend (more FT clogs and a hat), I tried something a little adventurous. I ordered some needles a while ago that were on backorder from Knit Picks. Friday, they arrived…0000 double pointed needles. WHY? Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I first [...]

Gnomes and such!

By On December 15, 2005 · 4 Comments

Well, I learned something new while visiting Crazy Aunt Purl. If you ever have trouble coming up with a title for your blog entry, just put gnome somewhere in it. Apparently, that takes care of everything…and of course, since I love CAP, I sometimes have to copy her. You know, just for the sake [...]

I’m clogged

By On December 13, 2005 · 6 Comments

All the sudden, it seems I have clogs coming out of my ears! I hadn’t really intended on doing these this year for presents but once my little sister saw them…well I will basically do anything for her (and of course, I must have them done for Christmas…especially since the felted bag intended for [...]
