My first post at Diva Knitting was May 24, 2005! I’m a little late but to mark my five year blogiversary, I’m doing a giveaway. You’ve seen some of the stuff I’ve gifted in the past so you know it will be something good! I’ll be giving some lucky winner a handmade [...]

Perfection is measured in millimeters

By On June 1, 2010 · Leave a Comment

It can be difficult to maintain a knitting blog when one hasn’t been doing much knitting!  I’ve had a problem with my right shoulder/arm/wrist the last 5 weeks that I’ve been trying to rest, as least somewhat.  Some of you may remember I had surgery on my LEFT shoulder a few years ago so [...]

I hope you’ll forgive my lame post title when you’re dazzled by the beauty of Arizona.  I took a boatload of pictures this time and was lucky enough to get several good ones. Crafty update soon!

Lucky Californians

By On April 22, 2010 · 1 Comment

Every time we’re in Arizona, I’m amazed by the fresh produce.  It is infinitely fresher, tastier and better looking than anything we get in Ohio (at least in the grocery store).  I’m pretty sure it has to do with the proximity to California…less travel time to destination and all.  Just look at [...]

What is yoga?

By On April 19, 2010 · 4 Comments

I was reading a newly discovered blog, Namaste, Bitches (just the title alone was enough to make me HAVE to explore it) and came up with a great question. What is yoga? Or more specifically, what do people who don’t really know much about yoga think it is?  In the post “Takin’ It To [...]

My first quilt

By On April 17, 2010 · 3 Comments

My very first quilt is now at it’s permanent home with a new baby!  My closest friend from high school was blessed with a second child and I really wanted to do something special since this was a particularly difficult pregnancy.  I “cheated” a little…I bought a kit for the Baby [...]

Snakes

It sure took a long time to complete what were supposed to have been Olympic socks!  Even though I hate knitting socks on size 0 needles, I must’ve thought this Crystal Palace Panda Silk required it.  It’s the first time I tried this yarn and it really has a great feel. [...]

A New Adventure

By On April 14, 2010 · 3 Comments

You may have noticed I’ve gradually expanded the blog to include more areas of my life.  Almost five years ago when I started the Diva Knitting blog, I was hesitant to include anything but knitting.  It can be scary (and sometimes imprudent)  to put your life out there for anyone in the world to read.

Something New

By On April 10, 2010 · Leave a Comment

I can’t believe I just finished my first quilt. I have a whole new respect for quilters! It seems like it should be relatively easy to sew a straight line, especially when you have a handy dandy 1/4″ seam foot. Turns out (as so many things are), it’s harder than it looks. I can’t quite [...]

Out with the Old

By On April 6, 2010 · 1 Comment

It seemed like it might be worthwhile to try to repair the old clogs as long as I was felting anyway. I loosely added yarn to the holes and then threw them in with the new clogs. Let’s just say this wasn’t a successful experiment…best to move on to new and prettier [...]
