On my free day
I spent my Memorial Day enjoying the sun, indulging in some nature photography, and harassing an innocent turtle.
The Magic of Blocking
My Pie Are Shawl is done and ready to be blocked. So its time to soak some knitting in a big tub of water, fend off curious cats, get the blocking wires out, and figure out just what this shawl looks like.
Pie Are Done
Two pounds of handspun alpaca went into this Pie Are Square shawl. No wonder it took me so long!
New Yarn Must Be Shared
New yarn came in the mail. I can’t keep that to myself now can I? If you got new stash I know that you’d share with me, right? Right.
Kitty Fun
Just taking a day to say thanks to Carla and to all the others who have made donations to keep this site up and going. I say thank-you with pictures. Pictures of cute kitties. Doing cute things.
Hookers Talking Hooks
A serious hooker talks about her crochet hooks. What’s in her collection, what she likes, and what she won’t use anymore.
Pie Are Square and I Are Knitting
Progress is being made on my Pie Are Square shawl. I’m knitting fast, reading the pattern book, and loosing agreements with my cat. Typical.
How to Block Lace
Lace deserves good finishing. If you’re making lace by hand, it must be blocked and set to show it off properly. Here is how!
When its just you and the knit
My shawl has reached the stage where I have no progress to show. Progress has been made. But its hidden, scrunched up, and only I can see it. Its that special zone where in I am alone with the knitting.
You don’t get to see the yarn today
Some days I just don’t make much headway on my projects. Some days that is my own fault. Some days its all Feline Overlord’s fault. Today is all on her.
