The Day After a Day to Myself
Its always nice to have a project go from roving to handspun yarn to knitted, to finished.
A Day to Myself
My days off are boring. I knit. I drink coffee. I read. I eat junk food. Tomorrow people will ask what I did and they will be disappointed.
Pffft. People just don’t know what’s good! Good is knitting and reading and coffee and junk food.
Herbert Niebling and I still aren’t on speaking terms
I’ll (still) never knit any Herbert Niebling designs.
Never.
Ever.
And you can’t make me.
Some Relaxation with my In-Progress Summer Tee
Beware the Cotlin. Its too relaxing. Only knit with it when you are wide awake and have five or six cups of coffee racing through your blood stream.

Knitters and crocheters can make all sorts of home accents for themselves. Its very empowering. Once you start, its hard to stop.
Mellow Mitts - a free knit pattern
Here is a free pattern for a casual pair of opera-length fingerless gloves. Knit these babies up with one or two balls of fingering weight yarn and then kick back with a cuppa and enjoy!
You Know When
We shall fight on the beaches… we shall fight in the hills… we shall never surrender.
And when we win, we celebrate with a new cast-on.

Don’t Let Double Points Scare You
Want to try knitting in the round with double pointed needles? Yes, yes you do. Its easy, but if you’ve had trouble its becasue you are totally overthinking it. I’ll show you how to stop that.
Can’t talk. Knitting!
I’m busy with beads as I knit up a little coin purse. It was hard to put it down and write a post about it. Just love knitting with beads.
