Yarn Feedback

Margot I have used Comfy Bulky for several projects in the last year: a shawl for me, a poncho for a friend, baby items for my new grandson, and a big baby blanket, too. It is super soft - no scratch…

Favorite KP yarn?

Lori, I can't speak for everyone, but if I were given the opportunity to bid on a gift basket full of Knit Picks yarn, I would have trouble keeping my bid low enough to fit my budget. --S

Is Cast-on-itis a Disease? If so, I have a bad case!

The last week has been very busy, what with welcoming my new grandson, Sam, into the world, and I had two days were I accomplished very little knitting. Finally on Thursday and Friday I got to knit a lot. My DH asked if I had gone through fiber withdrawal... I think that is exactly what happened to me.



I finished all the knitting on the Karin Tote, blocked it on Friday, and mattress stitched it together on Saturday. Then I whip stitched the strap, and inserted the inte

About Me:
I have now been knitting for four years. I may not exactly be obsessed with knitting, but I spend way too much of my time thinking about knitting or actually knitting. And this year, I have also taken up spinning... which I love nearly as much.

I love knitting, and love offering encouragement to others who think their skills are limited, or are afraid to go to the next thing. Never be afraid to try something new. YOU CAN DO IT! I promise.

Happy Knitting to everyone!

That is very true Irene... Aren't the KP needles wonderful to work with! And Sam is so wonderful... yes he is! I got to hold him for the better part of 2 hours yesterday... of course he was sleeping, and so very tiny right now, but a beautiful baby! I just talked to my son, and they will probably go home tomorrow... he said there was nothing really keeping them in the hospital, but he thought his wife needed one more day of rest before heading home to be on their own. --S

On the Harmony needles, you said you had even bought the Cadilliac of needles, boy when I started knitted they were not on the market yet, that dates me, so glad we have such a lovely choice of needles, as I write this Sam is here, beautiful baby, worth the worth , and what a joy to knit for him, Hugs,Irene

Irene,
My DDIL and I were looking through books to see what she wanted me to knit... she saw a pattern similar to the duck slippers, and thought it was so very cute. I had done all of my serious baby knitting, and wanted some novelty items to go along with the blanket. I like to try new things, to keep this from getting boring! We're hoping Sam shows up by the first - I know his mama does! Hugs ♥S

Susan I start when I was 7 years old but never really did much and gave it up for years. Just hoping this time I will get more out of it. But even though I learn to knit early my dear Mom forgot to teach me how to read a pattern thats my big problem. I was looking at all your work it really nice.
