OK, so forever since I posted! New news is that I am starting 2 circles this Fall. One for the knitting challenged and one for Bundles of Love charity organization. I anticipate lots of fun!! I am working out a starter agenda and I think I will be asking what all the knitter want to learn then teach them! I have high hopes for my future knitter and can't wait to get started!

Believe it or not our little Nicholas is 8 months old! Where did all the time go? I am having a great time… Continue

I love my KP yarns, do you think they would open a store front?

Posted on May 9, 2010 at 8:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

I have toyed with the idea of opening my own store for quite some time. This year I got a little more serious. I have done tons of research and come to the conclusion that there really isn't a lot I could do to make my store unique...I got to thinking about KP yarns and I know a lot of people in my knitting circles that order from KP regularly. What if KP had a store, with strictly KP yarns, and classes... I would love to teach knew knitters and what a dream job to be surrounded by KP yarns… Continue

Baby Keeps Knitter From UFO's

I haven't posted in an eternity! Being pregnant then having a baby has kept me from remembering to take pictures of my few projects that I have finished over the last few months! I did remember to take a picture of the cool felted oven mitts I made. I couldn't resist adding a picture of our new miracle born 12/18! He is the best Christmas gift!…

You were just being nice when you said my square was cute (smile).

At 6:17am on March 21, 2009, banklady6 said…: thanks Sybil--I was thinking about it more last night, and realized the same thing...scary huh? I just made anafghan that was a similar idea..you could just crochet the squares "for fun" so to speak, or make a wholes sampler afghan. A friend gave me a large box of yaarn, and as she had started it, I finished it..loads of fun.....I think I'll do that ! Thanks...

At 3:15pm on March 20, 2009, banklady6 said…: hey Sybil..
just a question about your leftover sock yarn quilt...did you just do basic squares? Do you hav a picture of it? That could be fun..

I still have to do the very last thing on my sampler, the Afterthought Pocket... cut into the knit fabric... YIKES! LOL! I've scrapped the idea of making my first sweater for my DG... the author encouraged that I not do that. She said it would really be best if I made my first sweater to fit myself and to look at it as an extension of the Sampler... purely a learning experience. Use cheap yarn that I don't care about and don't worry about the finished product... focus on experiencing the process more than about making it "right." I like that cuz I learned SO much from the Sampler, and I understand her thinking.

I've got some yarn I'd bought to make an afghan and have more than enough to make a sweater, from what the book says. But, I'm starting on a Norberta Dragon for DG first, then the sweater...

At 6:49pm on January 30, 2009, Elianastar said…: Thanks for the hat response... I had come to the conclusion that I must have missed the memo about using a negative ease for them, cuz I swatched, measured, calculated... had my husband check my math :-) ... and it still came out big. I made one for myself [crochet] in an extra chunky yarn from Rowan and it came out great. I made another [knit] for my daughter in a bulky yarn and it came out loose... not too loose to wear, but looser than she'd prefer. So, I still have plenty of the yarn to make another smaller one... I used Magic Loop, so I was gonna lose a repeat on each side, and I think that will be sufficient... I made another, a completely different design for my MIL and it was HUGE! That one will be just a little more complicated to reduce down, because of the pattern I put into it, but, it was so large I have a good idea how to do it and not screw up the pattern...
