I have a giant pickle

Have you seen the free pattern for the pickle ornament? Well, I love the entire kit of ornaments and while I don't actually like pickles....I had to make this one. Meet Fredrick, the Giant Pickle

I happened to have a small amount of Swish on hand so I decided to just make a gia… Continue

I realised this morning that each blog is all about yesterday. I never have time on the day to write, I knit til i'm to tired to do another row.....then I go to sleep. So it's always the next morning that I blog about the day before. Oh well, it's all good I suppose. Yesterday was productive again once my son had his nap. I knit and read Hide by Lisa Gardner and had a lovely break. Manage to completely finish the body of the cardigan and I measured it against my daughter because it looked like… Continue

Baby Blanket and Shawl Patterns?

Does anyone know of a good baby blanket pattern? I'd like something interesting that doesn't get boring after awhile, but I also don't want to have to check a pattern every other row. Same question about a warm shawl pattern, anyone know of a good pattern that's not complicated but not boring? I'm almost finished with the long list of sock projects I'm working on (yay!) and want just the right patterns for these gifts. Continue

Tell me again, how do I stash my Stash?

When I first started reading the knitting blogs, I noticed people had a list of Projects they were working on. Not one or two but a list of them. Now I'm one too. I've come over to the lovely expanse of Project Opportunities. Though I'm still working on my Rib Warmer, that might have been done if I'd just worked on it alone, I'm enchanted by the new yarns. The beautiful colors and fibers, weights and how they come together in a fabric that I create. What could be more delicious than that? Whi… Continue

Handmade socks vs store bought

I rarely wear socks, especially in the summer here in Mississippi, because the heat and humidity sucks and I've liked running around barefoot ever since I can remember (and that's a long time). However, recently-since I started trying my hand at knitting my own socks, I like them better than store bought for one simple reason-that annoying seam where they sew the toe to the instep, it aggravates my toes like nothing I know. Other than that, I have nothing else against store bought, except most… Continue

Confessions of a Laid-up Knitter.

As some of you know, I've been having sore thumbs, and until I see the orthopedist, I'm trying very hard not to knit. This is more than the usual arthritis I've had for years. I've been spending my time reading real books from the library and signing up for two new KALs! (There was no containing me!!!) Last night I was going through my knitting books and marking the ones I would like to make. In Bronwyn Lowenthal's Love to Knit Socks, I only found one pair I would like to make soon that c… Continue

Having Trouble with a Published Pattern?

I just sent out a news report to my knitting group, reminding them to check a publisher's "errata" or "corrections" if they run into problems with a pattern in a book. My SIL called me to her house yesterday, because she was having difficulty with a cardigan she has been making. The shoulders weren't working out right. The back had a much different number of sts than the front. She had taken the shoulders out several times. She kept thinking the problem was hers. I couldn't figure it out, either… Continue

INDEX CARD FILE

Dear Kelley, I went to office depot and got the index card file folder that you mentioned and I also got a box of extra metal rings. I decided to use the folder to store all the patterns in (for storage and travel), but use the extra two rings(you can clip these to the folders rings for travel) so I could remove just the index cards (pattern ) I am working on put the rings on and flip from one row to the next, then end up back to row 1. This is so cool and works so well. It would be cool if Kn… Continue

Christmas in July

Wow, it's been exactly a month since my last staff blog post--oops! Time flies when you're knitting snowmen. Yep, that's what I've been up to this July. We decided that we wanted a "mascot" of sorts to show up in our holiday catalogs and emails, and the next thing I knew I was knitting wee snowmen wit… Continue

Hi all: great to become part of yet another group of knitters on line! I'm Kristina. My current knitting fixation is lace - the finer the yarn, the better.
