Knitting Update

Posted by Brye Lynn on Sep 11, 2009 in Knitting

I should have had the scarf finished by tonight, but that is not the case.  I did get slightly bored this week and I cast on some socks.  I found a simple enough pattern on Ravelry that will give me a good start and hopefully teach me the basics of knitting socks.

Posted by Brye Lynn on Sep 3, 2009 in Uncategorized

This just hit me today.
When I first learned to embroider, I was taught to always use a hoop.  It holds the fabric taunt and makes the stitches neater and tighter.  I have been adding embroidery accents to my applique blocks.  I just realize that I never hoop them.  I just hold them in my hand [...]

Drink Water

Posted by Brye Lynn on Sep 1, 2009 in Uncategorized

Drinking enough water is essential to be healthy.  I have never been too good at making sure I am getting enough.  Lately, my skin has not been looking too good and I realized that I was barely drinking two glasses of water a day, let alone the recommended 8. 
This weekend I picked up two 33 [...]
