No Knitting in the Dark
The past two nights have been “Family Movie Night” at my house. My husband brought home a bunch of movies home and I felt obligated to sit with him and watch. Since I was working on my new knitting project, I couldn’t have been happier.
I have heard of stories of people knitting without looking. I [...]
Local Yarn Shop!!
This week I picked up the most wonderful yarn from a new yarn shop close to my work.
They don’t sell online yet, but check out their site www.fourpurls.com. It was heaven walking in there. IT IS A REAL YARN SHOP. OK – I will go more into it on the podcast, but this weekend I [...]
Socks are finished!
OK – the picture may make them look good, but they are not without their flaws. The right one is too big and so when I made the left one, I did the instep shorter; fits perfectly. On the left one, I forgot to do the decreases when I was stitching the instep, so I [...]

Knitting Update

I have never worked [...]
Knitting Update

I have finished about 15 inches of the scarf. It is not going smoothly, I repeat NOT going smoothly. But I am not discouraged, I will prevail.
I found a great app on my iPod call Stitchminder by Quilts2go. It is great at helping [...]
Fiber Friday
Today, I started to teach myself how to knit. I took a trip to Hobby Lobby and JoAnn’s. I picked up the “Taught Myself to Knit” kit – the same kind I got when I taught myself to Crochet. I also picked up a few free sock patterns and 4 skeins of yarn. The yarn [...]
