My brother and his wife Morgan got married on July 2nd of this year. They conceived a child approximately 7 to 10 days later, but that is beside the point (of this post)! As a quilter, I see milestones such as weddings (and pregnancy announcements/births) as opportunities… for myself! I can be pretty self-centered [...]

A long, long time ago… I can still remember how that music used to make me smile. Whoops! Off track. Let me start this again. A long, long time ago… I posted out of pure excitement that I was about to begin a sweater project for myself. The pattern was named Paulie <—Ravelry link (need [...] I hereby motion for the the Board (you) to recognize this, the month of November, the year of our Lord Two-Thousand and Eleven as my one year knitting anniversary. When I began to knit, I felt much like the character Happy Gilmore in the movie of the same name when he registers for a golf [...] Last weekend I was looking around on Ravelry and noticed a project that I had added to my queue a few weeks earlier. I suddenly got the burning desire to knit it and to get started right away. Post-haste! But, it was Sunday night and I knew I wouldn’t be making the trip into an [...] I ordered my first skeins of yarn online a week or so ago. They came in the mail Saturday! It was a happy day. As you can see, I ordered from Fabulous Yarn, which came recommended to me from a friend. This will be my first time using this Spud & Chloe [...] Alright, guys, the more cowls I knit, the more difficult of a time I have naming them. Seriously… cowlgirl? And this is only the second one I’ve bothered to name. Here’s the pretty cowlgirl: Pure sweetness and light, this one. My friend Angela here is sporting her new cowl, a belated birthday gift [...] I call this one Cowl City. I did not even know what a cowl was until November 6, 2010. Don’t ask me how I know that. Ok, I’ll tell you: I was at a quilting retreat and two knitters were talking about a cowl and I was like, “What’s a cowl?” I think [...] I came across the Noro Striped Scarf on Ravelry.com – it was one, if not THE, most popular scarves on the site, and I was looking for my first project. The Ravelry page linked to Jared Flood’s Brooklyn Tweed blog, where he details the generic 1×1 rib pattern used to make this scarf. [...] This is normal, right? I’m ready to let you in on a little secret. A glimpse into my weird little world of… weirdness. I love to knit. There – I’ve said it. I want to knit even when I don’t have anything I need to be knitting. I mean, even when I don’t [...] I think it was in the year 2006 when I began this quilt. I decided to take a class on paper-piecing which is a sewing technique that uses printed paper as seam guides; you actually sew fabric together onto paper then later the paper is ripped away leaving just the fabric. It allows for very [...] |
