Lifelines – What to do when the project is over
A few months ago, I posted about knitting lifelines. I hope I was able to give you a good understanding of what they are for, and how to use them when knitting your lace project. But I kind left it hanging with the last post, and didn’t explain what to do with them once your project is […]
Workbasket Wednesday – Happy First Day of Summer!
It is here at last! Summer! Although we have been experiencing summer weather for about a month now, summer finally made its appearance on the calendar. I found this oldie on YouTube and had to share! I love Nat King Cole The Lazy Crazy Days of Summer – Nat King Cole I’m taking these few […]
Finished at last!
The past few months I have been too busy with other areas to do anything knitting wise. Gardening season is in fullswing and every spare minute has been devoted to getting the garden ready and tending it. But now the garden is in daily maintenence mode for a few weeks so that has freed up […]
Knitting Around Tulsa
Saturdays are always non stop for me, and today (really yesterday because Saturday ended 10 minutes ago) was no exception. I don’t know how I manage to do it, but I somehow end up with Saturdays full from sunup to sundown. I think a large part of it is the fact that we […]
A Master Knitter at your Fingertips – Arenda Holladay
One thing I am grateful for about the knitting and crocheting community is how helpful and generous most knitters are. There are tons of websites (there are a lot, and if the information on these blogs could be weighed I am sure it would be TONS!) that have been devoted to sharing tips and […]
Workbasket Wednesday – The StitchTastic Mug Cardigan
The StitchTastic Mug Cardigan Free Pattern! This week’s Workbasket Wednesday comes with a freebie just for you! This week I worked on creating a pattern to go along with my Knitting 101 class. I wanted a pattern where my students could practice all the skills they learned in class, but was a little more creative than […]

This is part two of my Knitting 101 video series. In part 1 I covered creating a slip knot, and the Knitting-On Cast On. If you are not familiar with either of these I encourage you to go back to Part 1 and watch the videos offered there. These videos were created for the […]
A Knitter I Wish I Knew – Maggie Righetti
This is a rewrite of the post that was scheduled for early this morning. I don’t know what happened to the draft of the original. Being that I am still figuring out WordPress I must have accidentally moved it to trash instead of published it. I apologize the re-write is so tardy, it has been […]
What to Knit – “Bloom”
I think it is safe to say that Spring has come early and is here to stay. The temps were mild last night, and we left all the windows open in our home. It was so nice having fresh air all night and hearing the birds this morning was heavenly.. But there is still some […]
Lifelines – Part Deux (or Now That We Have Them What Are They For?)
In last weeks post about Lifelines, I showed you how to add a Lifeline to your knitting project as an ounce of prevention. If you are not familiar with what a Lifeline is, or how to add one, I suggest you go back to the first post and read up. When knitting any project, it is prudent […]
