Or.... alternatively titled..... The day I dig WIPs out of hibernation. This year I am determined to clean out or use up a large majority of my yarn stash.

A simple new beginning.
Dear Knitting friends. It has been a while since I have gotten to chat with you. I have taken this past year and a half off from blogging, because, well, it was just too much. I started my little blog with the intent of helping others learn to knit, and to share all … Continue reading A simple new beginning.
Workbasket Wednesday – Valois Shawl – And the end of July is here!
My typing fingers have been silent a lot lately. But not because they want to be! July has been an extremely busy month for all of us. I ended a temporary job, started a new part time job, secured an arrangement to teach knitting classes (more of that soon), and the girls and I … Continue reading Workbasket Wednesday – Valois Shawl – And the end of July is here!
On my needles now – Valois Shawl by Alexandra Beck
The weather here in Ok is sweltering (it is summer, I am sure it is sweltering everywhere). I just finished knitting two baby afghans for belated baby gifts, and the last thing I wanted to knit right now is another heavy project.

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 … Continue reading Finished at last!
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 … Continue reading Knitting Around Tulsa
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 … Continue reading A Master Knitter at your Fingertips – Arenda Holladay
