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 … Continue reading A Knitter I Wish I Knew – Maggie Righetti
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 … Continue reading What to Knit – “Bloom”
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.

Workbasket Wednesday – Scrap Yarn Comfort Shawl
Workbasket Wednesday Scrap Yarn Comfort Shawl I have a love affair with shawls. Ok. So I have a love affair with just about everything knitting or crocheting.

Lifelines – Saving Knitting Projects and Knitters’ Sanity Around the World
We all hope that we will never make a mistake in any of our projects. However, we do have to be realistic and realize mistakes happen. In any knitting project following the old saying "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" can save you a few rows. There are some mistakes, like … Continue reading Lifelines – Saving Knitting Projects and Knitters’ Sanity Around the World

I am still working on my Cable Knit Scarf that I featured last week. Although I didn't finish this past weekend like I was really hoping to, I am very close to the last few rows and binding off. Another project I am pulling out of moth balls to really focus on this week is … Continue reading Workbasket Wednesday – Diamond Lace Scarf
Fixing an oopsie! Cable Stitch Crossed Wrong
Yesterday my girls and I were pretty antsy, and the weather was making for a very warm and beautiful day (albeit pretty windy) so we put up our school books and headed to the park.
