  • A Tale Of Two Swatches

    So, I like to swatch (I think knitters fall into 2 categories:  those who enjoy swatching and those who don’t – although most knitters see the necessity, but then there are those who never-ever-ever swatch so it is best not… Continue reading

  • How Fares The Joyful Ferocity?

    The Joyful Ferocity has a mind and spirit of its own!  It is the jacket commissioned by my dear friend, Joyce (hence the name) – more months ago than I would like to admit.  It is decidedly the most spirited… Continue reading

  • A Humble Cardigan

    One would assume that a knitter – a dedicated and prolific knitter – would have a favorite handknit sweater in which to hang about.  A cozy slip-on-in-the-evening sweater.  A simple run-to-the-store sweater.  A serviceable must-take-when-traveling sweater. Well, I do not… Continue reading

    I am re-united with my yarn!  And can (as promised) give an account of our Oregon Coast yarn shopping exploits. Sarah and I hit A Yarn For All Seasons in Newport within a few days of hitting the coast.  It… Continue reading

  • Summer Travel Plays Havoc With Blogging

    Dateline:  Santa Clara, Calif.  Sasha and I drove here directly from our family vacation at the Oregon Coast.  She is moving into a new apartment and I am her driving buddy/cheap moving labor.   And I can never resist a chance… Continue reading

  • Knitting At The Beach

    A family vacation at The Beach seems like an ideal knitting situation – until one is actually at The Beach with the family!  I have worked many rows on Gwen’s blankets – which is the simplest knitting I brought.  Good… Continue reading
