  • Seamless Hybrid Sweater Brain Teasers

    George’s Seamless Hybrid Sweater (could there be a less romantic name for a sweater design? sounds like some kind of sea anemone or flowering anemone! ah, tho, I love EZ’s practicality!) is progressing – so much so that I felt… Continue reading

  • Finishing

    I am still working in “just finish it!” mode.  And aside from Gwen’s stockings, I have finished the Christmas/Epiphany/Groundhog’s Day gift that I cannot disclose quite yet (it is late – it should at least be a surprise!).    I… Continue reading

  • Grandbaby Knitting

    So, here are the photos of the current grandbaby knitting projects I promised, oh, about a week ago. The Eskimo Cocoon for Owen (I call mine the Lumberjack Pod!) is done and ready for the baby — we are ALL… Continue reading

  • Mittens For The Manic

    Apparently when I am stressed, I turn to new knitting projects – probably has to do with some psychological need to be in control of something or maybe it is sheer mental escape!  Anyhow, it has been a stressful week… Continue reading

  • EZ’s Phoney Seam

    I find I am working from patterns (rather my own designs) this Fall – it is marvelously expedient (since someone else has worked out all the bugs!) and a good learning experience as I work through another knitter’s process.  … Continue reading

  • Last Day Of Summer

    Summer seems to have simply worn herself out and collapsed in a dusty heap.  It is Autumn’s duty to step in, of course, but I think she will merely be aping her older sister’s dreary warmth for a while –… Continue reading

  • A Baby Cap

    I have been diligently working on the 2 blankets I am knitting for Sonja’s baby Owen (due in November) – and the Baby Pod and slip-stitch trousers (that match the Tea Leaf Jacket) are waiting in the wings.  So, I… Continue reading
