On The Needles

  • Beginning The Lace Stole

    The Lace Stole is begun!  I have worked 6 pattern rows – each stitch the size of a fly’s leg draped over the needle – and the knitted fabric stretches out to nearly half-an-inch (it is usually wrapped around the… Continue reading

  • Gray Knitting

    We are having gray, wet days — and I have spent a lot of time on the road in the rain.   Blech.  Our Spring weather is so often gray, wet and cold.  Did I mention the gray? And today at… Continue reading
