  • Holding Strong

    I have declared that I am not knitting gifts for Christmas this year and I am holding strong.  I have about 6 design projects going and there are deadlines involved.    Good sense has been prevailing.  I am holding strong. But… Continue reading

  • Casting On For Taking Off

    We are flying to Spokane tomorrow to see our son, Geoff, and I am a little nervous.  Not about the flight itself or flying in general – I am a bit frantic about what knitting to take. I have been… Continue reading

  • A Versatile Border Technique

    I have a weakness for complicated knitting.  I find stitch patterns exciting and I love combining different yarns in the same piece – happily working several panels of lace, cables, textures all at once with 2, 3, 4 balls of… Continue reading

    My husband, George, is accustomed to finding baskets and bags of knitting about the house.  He was kind of wondering, though, why there are now empty bowls strewn about as well.  A ceramic bowl has been living on the floor… Continue reading
