I am attempting to knit a dog sweater for Tatum. I am going to cable it, I hope… and I’m adapting it from a sweater that is supposed to fit a yorkie. Well, Tatum is much bigger than a Yorkie, and my math is utterly horrible, so we’ll see how it goes. The worst thing [...]

I know I shouldn’t get it… but I can’t help myself, because they have such great value and such beautiful products, and I really do love to knit! Check out these Ankle Socks at Knit Picks. I ordered enough yarn for 4 pair plus the pattern. And a set of #2 DPN, that nice colored [...]

Ugh, I’m tired. After cleaning out that room yesterday I was completely tired last night. And today was run around day for myself and my husband. We went to church this morning (yuck – I haven’t been for over 10 years, I don’t believe in organized religion) because the husband’s Dad and StepMom are going [...]

I am learning how to knit socks. They are fun.. challenging while at the same time having easier spots. I’m not too crazy about the ribbing, but I like doing the heels, and the gusset decreases. First Pair of Socks I’m having a hard time matching when I make a pair, as they are tricky. [...]

The first of my scarves is done. This is a template scarf, for Lucy. Lucy is a Slitheryn. She is cunning and it just fits her! I plan on gathering some herbs for the scarves, to see how that goes too. And I’ve ordered all the colors. However, the yellow is severely backordered, so no [...]
