Remember me? Not only do I still know how to knit but I’ve been knitting again! I picked up my frost flowers and leaves shawl/blanket and have started working on it again. I was surprised at how easily the pattern came back to me. Even though I hadn’t worked on it in weeks, …
I finished the trellis scarf! This is the first lace item I’ve knit that looked all bunchy until I blocked it. It came out so pretty that I’m rethinking my plan to give it away. I don’t really need it, though. I want to put some beads on the ends of …

I brother came to visit for 5 days and we had a really good time. This was his 1st time visiting Mike and I in the 5 years we’ve been married so it was nice to have him at our place for once! We did the grand tour of Portland and the gorge, ate a [...]
I had so much fun at the fair on Sunday! I took lots of pictures, petted lots of animals and ate lots of sugar. I told you before that I won ribbons so here is the proof. My river stole only got third but everything else won a blue ribbon! They hung my …

Thanks for the nice comments about Phoebe. I realize I didn’t actually put in the link to the picture of her fur that I spun. If you still want to see my sorry attempt at spinning angora, it’s here. My good friend is getting married this month. I’ve been planning on knitting her …

It’s done and it fits!! I love my corset pullover. If you like it too, the pattern is free! That makes it even better in my mind. Yarn: Knitpicks shine sport in hydrangea. The pattern called for a worsted weight yarn so this involved a LOT of math to adjust the pattern. …

Aaaahhhh! This is why it was better to have my bustier unfinished in my knitting basket. It is too big!! I measured and it seemed fine but when I sewed on the fabric and laced it up it’s too big. Just when I think maybe it’s not that big and I can live …

Okay y’all. The Knitorama pattern sucked so much that I totally changed it when I knit my apple cozies. There’s been some interest so I’ll share it with you. Materials: I used size 8 dpns and Lion brand woolease. Guage doesn’t really matter, you just want it to fit an apple. If you get to [...]
