My creativity is low today…..but I did finish my Ring of Cables Hat!
I really love hats with pom-poms, and I personally thought this one needed something to finish it off (I need a hat with a bit higher of a profile, so this helps).
It’s cute and it helped clean out my stash (both leftovers from [...]

I kind of giggle in my head everytime I look at my current project recipe….Ring of Cables Hat makes me want to sing Ring Around the Rosy…or watch Lord of the Rings…it just doesn’t sound like a hat!
I had a lot going on this weekend (the winter sales were fabulous and sometimes therapy shopping is good [...]

I have been MIA for a while. Just trying to stay warm….hoping to heaven that we can actually stay above zero pretty soon! Everything is frozen, including my brain! Why do I live here again?
I moved to MN in September of 1992. My temping job had turned permanent and they actually offered me an allowance [...]

These are the 2 things I spent a good part of the day with….my latest tea cozy (knit in the round, and starting to take shape quite nicely) and Season 1 & 2 of Nero Wolfe. I had caught several epsiodes when it was on a few years ago, and loved it! The clothes and [...]

This summer I made a cotton scarf based loosely on the color block scarf from Sally Melville’s 1st book The Knit Stitch. I say loosely because the only thing I used was pattern inspiration from the color block scarf pattern. I did a 1X1 rib pattern instead of a garter stitch. The complicated part for [...]

I know I am a couple of days late. But I did finish the Koolhaas Hat in 2007 (at about 10 PM) and need to document its completion!
My jar of seashells from Florida is not as round as my head, but at least you get the idea! It turned out very well, and is my [...]
