I try to be realistic with my knitting queue, adding to it only those projects that I honestly, truly plan to knit someday. And at last count on Ravelry, I was up to 72. YIKES. But how can I help it when I see designs like Corsica?
Cables get me every time. [...]

Being stuck (at 7:43 on a Sunday evening) in what seems to be the only open pharmacy in the county is pretty sucky. Still, it’s made slightly more bearable when the (male) pharmacy tech looks at the knitting you fortunately remembered to bring and asks, “Are those bamboo?”

My dad just emailed to say that he checked out Alice Starmore’s “Tudor Roses” for me at a library in the next county up. Seeing as my local library carries about EIGHT knitting books total, I’m ecstatic!!!

I am not a particularly lucky person. New tubes of mascara dry up after three days. If I suggest a movie or restaurant, it will almost always be horrible. If there is anything to be tripped over on the ground, I will trip. Actually, even if there is nothing on the [...]

(I’m taking the lazy expeditious way out and copying my last post to the Fitted Knits KAL.)
It’s been a crazy last day or two, as I cast on for the Alexandra Ballerina Top on Wednesday night and…couldn’t stop. :P I’m usually not one for bulky yarns, but it sure makes projects come together quickly! I’ve [...]

I shared this already in the Knitting community on LiveJournal, but I thought I’d post here, and wave my pom-poms about my recent experience with WoolGirl.com.
I came across this vendor while checking out the stockists for my friend Axelle’s gorgeous cashmere. I’ll pause now, to allow you to pick your jaws up off the [...]

My four year-old son has big, blue eyes and a smile that will win you over in 0.25 seconds. He also has a few autistic tendencies and quirks that can make him, on occasion, a bit of a handful.
To be honest, I think he’s progressed far enough to no longer technically qualify for his [...]
