Zombie-Vampire-A-Go-Go

I kind of feel like both right now.  I can’t sleep at night and I’ve been moaning like the undead for the past few days.  Hello, Strep Throat, I can’t say it’s nice to see you again, but here you are!
It’s not getting me down though!  My sock club started getting their February installments on [...]

Lichen Hat

Here is the Lichen Hat for my SIL.  I actually completed it before she arrived (funny, because I usually don’t finish gifts until several months after they’ve departed, this is a strange feeling).  As before, it’s the LichenHat because the yarn is Knit Picks’ Telemark in Lichen.  I had two strays and my SIL looks [...]

Bayberry Hat

What a relief it is to have finished a knitting project, and even more so that I was able to knit from my new book afterall.  I found some stray skeins hiding out in some boxes and after some quick calculations and a few yarn searches, I concluded that there was ample yardage to make this hat.

The hat turned [...]

Reading, Waiting, Knitting, More Reading

A lot goes into the arrival of an anticipated book, I think.  The knitting books, especially those coming from Hong Kong, cause me to spend a lot of energy just pining for them.  This time, to a degree that my knitting projects have suffered (but I did finish the first sleeve on my mom’s Slouchy [...]

Rock this Bag

It’s time for another give away, but not yarn this time.  We can never have too many knitting/crochet bags, right?  I can’t, I have four (or maybe there’s five…) and I do like to switch them out on occasion. 

We actually have a “sponsor” of sorts, this time around.  Underground Clothing, Co. has generously donated one of their [...]

May 11 & 12

I still feel like death warmed over, and over, and over…  But we’re all working though it.  Nothing like a Man Cold on Mother’s Day. 
 
I have a feeling that I’ll have this runny nose for the next two weeks, argh.  A small project was finished yesterday, presenting the White on White [...]

Zakka Basket from Pierrot

I made this all kinds of tiny.  Isn’t it cute though?  Single crochet has become very satisfying lately, it reminds me of when I first learned the knit stitch, but was still fumbling around with purl.  Garter stitch never feels quite as rewarding again once you’ve progressed beyond the novice stage, I [...]

May 4 & Cinco

Happy Cinco de Mayo!  I did finish a May 4th project, but it was nearly midnight before I realized I hadn’t posted yet.  Here’s May 4, another T-shirt Corset from the Alabama Stitch Book:

This had originally been a God Awfuls tee, but Mr. Yarn Bearer tossed it on the recon pile due to a stain [...]
