I've decided that while you all patiently wait for my next knitting post I would work on one of those "100 Things About Me" list. I think I can come up with that. 1. My name is Becca. 2. I'm left-handed. 3. I cut right-handed though. 4. I've always been crafty. 5. I doodle more… Continue reading 100 Things About Me

eep! jcrew sent me their catalog today - how much do I love the embroidered critter lounge pants / boxers?? Sheep & Dragonflies!!

In my mail pile was the latest Family Circle Easy Knitting. I am really taken by the first of the "Trimming" selections... I'm thinking maybe a blue on blue or brown / blue combo of yarn and trim? Hrm. That would be fun. Also, it would take me four evers to even do a pillow,… Continue reading New projects

Need a laugh today? Check this out: http://codaproductions.com/elevator/ The frustrated guy in the elevator (not the forgetful one) is my brother. I'm proudly promoting his talents (non-knitting) 🙂

THe sticky notes are perfect for school - and wouldn't you know I've just made… Continue reading Pals, Knits And Other

Plus keeping everyone happy 🙂 Plus squeezing in knitting (truly a good description, it's like guerilla knitting!) I'm working on it. I'm going… Continue reading Slacker

They were a little big, but for me they were fine. My concern is that I'm knitting these for guys with big… Continue reading Broad Street Mittens

To my secret pal ~ thank you so much for the goodies! Wouldn't you know that the next thing I am supposed to knit for my guy is a pair of socks? Perfect! And I adore the Burt's Bees (I'm trying to move from here to his place, so the little samples are great!). And… Continue reading Lucky Duck

I really would like to love this hat a little more... it's practice I suppose. maybe Kermit can wear it in class. My Summer Bottoms Up HatPosted by Hello

Last night I finished my bottom's-up-along-piece. I'm affectionately calling it the big green monster. It's not Incredible-Hulk-green, rather "Lily Pad" which I really liked when I started (I have a fondness for all things froggy, especially those poison-dart-frogs) But now I'm sort of just fed up with this project - it's a great pattern, a… Continue reading Wrapping Up to Start Anew
