Seriously, I can't stop! A wee Safety Cone crocheted in leftover cotton. To Infinity and Beyond? 🙂

I Can’t Stop.
It's more practice, so that's good. Yesterday while the Lorax was splashing about in her kiddie pool, I whipped up a "10 minute Crochet Preemie Hat (in about 25 minutes). I'm quite pleased, though I still can't get over the size of it. I had spotted on Facebook a "Call to Knitters" for purple hats… Continue reading I Can’t Stop.
Practice
Last week I spent a lot of time in the car traveling (and luckily not a whole lot stuck in traffic). My knitting projects at the moment were either too big or too complicated to bring along, especially when you take into account the Lorax in the backseat who frequently asks me to hand her… Continue reading Practice
Lil’ ladybug
My needles suddenly feel free and empty - another project was finished last week! I made Ladybug from Petite Purls for a little lady born last Sunday. I could tell in the making of this sweater that it was going to be quite big for her, but I pushed ahead to finish it in time… Continue reading Lil’ ladybug
Longest Project Title Yet
I mentioned previously that I was switching my SnB "Shawl-Along" project from the swirl shawl to Herbivore. Now I am pleased to report that my "Herbivore of Spring Flowers at Twilight" is finished! I even wore it a bit last night at SnB - between the AC and the lemonade, I needed it! I really… Continue reading Longest Project Title Yet
Happy things
Things that make me happy right now:New Yarns!Susan from Schaefer Yarn Company, in the "Laura Ingalls Wilder" colorway. This is likely going to become Storm Cloud Shawlette, Calais, or Traveling Woman. (Is this picture ugly-pretty? I was playing around with fabric and while I don't love it as a background for the yarn, it makes… Continue reading Happy things
Undone
Someone picked up a sweater for the Lorax at a recent school bazaar. The thought was lovely, but this sweater? So not for the Lorax, style-wise or size-wise. She ran away from it, so I don't even have a real idea of what it would look like on her. But it's wide. And there's a… Continue reading Undone
Knitting In Advance
Last summer, I test and sample knit a sock for The Unique Sheep's Lord of the Strings club. Frequently, my test / sock knitting projects are done under a rather tight deadline (most recent record holder? A sock for Cookie A's new book in 5 days!) - but this project was for the June 2010… Continue reading Knitting In Advance
Yarn, Sun & Kool Aid – a knitter’s summer
Two weeks back a streak of hot weather and sunny days and leftover yarn from the blanket and a rediscovery of Kool-Aid / Weyler's in a cabinet make me want to try solar dyeing. My first experience with Kool-Aid Dyeing came out pretty well, though I still haven't worked up that yarn (or dyed the… Continue reading Yarn, Sun & Kool Aid – a knitter’s summer
Hike in the Heat?
So, we're in the early stages of what's looking to be one serious heat wave this week. I'm not leaving my AC if I can help it, though I do love to spend time outside. This is pretty much the only "mountain" I can handle this week:It's a Micro Mountain from the Knitting Mochimochi book.… Continue reading Hike in the Heat?
