Life has gotten in the way of posting lately, but that's soon to change - especially as it's now the weekend, we were given Monday off from school, and Tuesday is a short day. I've been working on my Irish-Hiking-Scarf KnitAlong. I've been really drawn to the latest knitty suprise. I've yet to order my… Continue reading Secrets Revealed!

What a lucky duck I am 🙂 Yesterday, in the mail I received a package from my SKP2 - stickers!!!! Yay! A pretty fall notepad (it's up on the fridge) AND a really cool book ~ Stranded Color Knitting by Nanette Blanchard. I have been very cautious about doing this sort of thing (meaning I've… Continue reading 2 Treats!

It's been a while, but - tah-Dah!! A knitting photo! I'm using Cascade 220 - it's a purpley-green. I love this shade - my mom commented on it when I used it to make a Sophie bag over the summer. So, she's the intended recipient of this scarf - birthday or christmas, I don't quite… Continue reading Irish Hiking Scarf Knit-Along Progress

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

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) 🙂

For My Secret Pal - Thank you thank you thank you thank you and thank you for the package you sent! I adore the yarn (I'm thinking I'll make a felted bag...) and the Mike & Ike's were eaten promptly!! THe sticky notes are perfect for school - and wouldn't you know I've just made… Continue reading Pals, Knits And Other

I'm ashamed to admit that I have slacked off a bit here - only because school has started up again. Teaching science to grades 5 - 8 is exhausting. Plus wedding planning. 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

Ok, so currently I am working on two pairs of Broad Street Mittens (knitty.com), one pair for each of my brothers. I made one pair last year, for me, following the pattern exactly. 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
