The weekends should not be for catching up, but this weekend that is what I will be doing. After a wind / rain storm on Wednesday night, we lost power and did not get it back until late Friday afternoon! UGH. It was such a ridiculous thing too, not a huge storm, but it did… Continue reading Mittens!

Photo update – color!
TNNA happened over the weekend, so I can go ahead and share color photos of one the projects I knit up for it. Over on the Lorna's Laces blog the posts have been discussing the colorway names - interesting stuff! I have never been to Chicago, except for an airport layover, but hope to someday!… Continue reading Photo update – color!
My Needles are Free!
Two projects that have been are the needles are now on their way to their respective homes before going on to a display adventure at TNNA next week. Life happens and as it happened working on these projects overlapped, so they were completed and shipped out within days of each other. One item is still… Continue reading My Needles are Free!
First FO
This was started in 2010, but was finished up yesterday. Presenting Cloud Chaser by Indigirl Amy Swenson, knit up as a sample for Lorna's Laces (to be shown at the TNNA Winter Show happening this weekend!)(Gah, the photos came out less than stellar - apologies. I should know better.) This was knit in "Honor" an… Continue reading First FO
Happy Sigh.
At the end of October I blogged about my Sock Love. My copy of Knit. Sock. Love arrived in the mail the other day! The book is lovely - even just to flip through - I love the layout and organization and stories. Happy sigh. I want to get this image printed on a project… Continue reading Happy Sigh.

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

It's the Shepherd Sock base, and this fantastic color (not sure of the name - it's new!)It was like an… Continue reading I’m at TNNA!
Two Sweaters
Since TNNA finished this weekend I can post about one of my recent knits for Lorna's Laces. They sent me some beautiful Fisherman Wool in "Unnamed Grey Colorway" (really, that's what it said on the ball band! It was grey-blue-purple, quite nice!) and asked me to knit Dulce De Leche from the Spring 2009 Twist… Continue reading Two Sweaters
Hat & Hoodie
Finally, I can blog about the hoodie project I worked on for LornasLaces - did you know they are expanding their colors to the Green Line - that's their organic merino wool. I was provided with some of the worsted weight in the "Beverly" colorway, which is just stunning! It was great shades of blue-grey-green.… Continue reading Hat & Hoodie
