When you think of knitting, do you think of "warm woolen mittens" like in the Favorite Things song? Or maybe the three little kittens who lost their mittens? I've never thought of myself as a mitten knitter, but I may have to readjust that mindset. I knit a pair of Flora Mittens as a knitalong… Continue reading Mitten Maker

First Finishes & Spiral Cowl WIP
I'm feeling pretty good about the knits this week. I have my first FO of 2016, a pair of Cindersmoke Mittens! So often I knit out of season, but it's been very cold waiting for the bus with the kids and there's a big snow storm coming (do you have your bread and milk stockpiled?).… Continue reading First Finishes & Spiral Cowl WIP
Loopy Academy 1st Semester Finished

Let's review: Freshman Year, First Semester Assignments (each project needs to use at least 175 yards): Cowl in a multi-colored (defined as 2 or more distinct… Continue reading Loopy Academy 1st Semester Finished
Mitten Progress and more
I can say it was a very good Christmas. The people with whom I spent time, the presents exchanged, and the food were all so wonderful. My mind feels just so full with plans, ideas, and thoughts... hopefully after cleaning up a bit and getting some work done I will be able to recharge with… Continue reading Mitten Progress and more
Halloween Hangover
This really was a Halloween to remember for a variety of reasons. This was the first "real" Halloween in 2 years (2011 had a snowstorm, 2012 had Sandy aftermath), my daughter was old enough to actually get into the whole costume and trick-or-treating side of things, and it was warm! Like 60 degrees F!! Positively… Continue reading Halloween Hangover
Mittens!
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!
Yarn Along – Jan. 30
Someone turns into a little ham when the camera comes out. He knows to say "Cheese" and look at that casual way of posing. Like he doesn't really care if he's in the shot or not. Silly boy. Anyway, I've had a fairly productive week. I am just about at the end of Season to… Continue reading Yarn Along – Jan. 30
Yarn Along – January 23
~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your… Continue reading Yarn Along – January 23

Christmas Knits
I have to say, I am quite pleased with myself and the gifts I knit for Christmas. There was no frantic weaving in of ends, and for the most part everything work as I intended it to. I found these great handmade gift labels to attach to each gift and include some care instructions on… Continue reading Christmas Knits
