    Clarke Pullover

    January 17, 2019 / 2 Comments

    Order Clonazepam Online I just realized that (according to Ravelry) I have been knitting for over six years now! You would think I would have gotten faster in that time, but for some reason I’m still a pretty slow knitter. I must be getting slightly faster though, because I knit a Clarke Pullover by Jane Richmond in less than my normal average of a year! It’s probably only partially the speed at which I knit, but also the frequency. Lately, I have been sewing more than I have been knitting, so that could be part of it. Anyway, as I always say, ain’t nothing like a deadline, and camp is always a reason…

    Brooklyn Tweed Bray Cap in Truffle Hunt Shelter

    November 6, 2016 / No Comments

    I’m still trying to get my back log of completed projects posted and am especially behind on knitting projects. This is the Brooklynn Tweed Bray Cap in Shelter that I finished back in March. See the lovely Lilac tree in the background? Everything is dead and rain soaked in my yard at the moment, so this makes me happy to look at now. In fact, I should be out cleaning up the garden and planting garlic right now. It’s so cold and cruddy out, that I am procrastinating by writing this post instead! That said, I’m going to keep this short and sweet, so I can get out there. We love garlic in this…

    Yellow Fingerless Gloves

    April 20, 2016 / 1 Comment

    Lorazepam Buy Online The knitting bug has got me bad. I’ve actually been knitting more than I have been sewing lately, so I’m a couple finished projects behind on sharing them. One project I finished recently is a pair of yellow fingerless gloves that I knit for my co-worker Lester. Lester and I worked together in the rental department of Glazer’s the first time I worked there, so we go way back. He is an amazing cook and baker and brought me cookies on my first day back to work. Technically, this was a trade for a pot of his signature chili and a batch of yummy molasses cookies, but he’s constantly sharing some delicious creation he brought to work, like whiskey caramels, banana bread…

    Completed: Miette Cardigan

    December 28, 2014 / 10 Comments

    Buy Clonazepam Online Overnight I almost can’t believe it, my Miette Cardigan is finally finished! And it only took me a year! Oof. In my defense, some things came up and I did sew a wedding dress in that time as well. There is a whole new level of pride that came with completing this sweater though. It was probably a combo of how long it took, and how new I was to knitting when I first started, that made it feel like an impossible task at times. When I started this cardigan, I had only been knitting for a short time and had made a couple of scarves, a couple of wrist bands and some handwarmers. No…

    Work in Progress- Miette Cardigan

    February 7, 2014 / 11 Comments

    https://www.whalesinmexico.com/get-involved/volunteer-vacations/ I am thrilled that I have gotten this far knitting my Miette cardigan by Andi Satterlund. I had been told, by some of my blogging buds, that the Miette was a good beginner’s sweater, but when I looked at the pattern it was like Greek to me. I never would have been able to get started without the help of the lovely ladies of Seattle Yarn‘s knitting night. In one evening, I learned all the stitches I needed to get going and I was on my way. Okay, that is not entirely true, I had to knit the first two rows, three times, before I got it right, but then I was on…

    Blogcademy Handwarmers

    February 3, 2014 / 4 Comments

    https://vendemed.com/pruebas-rapidas/ So it may seem like I didn’t knit anything for a long time and then just jumped to knitting the Miette Sweater. Well I did kind of jump from scarves and wristbands, skipping over socks and hats, and go to straight knitting a sweater. There was some knitting in between though, but it was for gifts, so it was a secret! Now that they are finished, delivered and received, I can finally blog about the three pairs of handwarmers (with the Blogcademy logo on them) that I made as thank you gift for the Blogcademy headmistresses, Shauna, Gala and Kat. If you are unfamiliar with what the Blogcademy is, you…

    Wild and Free Wristbands

    February 6, 2013 / 5 Comments

    My second knitting project ever! These were actually belated Christmas presents for some girlfriends of mine that have lovingly become known as “wild and free” (vs. “tamed and tied down” like the rest of us). Meaning, they’re spontaneous and do cool shit like go to France on a whim, sip tequila in fake eyelashes and have impromptu dance parties. They’re a little like Patsy and Edina, except they’re both totally functional and have successful careers. I saw a pattern in Stitch ‘n Bitch: The Knitter’s Handbook for a wristband that said “GEEK”. It said you could easily make them say anything you wanted them to, by making a graph. So I…
