I have been on vacation as you know. I tried to improve my photography skills. With the black volcanic rock of The Big Island and the pale blue of the ocean it proved a challenge. The above photo is one of my best pictures.
I was only there for two weeks. It [...]
Last week, I had nothing to on the needles so I skipped. This week, I have many new cast ons and the Ravelympics (scroll down a bit) is just around the corner.
First up the second sock that was cast on this weekend,
CareBears sock has progress to movie knitting length. We will be going [...]
I have been a bit over obsessed with a certain project in my rotation. It refused to let go of my attentions until last night (Wednesday) past midnight. I used every scrap of 5 skeins. Phew. It took a trip to show off at Twisted for my month yarn shop stop. [...]
I have been knitting away on one project lately.
I got the body completed on Saturday. Finished the Hip ribbing that needs a very cool button and a good blocking to look better.
I started a sleeve yesterday. My goal was to do it top down and attach it to the body since I have [...]
Hey guys,
POF has finished its move in. I have fixed all the links that I can think of. If something is wonky or missing, let me know. I need to put in some more widgets but mostly it is all done.

I was good this week. I paid attention to all my WIPs but of course got more done on the largest and newest one.
The Firebrick mitten in its smallest size is doing well but I cam getting distracted by shiny knits. I need to get the thumb on by this weekend. My [...]
Man o Man has time marched on. I promised you my mojo eater ideas. So here they are:
1. All my projects are boring to me. Too much stockinette stitch and ribbing.
2. The crud came knocking this weekend. The unknown beginnings were messing with me.
3. There is a new knitter in the house. [...]
Do you ever have those weeks were nothing gets done? Well it seems like that was last week. I have either had no time for knitting or no desire to knit. The mojo is gone. Here is how last week went:
Thursday – 12 hours of errands in Portland so maybe a [...]
I only have one active thing on the needles. They are BILs socks for Christmas. I am almost done with one sock and then will get onto the second one. I hope to cast on for Labyrinth later this weekend. Churchable is gone all weekend so I should have lots of [...]
