Now, I have not done any colorwork beyond stripes, so this will be my first Fair Isle piece. IContinue reading “Teaching myself new tricks”

I am very excited about what I am calling my Paint Box Socks.They are in Patons Kroy sock yarn, colorway Paint Box. I am knitting them at a very small gauge, which I didn’t think about when I started, (maybe something should have clicked when I was getting 10 sts per inch when I swatched)Continue reading “Penny Measuring System”

Davis has solved my picture problem. Yay! And it was not my nagging post about him not fixing it that put him over the edge. Anyway, seeing as I have to be at work early tomorrow, I will post about knitting. Kisses.

For her birthday, Ella got my first completed pair of adult size socks. (I had many false starts. I’m sureContinue reading “Happy Birthday Ella!”

Happy New Year to everyone! I hope this year is the best year of your life. I am still working on the blog style, however I think it is coming along nicely. I even have a title for my blog now. My loving family tried to help me come up with a name the otherContinue reading “Happy New Year”

I have always wanted my own little world, and now I have one! I am starting a blog, mostly because I want to share my knitted experiences with other who share my interest, especially since my family and most of my friends are insane for thinking knitting is boring uninformed about the joys of knitting.Continue reading “Welcome!”
