Knitting Rambles

I am dreaming about knitting.
Maybe that’s a sign of going crazy?
Also, my mom came to visit. I had one Monkey done. I had originally thought they would be for her until I saw how the yarn striped up. I didn’t think it was her style. Apparently, I was wrong. She grabbed [...]

Happiness Comes In Baby Knits

As soon as I finished up my baby sweater, I cast on for the Reversible Stripes and Dots hat from itty bitty hats. It seems I can not get enough baby knitting in. Of course, it seems like everyone I know is pregnant, so I have the perfect excuses! The picture [...]

I had a pea pod disaster.

I picked up the stitches for the collar.  I managed to pucker it in the back.  A lot.  I am going to rip out the collar, it has to be done.  But I couldn’t handle doing it last night, so I took a deep breath and set it aside.  I will probably rip out the [...]

Knitting progress:  I am currently attempting to pick up stitches on the Pea Pod Baby sweater collar.  Started working on a Monkey sock, [...]
