Shawl Knitting

I recently purchased “Knitting Lace Triangles” by Evelyn Clark.  It’s the most fantastic book!!  Well, I’m not sure if it’s a book or a booklet…  It seems quite small at first, but once you open it, you realize it’s not small in content quality.  It’s spiral bound, which I love.  I wish all knitting books [...]

Pea Pod Hat and Swollen Feet

My feet are swollen!! It makes me not want to work on any socks. It’s just so disappointing when my ankles are so huge! I’ve had many suggestions on Ravelry, since I can’t try on the socks, and they were good ones. It was to get sock blockers to test for [...]

After dropping off the face of the earth….

It’s like I completely forgot my blog.  I just couldn’t figure out what to write about.  Or have the energy!!  I’ve been getting the itch to work on it again though, so let’s see how it goes.
I have a few things to speak of – but I’ll spread them out for future posts!  I am [...]

Big changes!

I am pregnant.  I’m about 14 weeks along.  This is why I was on bed rest for a while, I’ve been having some difficulties, but it seems those are better now….  I was really afraid to tell anyone and get too hopeful.  But, I’m ready to tell you now!!!  We are so excited – so [...]

FO: A Stork’s Nest Scarf

I meant to post the FO the next day after my teaser, but my husband took the camera cord in his briefcase and left it at his office for several days!! It definitely is lace.
This is “A Stork’s Nest Scarf” by Nancy Bush. It was in Piecework Magazine Jan/Feb 2008. I fell [...]

I finished something!

I finally finished something. However, blocking it may have pushed me past the line of sanity. Seriously, I am the worst blocker ever.

I’ll have FO pictures soon!  Can you guess what it is before I show you the after effect?

And in other news, I am officially off bedrest and return to work tomorrow….  [...]

Bedrest

I’m on bedrest for a week (yes, I’m ok – just precautions, and I’ll explain later). You’d think I’d love it… think of all that knitting… but I don’t love it. *sigh* It’s just making me crazy.

Happy New Year

I know. I totally disappeared. But I had nothing interesting to say or show you.
I still don’t really.
I was in two weddings in December, worked on Christmas day, stayed on the road, and frankly I was too tired to find anything interesting… Oh, I was also sick enough to need IV fluids [...]

Blogging Sleep Deprived

I was on call last night, and got called in for an appendectomy at 4am.  Then, when I got home I had a hard time falling back asleep.  And then when I did, Sam cat felt I should be awake so he knocked all my stuff off my nightstand one by one between his meows.
I [...]

FO: Swallowtail Shawl (finally!)

I finally finished the Swallowtail Shawl!!! (I’m sure you are in total shock I finished anything!) It’s a tad small, but I saw someone in Ravelry using it as sort of a scarf like thing, and it looked pretty good that way.
I love the pattern, and I may make another one but with [...]
