Yeah!
I think Mom likes her shawl. Wanna see how it turned out? Chris took some photos of me modeling Petals of Pink Champagne before I took it to Mom.
Comfort Knitting
You’ve heard of comfort food right? This morning I told Chris I didn’t feel well and I needed comfort knitting. It’s that knitting that isn’t frivolous and isn’t fancy. It just makes you feel good. And usually it’s fast. I think this is part of why people knit dish clothes (although I’ve never done it…
DetailsKnitting Distraction
It’s a little crazy but I joined a group whose goal it is to knit ten lace shawls in 2010. Yeah, ten lace shawls in one year. Crazy – like I said. None of the ten can be cast on before January 1st. Since I’ve recently finished one big lace project (which I cannot show…

DetailsA good day was had by all.
Today was good. I had an FO (finished object for those not up on their knitting lingo), a Bind Off, and a sugar rush. First up – the FO because it just doesn’t happen often enough. Last Saturday Cathy and I drove to OKC for a SWAK class on Fair Isle knitting. For longer than…
