Well, I've gotten quite a bit done in the last week, but it's been exclusively on a new design of mine that I can't show you. Sorry! But, I can tell you that I'm using Cascade 220Â Superwash for the first time (I know, shocking! How is it I've never worked with it before?) and I… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

Start-itis
So I have no Master Knitter stuff to show you this week. I had a busy weekend - Sunday we drove to Goldsboro for the 'Wings over Wayne' airshow and we were gone ALL day. I did get some knitting done in the car, but not on my swatches (I like to do those in… Continue reading Start-itis

I thought I might post a favorite recipe of mine once a week or so. I love to cook - well bake, mostly - but I do enjoy cooking too, as long as I don't have to stand at the stove for too long. But baked goods are what I really like to make. I've… Continue reading Scones

Well, I don't have a finished sweater to show you after all. But I do have the back and part of the left side:  I've been mostly working on a couple designs that I have going right now, so I haven't worked on the sweater as much as I thought I would. Plus, the… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
Master Knitter Monday: Issue #8
Didn't get much done this last week by way of the MK swatches. I just seamed the one that was waiting to be seamed. Here's Swatch #6 seamed: It's a horizontal to vertical seam - common in shoulders of sweaters and such. So, that's it for this week - let's hope I can get a… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday: Issue #8
Flowers make me happy
Spring is well and truly here in NC. My favorite season!  (Despite the allergies - did you know Charlotte is the 3rd worst city in the US for allergies? I can sure believe it!) The boys and I took a quick field trip yesterday to a little local garden area which is always so beautiful this… Continue reading Flowers make me happy
WiP Wednesday
Well, my sock design wasn't thrilling me, so I ripped it out and am starting anew with it. Such is life. I'm hoping a few new stitch pattern books (ordered today) will inspire me. We'll see. Moving on to what is on my needles today: We had a couple of really cold days there last… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

But be sure to check out all the other fantastic designs in this month's issue as well! I really like the Rivercat… Continue reading I’m so excited!!
Master Knitter Monday: Issue #7
I've got a couple swatches to show you today! Here's Swatch #4 - 1x1 ribbing seamed. And here's Swatch #5 - 2x2 ribbing seamed. I have Swatch #6 knit and blocked, but not seamed yet - it's a horizontal to vertical seamed edge. I should have that to show you next week. Plus hopefully some… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday: Issue #7

I have lots on the needles now - LOTS! I'm on a roll cranking out the MK swatches, but I'll save those to show you on Monday. I also have 3 half-pairs of socks that need mates soon (before the boys have another growth spurt!), but I've put those on hold for the time being -… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
