One of my resolutions for 2011 is to try to finish my Level 2 Master Knitter submission. I passed Level 1 in September of 2009, and ordered my Level 2 instructions right away. I started on my research for the report as soon as I got my instructions. I started on a couple of the swatches… Continue reading Master Knitter Monday: Issue #1

2010: My Knitting Year in Review
Here's a Mosaic of all my FOs of 2010:I would say the one I'm most proud of is my Ravelympics Autumn Rose sweater.  My two goals for 2010 were to only knit from my stash, and to finish my Level 2 Master Knitter submission. Well, I almost met the first goal, and didn't even come close to… Continue reading 2010: My Knitting Year in Review
First FO of 2011
I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday season, no matter what holidays you celebrate! We had a lovely holiday break. I didn't pick up the needles much over the break, since we were doing some home remodeling - changing our open floor plan laundry room into an enclosed laundry room/pantry. As a consequence, I kind… Continue reading First FO of 2011

On the B-Side

Pattern: B-Side Cardigan Yarn: Bugga! from Sanguine… Continue reading On the B-Side
Fall is here…
...but it sure doesn't feel like it yet! I'm chugging along on my B-side cardi, and I'm hoping to have it done by the time SAFF rolls around. This will be my first year going to SAFF, and I'm really excited! I'm going for all three days - it'll be a mini-momcation for me. I… Continue reading Fall is here…
Fall is on its way…
Thankfully. I've been super busy, but I can't show you what I've been working on yet. But it's something I'm very excited about! I cannot wait until I can share it, but it will most likely be a bit longer before I can. So, no knitting content today, but rest assured, I'm knitting my little… Continue reading Fall is on its way…
Welcome to my new website/blog!
I decided that I needed more versatility than Blogger could provide, so I've moved to a WordPress site. Bear with me while everything gets moved over and set up! Happy Knitting!
