My goals for March will seem like a bit of a repeat. Oh well! It is what I need to do right now. I’m not moving mountains, but I am feeling really good about what I’m doing and have been able to accomplish, as well as what I have been able to avoid doing. You [...]

February Goals Update
Well I didn’t do so hot on the goals for February. Here’s where I’m at. Lose 5 more pounds. If I did it last month (with all of the extras/sweets I ate) I should be able to this month! Keep working on the afghan I’m knitting. Finish curtains for M’s room. All I have to [...]

January Goals – How did I do?
Thought I should check in and see how I did with the goals I set for January. Here they are, what I accomplished in bold: Lose 5 pounds. I am pretty sure I can do this. Work back up to exercising 5 days a week. Not every day has to be intense, so I think [...]

FO: Random Obscurity Scarf
M took the photo for this one, she did pretty good! She also did the photos for my Margo hat. Not bad for a rookie, not that I’m any better – ha! This one is from my handspun, a 50/50 merino/tencel blend from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. The idea came from Spin-Off magazine. The scarf [...]

FO: Margo Hat
I’m trying to get some of the knitted things that have been done for a while posted, rather than letting them go off somewhere and be forgotten. So you might see somewhat of a Finished Object parade in the next little while… This one is made from my handspun that I named Margot. It was [...]

FO: Scarf, hat and mittens
I knit these up as a gift for M for Christmas. I love how they turned out!! I didn’t really use patterns but I did use my Knitter’s Handy Book of Patterns as a guide. I couldn’t really do it in secret as I waited until too close to Christmas, so when I was knitting [...]

What do I knit?
I want to knit myself a sweater. I am not sure what I should knit though! I don’t want something that will make me look bigger than I am. I think I am an apple shape with boobs and belly to consider, as well as the extra pounds I’ve got hanging around right now. I [...]

Instant gratification
I felt a strong urge to knit a big bulky hat this morning. I searched in my handspun and came up with some yarn that I spun a few years ago. I wasn’t sure I’d have enough but I made it! It is reversible, but I like it better on me with the purl side [...]

Garter Stripe Square Bag
