I’ve been reading on Ravelry (knit and crochet community)
how everyone is going to this huge Sock Summit.
It’s like the knitting Olympics. And to be honest I never
knitted a sock.
I am clueless to what it takes to make sock.
I feel like I’m missing out. I’m not a stranger to dpns.
Actually I love them. [...]

Varsity Bound
(Yeah ME! I figured out how to upload a PDF file.)
I was working on Grandmother’s Favourite (http://butterisafruit.wordpress.com/2009/05/17/grandmothers-favourite/ )
when we found out
our niece’s baby, Matthew would be Christened very soon. So I
did a rush knit on Varsity Bound (sweater I knitted last year).
This one is much smaller and worked up far more quickly than
Baby David’s sweater did.
(David’s [...]

Found on Ravelry …Knit a village.
I say Found on Ravelry, because those gals (some guys)
are always posting interesting things. And this is one is
fascinating.
The ladies of Mersham Afternoon Club knitted A VILLAGE.
This is worth reading. Their work will be going to auction.

Grandmother’s Favourite.
Back in March I started a little sweater coat for a new Little Miss, 0-11 months.

Little Girls
I’ve started another project. It’s much better than cleaning house.
I’ve made this set before. This time I’m not going to do the leggings.
Instead I’ll do leg warmers. The pants and leggings are hard when
someone needs a diaper change.
I love the bonnet. I think all little girls should have a pretty bonnet.
I just started and [...]

Little things

I’m finally using up some of the lovely yarn
I purchased during the fall. I did make some
children hats from the Misti Alpaca Baby,
yarn named Could Blue.
With the leftovers I worked on a pair of mittens.
This yarn is very soft and flexible. I found that working with size
3 (three) dpns was the best bet. Instead of casting [...]

Lionsbrand, Envelope..Valentine’s Day Project
I subscribe to Lionbrand’s newsletter. This yarn company sends
some fun crafty ideas (mostly to sell yarn of course) ..and this one
was too precious not to share. I don’t crochet as much as I should,
however this is a simple pattern, and if your not inclinded to crochet
it would be simple to knit a swatch, 4 1/2″ [...]

Jan’s Sensational Scarf
I’ve had this book for a little while. I think I made one
item in it. Actually it’s a fun book. It has some nice
ideas.
Then today I was wondering what I’d do
with a pretty variegated hank of blue-white yarn.
I think what caught my eye was the brilliant blue.
Plus it was on sale, at my local yarn [...]
