What to start?

Friday, 28 February 2003 9:04 A GMT-06
Well I think I can admit I am not too keen to keep working on the Hues in Horizontal sweater. I am just not into that Lopi Lite. I think I am going to hank it and wash it. Maybe then I will like it better. So now I am thinking I need to start an

Hurriedly sped back home from the Dentist's office to get my mail. There was my box, I knew it was my box, it was a day-late-getting-to-me box, because our post office must shut down in snow! It was my lovely red Cascade yarn with 2 different red Fur

When is this stuff going to stop? Not sure how much new stuff is on the ground, but my front walk will never be clear at this rate. We still had some snow drifts that never melted from last week, then big flakes yesterday afternoon and now major

Oh no!

What is the furthest back into your knitting that you have found a mistake? How about on a sock? Maybe the 10th row back? Try finding a mistake on this sock, hint-it's in the pattern!           &nbs

I was reading the thoughtful Knitter's Review at today and it motivated me to consider my book collection. I so enjoy Knitter's Review and Clara's Window. If you haven't checked them out do so! I started my library in Winter 2000 with Vogue

Have you ever done a swatch to work out your colors? And then realized something isn't working? Well, that is where I am. I got some colors to use in a Fair Isle and, never being one to follow the original colors, now I have to plug in my colors. The

Orders, Orders

Wednesday, 19 February 2003 9:12 A GMT-06
I sit here and ponder this question- Why am I placing more yarn orders when I have so much yarn unused? And I don't really have all that much, but I do have enough to keep me knitting for the next 6 months! But why am I lured by the stuff I don't hav

Blue skies and warm temperatures are a welcome relief from the cold. The 14 ½ hour car ride down was even a nice departure from noisy kids and the ringing phone. And when you have 3 knitting projects with you in the car it is even better. Our trip b
