So Good to Be Bad
Reference Well, as you might have suspected, I did go to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival the other week. It was a hot one, too. I can’t remember it being that warm (up to 90 degrees) at the festival. Fortunately, this year, Columbia Sip and Knit had a hospitality “suite” just outside the entrance…

Go no further if you haven’t received yours and still want to…

Dark Lady
Reference Finally, something to show you! My Poesis socks are done! And although I really love the resulting sock, I doubt if I will ever work with a yarn this dark again. It was very difficult for me to see the stitches that I was working in anything but ideal light; and most of my…

Reference There has been a lot going on around here, but not a lot to show for it. A little over a week ago, I finished writing up the pattern for Sheila’s sock club so that everyone’s favorite test knitter could start knitting it. I still have some hints and tricks that I want to…

A Moment Like This
Reference I have to say that I was a bit surprised when I gave my co-worker the sweater for his daughter, that should be arriving any day now. He got a little choked up and was extremely appreciative. There were a number of things that played into the emotions, like the reminder that he is…
