Photo by Daria Shevtsova on Pexels.com When I first began to knit, decades ago, I went for what I could afford, at the shops that were close enough for me to get to. For me, there was no such thing as a local knitting store. My choices were department stores that also sold yarn, hobby …

Should I Knit Or Should I Not?
Photo by rocknwool on Unsplash So, I have had a running goal of knitting twelve sweaters every year; ever since I started to make that goal, I have in no way come even close to achieving that goal. I thought I was more on track this year when I completed four sweaters in February, all …
Projects Check-In
photo unsplash.com So, I haven't been doing that much knitting this month. I did finish the one short-sleeved top based on Knitatude's Stockinette Beginner's Raglan. (not an affiliate link) I used Hobbii's Fluffy Day XL yarn (not an affiliate link). You will see that the pattern calls for Super Bulky yarn and the Fluffy Day …
FOs From January

So, Let’s Knit Some Slippers
Photo by Tara Evans on Unsplash I believe I have spoken about my need for a mass influx of slippers for this house, especially for myself. Not that my youngest and my husband don't need them as well--and yes, I will make sure they get some as well. Now, I will probably make a bunch …
More Knitting To Keep Me Moving
Photo by Erica Marsland Huynh on Unsplash For years, I have wanted to knit or crochet or sew or craft or something decorations for our Yule tree. I have always been far too busy with all sorts of things to ever actually do anything...I don't think I have ever even sat down and thought about …
