A week out of town and blogging exclusively from my phone led to a lot of typos (louet germs yarn? ha!) and some grainy photos but I managed to only miss one day, I believe. Not too shabby! While I was in DC visiting family for the Thanksgiving holiday, my mom handed me her copy [...]
Read More..>>Still working on daybreak, but I’m almost to the bind off. Right now I am trying to decide between 5 ridges and 7 ridges. Do I have enough yarn for 7? I think so, but I’m not sure.

Read More..>>When I flew to DC last month for business, I lamented to myself that I never saw anyone else knitting or crocheting on my flights. Yesterday I had settled into the center seat (ugh) between a woman at the window and my husband on the aisle. While the plane was sitting at the gate for [...]
Read More..>>This trip around, I opted to bring one project and one alone. The idea is that with just one project, I will have to work on it regardless of how mindnumbingly boring it is. So I picked Daybreak – I love how it is turning out and I love the yarn but the actual knitting [...]
