I have long owned Joelle Hoverson’s Last-Minute Knitted Gifts. I have knit quite a few items from that book, including some baby booties and a sweater (twice, actually, because the first time I wasn’t happy with the fit, so I ripped it all apart and began again). Not only are the patterns in this book [...]

New stripey knitting project
Posted in Handmade, Trips, Uncategorized on January 18, 2012 | 3 Comments »
I started knitting a new scarf/shawl this weekend. I haven’t really knit very much in a while, so it’s nice to be back into it. The scarf is scarf/shawl style because it’s wider than a normal scarf; however, since it’s made with lace-weight wool, it will ultimately be a little less bulky than one might [...]
