In with the New

By admin | Published: January 4, 2012

Yesterday I told you about the project that I finished up to say good-bye to 2011.  The best thing about that is saying hello to my first project of 2012.  Of course, it is knitting.  But, it is proving to be a bit of a challenge. I suppose there are some knitters out there who [...]

Out with the Old

By admin | Published: January 3, 2012

Amy at the CMP gave me this idea a few years ago.  I thought it sounded like a keeper, but at that time I had two very little boys and taking time when they were with me was not a possibility.  Now, they are 5 and 6 and things are better….a little….:)! The idea was [...]

Just in case you need another reason to learn to Knit

By admin | Published: March 7, 2011

Life is going by way too quickly.  I have been a bit distracted by the births of a new Nephew in February and a new Niece in March.  Both babies and moms are doing great, but I am sooooo far behind.  I have been in auntie fog I suppose.  More of new baby stuff later, [...]

A Knitted Prayer

By admin | Published: February 16, 2011

Today we will welcome a new Curran into the clan. I have to say, I am terribly excited, but also very anxious about the delivery. It has taken the delivery of both of my children, my two nephews and a niece to figure out that this childbirth thing IS A BIG DEAL. There are so [...]

We Love Lucye

By admin | Published: February 7, 2011

Despite the blizzard of 2011, family and friends gathered to celebrate the upcoming arrival of Lucye Jane.  Since it is so close to Valentine’s Day, and it is the first girl born to me and my sisters…..pink and hearts became the theme. The shower was full of handmade details.  Felt banners, custom conversation hearts, knit [...]

Do Not Try This At Home!

By admin | Published: October 12, 2010

I have often thought that if only I could burn calories while knitting like my friends do with their more athletic hobbies, I would be a perfect size 4.  I have the discipline, the desire, the sheer will power to knit my way into losing at least 50 pounds if it just involved discipline, desire, [...]

A New Spin on Things

By admin | Published: October 6, 2010

Did I bring anything home from the Taos Wool Festival?  Yes, yes, yes…..I also learned something new.  I am now a knitter and a SPINNER. First, Linda from Lonesome Stone taught us how to pick out good raw fleece, the fleece right off the animal,  and roving, clean, combed and put into “tops”. Then, Ruth [...]

KNITCATION – We Saw

By admin | Published: October 4, 2010

I had an amazing weekend with a dear friend on our First Ever….hopefully, First Annual KNITCATION.  We spent two days monkeying around at the Taos Wool Festival. There were all kinds of sheep, goats, yaks, and alpaca.  They were beautiful….I especially loved the fluffy sheep. There was roving, roving, and more roving…..again, beautiful. Of course, [...]

In the Works….A Shawl

By admin | Published: September 27, 2010

I love to knit lace.  It is very cathartic for me.  It is involves just enough through that I have to block most other thoughts out.  I also love shawls.  I guess it is the grandma that hides inside of me.  I will say that it is a bit ironic that I like shawls since [...]
