Goings On in the Knitting World
It seems as though ideas are running rampant in the knitting world. And, I’d like to make you aware of just three of them. Wanted #2–Luz Mojito Crafty Detour (of which I am a part) has released the second in its Criminal Sock Investigations sock collection. This time, it’s the evil Luz Mojito. You can [...]

A Comfort Contest
I don’t know about where you are, but for the past few days, Mother Nature seems to have forgotten that we’re closer to summer than to winter. Yesterday, we didn’t even hit the 40s, and yes, there were snow flurries. At least we didn’t get the inches of snow some places in Minnesota got. It’s [...]

Mason*Dixon Snow
Well now, we finally had the first significant snow of the season. We got 7 inches, which pales in comparison to the amount of snow received in many areas south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Heh, heh. How’s that for a segue? In 2006, Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne, the talent behind Mason Dixon Knitting, published [...]

A Follower Shall I Be
For the most part, I tend to avoid trends. I still don’t have an iPhone, for example. OK, I do have a BlackBerry, but that’s different, and I did have the latest Apple launch marked on my calendar, and yes, I really want an iPad (despite its name). But when it comes to knitting, I’ve [...]

FOs, New Pattern
I’m Happy to Report FOs Have Been Sighted I am happy to report that I ended 2009 with a finished object. Sometimes it seems as though I never finish anything, though I love starting knitting projects. The FO was a pair of very nice, warm, and pretty socks. See. Aren’t they pretty? They’re my usual [...]
On Fibery Goals and Etch A Sketch (and yes, there’s a contest)
Here it is, December 31, 2009. The last day of the month, the last day of the year, and the last day of the first decade of the 2000s. I don’t know about you, but this day sure seems to have gotten here quickly. My mom always said that time goes faster as you get [...]

Victory Is Mine!
I am about to make a confession. More than once I have frogged a project because of a dropped stitch. You see, I found it difficult to frog back to the location of the dropped stitch. For some reason, I had problems keeping the stitches in place on my needles. I know, I know: pathetic. [...]

You Say To-may-to, I Say To-mah-to. But It’s the Same Thing . . . Right?
The other day, I was looking for something in my The Knitter’s Companion, by Vicki Square. This is a handy little guide to have around. As I looked through it, I came upon “Picking Up Stitches.” I was quite surprised when I read this: Most patterns will tell you to “pick up and knit” a [...]
