More Mittens from Vogue
August 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment
I picked up the newest copy of Vogue Knitting yesterday.

Patterns are Stash Too!
August 25, 2008 | 5 Comments
I am a pattern collector. I’ve downloaded every free pattern on the internet at least 3 times. I’ve classified them, filed them, drooled over them, and promised all of them that they’d be next. All of them. Yeah, you heard that right! Because I have 75 hours every day that I can devote to knitting. [...]

(pick me, pick me, hand waving wildly from [...]

Entrelac or Not?
August 18, 2008 | 1 Comment
Entrelac eh? Hey, being Northern Michigan gal gives me the right to do the Canook thing once in awhile.
Anyway, I ran across this really cool blog, called Men Who Knit. These guys have got it going on! On their blog the other day, I read about this “new technique” which looked like entrelac, although he [...]

Attention All Sockknitters….
August 16, 2008 | 7 Comments
OK. I need some encouragement here. Sock knitting is all the rage, has been for quite awhile. Not one to be left behind, I went to the LYS and found some really cool sock yarn ( I won’t divulge the brand name - it’s a pretty sure bet that this failure didn’t have anything to do [...]
