More Mittens from Vogue

August 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I picked up the newest copy of Vogue Knitting yesterday. Now, normally this isn’t something I would do (vogue +northern redneck just aren’t two concepts you’d normally find together) , but the cover caught my eye. Mittens!!

Or Knit-A-Longs

This time, rather than surfing the internet to find just the right KAL [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]
