Knitting Starter Kit

How’s your holiday knitting coming along? Mine’s fine, but only because I don’t really have any specific holiday knitting goals. Sure, I’m doing holiday knitting, but pretty much as the mood strikes me. Earlier this week, a friend asked what would make a good “starter kit” for a new knitter, and I had a great time…

Catching Up On Podcasts And My Needles

I’m not entirely sure what direction this adventure will go in, and I’m always open to your feedback and suggestions. For now, I hope to use this blog to talk about the knitting I’ve been doing…

Daddy With Blueberry In Her BSJ

My Knitting Origin Story

computerI learned how to knit in June of 2012, a few weeks after my daughter (we’ll call her “Blueberry”) was born. Blueberry was born at 30 weeks, two-and-a-half months early. She was a tiny baby — two-and-a-half pounds — and as a result of her premature birth, she spent five weeks in the NICU before…
