My First Knitted Toy

Hello, knitters! More and more, I’m realizing that I’m becoming a toy knitter. At least that’s the direction a lot of my current knitting is going, and I’m not objecting. This is largely due to the great patterns that I keep discovering from one of my favorite knitting designers, Susan B. Anderson. In this edition…

2014 Knitting Goals

Hello, knitting friends! It’s great to see you again this week. I’ve been extremely busy at my day job this week, so my knitting has taken a bit of a back seat. I did take a little bit of time to gather some ideas for 2014 knitting goals, and I’ll talk about them later in…

My First Real Adult Sock

Do I Have To Knit Two Socks?

As I write this post, it’s a cold, rainy, dreary day in central North Carolina. Blueberry’s upstairs in her bed, trying not to drift asleep while she plays with her socks and her stuffed animals. I just brewed up a nice hot cup of peppermint tea. It’s a good day to snuggle up inside, preferably…

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.

The Baby Surprise Jacket

Reversing The Elephant And Mouse

Catching Up On Podcasts And My Needles

Hello, again, my knitting friends! The last week has simply flown by, and I ended up doing a surprising amount of knitting. With United States Thanksgiving coming up this week, it’s going to be a short week at the office. We’re visiting family for Thanksgiving, but I’m not yet sure if I’ll be doing the…

Elephant To Mouse: Elephant

Gifts: Toys And Hats

It’s good to be back home a bit after spending a week away on the fishing trip a few weeks ago. I’ve received a ton of comments on the Knitted Fishcloth Dishcloth, both virtually and in real life, and I appreciate all of it. I think it’s a funny story, and it’s nice to see…
