Hello ladies and gentlemen of blogland. I have returned. I promised pictures of Ishbel in the last couple of posts, but I’ve come to an unfortunate snag in the pattern, I’m sure of my own misunderstanding and miscounting and I need to unravel her a bit....

Hello. I discovered some knitting therapy in the form of Ishbel. We’re in love, even though I had to tear back most of the project just as I got to the lace because my numbers were off. Why oh why don’t I count sooner? Blind knitting confidence. She is...

It’s been an interesting couple of weeks. The last week of January we, and many areas around us, were hit with an ice storm that knocked out the power and downed many, many trees. The University of Arkansas was actually closed Tuesday through Friday of that...

I was eating some leftover shrimp cocktail today, and it occurred to me that the socks I started last night have the same color theme. This is my third ongoing project. I started it because I need a movie theater plain stockinette project. It’s some of the first...

I don’t have much to say, other than I am in love with this sweater. It’s the first I’ve made that I truly love. We battled a bit. I knit that button band 4 times yesterday, the yoke three times during the process, and had to improvise the numbers on...

I have a problem. A sock yarn problem. I just can’t get enough of it. When will I ever make all these pairs?! Why do I love it so much? Maybe I’m having an existential knitting crisis. I love the promise of sock yarn. When I’m just itching to buy...

My xmas knitting has gone more smoothly than I anticipated. Don’t hate me if you’re scrambling and stressing. I’m only knitting small things for immediate family members because a). I’m kinda selfish about knitting and b). I don’t want...
