One of Lil’ Aaron’s slippers is done. Here’s an idea of scale:
I didn’t intend on making ‘patriotic’ slippers, but I’ve had these yarns in my stash for a long time so I thought I’d use ‘em up (sadly, no new yarn purchases). Funnily enough, the blue yarn really stained my index finger (I knit Continental).

What a wonderful meeting we had yesterday! It started out with just Helen and me as everyone else had plans. As we were farting around with our knitting, I noticed a gal at the next table eyeing our goods so we invited her to join us. Her name is Jody and she’d just gone to [...]
Our friend Aaron (different than the one I knit the burp/dishcloths for) drove down from Oregon to help with our boat Tess. To thank him, I offered to knit something. I had a feeling he wanted some slippers cuz he’d been leaving his DNA (in the form of drool) all over mine ever since he [...]
As I mentioned in a previous post, I had finished an MD washcloth — the ‘advanced’ one — and was concerned about its ‘ruffliness’. Several people let me know they had the same issue but laying it flat to dry helped. Just knowing I didn’t do anything ‘wrong’ is good ‘nuf for me. And it’d [...]
I stumbled across a yarn shop website today whilst looking for 47″ circulars to make Kat Bordhi’s Moebius Cowl. I’ve been wanting a cowl for awhile and just love the look of the Moebius so I started surfing for the humongo needles. If you’ve never been there, Little Knits, based in Seattle, has some terrific [...]
The recent hubbub about Britney Spears’ new ‘do got me remembering how, a few years back, my niece suddenly turned on Britney — she was her biggest fan one day and hated her the next. When asked why the change of heart, she said “Because she mooned someone.” Of course I nodded wisely, as [...]
I tried the MD washcloth several months ago and totally screwed up the eyelets. Ripped it out and never looked back. Over Christmas, I bought a big ball of Peaches n’ Cream to knit up some washclothes for a friend. I finally got around to it the other night and thought I’d give that bugger [...]
What a great knitting weekend! First of all, Hubbo came home after being gone for a whole month! But on top of that, I finished my twelfth and last Fun Fur had for Kate’s chemo kids. As good as it feels to do something good for others, I’m glad I’m done with that little project!
It [...]
Have you signed up for Secret Pal 10 yet? The deadline is the end of the month so hurry up! This Q&A is for my Secret Pal, whoever s/he may be:
1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like? I’m not particularly picky though obviously I looooooooooove quality [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building. The rat that died in a wall in our office did not, in fact, die in a wall. Yesterday the stench was really getting bad so I investigated more thoroughly. I finally realized it was centralized around my desk, not any wall. I frantically pulled out every [...]
