Great Towering Textiles

What makes a week good for you? In this good week, I got up pretty early every day so I could do one thing I WANTED to do for myself. You k...

Classes begin soon, so blogging gets dumped in favor of knitting for the recreation time. I stopped in to do three things, so pictures, has...

It could be worth mentioning that I am not a Luddite . I may look like one, but blogging should certainly fly in the face of that notion. T...

The 80's are returning with a vengeance. I'll step out of the fray of discussions on that subject, but I do have some evidence of f...

Sent this off to my aunt and uncle. I enjoyed noting the difference between my grandmother's work and mine. I crochet quickly, and you ...

Great LONG weekend: Finished up the afghan my grandmother had been making for my youngest aunt and her husband. (My mother had passed alon...

I started this habit a few years ago. Rather than leave all the tallies to the change in calendar year, I decided a Summer to Summer Knitti...

I've limited my time at the computer this summer, and so my blogging (such as it ever is) is on a little hiatus. I'm knitting, anyw...

This sat for months awaiting blocking. Had to wait for other projects to be done so I could have a clear and guilt-free cutting table. Conjo...

I thought the yarn was red, in the packaging, in the late evening, in the shop. In the light of day, this yarn is clearly pink. I have a soc...

I've been infected. Spitting Yarn pondered giving the credit or blame to the season. I stayed up late (and I got home LATE) casting on 4...

Thought about adding that last night: P.S. I am just a big dork. Naive. Pollyanna. Big old donkey girl scout. (a phrase that is not my own...

I don't have enough time to catch up on all the reading, but, oh, my, Magknits. My heart goes out to the designers and site developers o...

These are my February challenge socks. I finished them in April. It's chilly enough to wear them. It could be worse. We didn't ha...
