September already?

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

So, we’ve been trying to get the house ready for sale and it’s taking longer than we planned. Hurting my lower back hasn’t helped. I hurt it a little over a week ago sealing the grout on the new bathroom floor (guess I twisted the wrong way), and it feels like it’s getting worse instead [...]

Spun…

Here’s the fine black shetland (chain plied). I should have photographed it on a lighter background. I don’t feel like photographing it again because I’ve got a lot of other things goin’ on. So it’ll have to do. When I knit it into something I will take a better photo – promise.

This is Mint Choc [...]

I’m a tryin’…

The finished Prayer Shawl for my sister (I know it’s a crummy picture – the shawl is layed out on my lumpy bed, and I’ve already shipped it to her, so I can’t take another picture):

Magpie and what’s on the needles…

Monday, April 30, 2007

At a local vintage shop, Magpie, I found…
…some vintage knitting booklets:

and this book:

I actually already have this book with the newer cover:

but the older one reminds me of my mom, since that’s the one she had. I think my father gave her book away when she past away. She died almost 14 years ago of [...]

Fluffy mail, dyed yarn…

Saturday, March 17, 2007

Last week I received this in the mail:

I ordered this yarn to knit Ardessie (a sweater that I wanted to knit last year, but didn’t):

I’m sure Ardessie will take me a while to finish. I’ll post a picture of the swatch when it’s finished.
The following are pictures of yarn I dyed last week:
