There comes a time (and hopefully not more than one time!) in every lace project when you just have to throw up your hands and curse your luck and rip back to your lifeline. It happened to me last week.
I am getting painfully close to the end of the Peacock Feathers shawl and perhaps [...]

The end of the curse
Posted in Finished projects, Knitting, tagged love curse, novelty yarn, stocking cap on January 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »
In a gesture of love and gratitude for the gift of my engagement ring, I finally felt the curse lift and started work on a stocking cap for The Baron. I gave it to him for Christmas in the midst of a mini-hiatus from blogging, but since it’s my first knitted gift to [...]
It could be colder . . .

though probably not in my office where the heat is off in spite of the rainy weather and where I’ve been instructed not to wear my fleece jacket because it looks unprofessional. So here I sit, shivering, in the warmest work-wear I could come up with. Oh, yes, I could get a mini-heater, but that [...]
Knit through it
Posted in Knitting, Lace Knitting, On the Needles, tagged Peacock Feathers on January 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
In life, crappy things happen and people let you down. At times like these I have a recourse: just knit through it.
The wedding knitting is on the back burner — only happy thoughts should be knit into something like that — and so I’m cranking away on Peacock Feathers which I’m going to give [...]
That sound you hear is squealing tires . . .

. . . as I slam on the breaks for the Forest Path Stole.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Last night my two knitting protégés, Miss V and my friend R, joined me at a local cafe for some knitting. They’d never met each other but they’re both awesome and I had a fantastic time. [...]
Down the Path
Posted in Knitting, Lace Knitting, wedding, tagged entrelac, Forest Path Stole on January 14, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Not much knitting happened this weekend, but lots of business and preparation helped get me exited for my next project. Since the guest room, home to all of my knitting supplies, was taken over by holiday present-wrapping, there was a significant cleanup and organization task to be undertaken. Once I got everything put away/recycled/tidied up, [...]
New York, New Yarn

One of the things that I love most about The Baron is that when he’s in the right mood he can make fun out of anything. Most especially this is true of birthdays, holidays and other gift-giving occasions, because he insists that giving yourself presents is a critical component of holiday happiness. In [...]
RIP, Little Miss Law

I know it’s been a while since I’ve blogged, but in that time lots has been happening out in the bloggity-bloggity world . . . it’s like going away to school and coming home to find that your kid-sister is a teenager and your cat got run over . . . a very mixed bag.
Congrats [...]
Some pattern possibilities
Posted in Knitting, Lace Knitting, wedding on January 9, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’m nervous about the yarn but after living with it for a month now I’m just itching to pick a pattern and cast on for my wedding shawl.
After what seems like endless Raveling, I’m down to a few choices:
Design something myself. If I had a year, this is the way I would go. [...]
