My cowl is making progress. Hopefully I will get plenty of knitting done this weekend on the way to and from New Jersey!

So yesterday was Ben’s day at class, and I had a whole night to myself– it’s amazing how much I get done in one night because I feel like I get nothing done the rest of the week. This week I got out my ink and pastels and created three lovely ladies that I sort [...]

I took this picture of the cowl yesterday, but just got it in my e-mail. This is the problem with using your cell phone to take all of your pictures-

This hat is AMAZING!! I want to make it for ME! It’s called Foliage. You can read the designer’s blog here! It might knit up quickly enough to do it before Christmas, but I could also make it for Emily or Becca instead of fancy schmancy mittens. Sigh- It’s just so gorgeous! It looks like [...]
