Are you ready for the next installment in my adventures knitting the Farmer's Market Cardigan ? Sure you are! Last week, I was so high on the whole cutting-my-knitting-experience that I blithely typed...
I did it. I cut my knitting, and the sweater survived, and no one fainted, and in the end, it wasn't as big a deal as I thought it would be. (Two cups of coffee, max. No chocolate required, not even...
As I write this, a 6.1 aftershock has just hit Haiti. In light of the suffering of Haiti's people, to some it may seem trite to be discussing knitting, especially knitting we are doing for ourselves...
The story so far: Waist decreases from hem to waist have been successfully navigated in my Farmer's Market Cardi . This week, I managed to make it halfway up the armholes! Here is where things start...

I went off to Rhinebeck, New York, last weekend, to immerse myself in the fiber world at the huge annual NYS Sheep & Wool Festival. Did I have fun? Does a knitter have dpns under her sofa cushions...
The leaves aren't just falling outside, they're dumping themselves in huge thick carpets on my lawn. I've started wearing a coat when I walk the dog, scuffing my waterproof boots through the...
One UFO Down: 17 Left To Go I've had a pair of socks sitting in my knitting basket for, oh, I think it's been over a year now. Way back when, I wanted to make a pair of socks to be for Nicholas...
