It’s about time for me to decide what I’m going to make for dinner tonight, and as is typical, what am I thinking about instead? Knitting. I suppose it’s a delay tactic to think of something fun rather than something mundane. Whatever.
Vine Lace Cardigan (Ravelry) is progressing at a fast clip. [...]

When all else fails, start another project…. Vine Lace Cardigan (from Sweaterbabe.com) in Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Bulky, Sable colorway.
Originally, I used my $30 Knit Picks gift certificate from Christmas for this project, and ordered Cadena in Thyme colorway for it. To my dismay, Cadena was all in hanks instead of the skeins Wool of [...]

Don’t you hate it when this happens? There you are, with a project in mind, and don’t you think the yarn could at least cooperate? Ugh!
This happened while trying to do a test swatch with a previously unused skein of Lamb’s Pride Bulky, and this what I get when I tried to pull [...]

Now past the half-way point for Shawl Neck Cardigan I am pleased that I have gotten this far along. Honestly, I thought I was going to frog it as I did much earlier on back in January. I haven’t been enjoying the process here, not at all. I get kind of turned-off [...]

I don’t know what came over me, but last night I remembered a sweater I’d knit about 20 years ago and that I no longer have. It wasn’t an old favorite sweater, but it was a could-have-been-a-fave. It wasn’t an old fave because the way it turned out was disappointing; it never looked like the [...]

I popped into French Bakery in Kirkland today for a quick bite to eat and a marocchino (an espresso drink), which Ms. Adventure’s in Italy so aptly called “Heaven in a Cup”. My son YM started preschool this week, and although I’ll miss him, it is a relief to me that he will be [...]

Or, at least in my home she is.
We’ve been back from South Korea for two and a half weeks now and we’ve hit the ground running with an almost-5-year old and a 13-month old in the house. Life is both good and hectic for us these days. Our son YM has discovered that [...]

Monday, we got the call of all calls that every adoptive parent waits for: we were told we could go to Korea to get MR. It seemed the waiting had become so never-ending that we’d kind of gone numb, and just as when we adopted YM four years ago, the call came at a time [...]

Maybe it’s a bit extreme to say that an hot water bottle is my best friend, especially when that really could also be said of my knitting bag, but when a hot water bottle has a soft cozy on it such as mine, it is the best thing in the world to have. I knitted [...]
