Well I finally found something to worthy of my time. I’m doing the ubiquitous branching out, in the purple alpaca/wool from nashua. its coming out fairly nicely, so far. Lace knitting though is NOT tv knitting or even SNB knitting. I’ve found this out the hard way. For every pattern repeat I end up tinking [...]

Now I want you to realize that there is no end to how dorky I really am. Fortunately my husband finds this to be an endearing trait. Or he’d better since he married me knowing that I found sitting at home researching something or knitting to generally be far more fun than going out all [...]
