Yarn Report
Perhaps not surprisingly, we somehow managed to slip into a few yarn stores on our trip this past weekend. Imagine that. Shocking I know. Our first stop was the Cultured Purl in Erie, PA (what, it was on the way...more or less). It was the first time I had seen [...]
Strike a Pose
On our way home on Sunday, we stopped by Bully Hill, one of our favorite wineries. We've been going to Bully Hill for years...a fairly alarming number of years now that I think of it. We first went many moons ago when we were starry-eyed, fresh-faced college kids on our [...]
Guard Kitten
It seems it's more or less mandatory for knitters to have kittens. Or if not mandatory, at least strongly encouraged. I don't know if the knitting makes us more likely to like kittens (both require a certain tolerance for lint/fluff on your favorite black pants) or if the kittens make [...]
Jaunt
The timing wasn't quite all that we could have asked for (knitty release, work, school, pesky real life so gets in the way), but we went anyways. One of our favorite bands, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, was playing in Buffalo. It was part of Deco-Fest, a fundraiser to help restore the [...]
Inlay Knitalong
To celebrate Inlay, I'm having a little bit of a knitalong. I'm doing it over in the Silk Road Socks group. I realized I wanted to make these socks when I was doing the research for that book. I saw all the gorgeous floors peeking out from under the rugs [...]
Inlay
I really don't like waiting. I'm bad at it. It makes me a tiny bit crazy (hey, maybe if I reload this page over and over and over the update will happen faster...hasn't worked yet, but I should still try because you never know when it might work). I'm an [...]
Unapologetically Fluffy
This is, without doubt, the softest, fluffiest, most luxuriant bit of knitting confectionery I have ever had the pleasure to lay hands on. I can in no way convey how marvelous it is. My picture does not do it justice. I've picked it up and petted it a dozen times [...]
Yarn Store Recommendations
So...anyone out there have any thoughts on yarn stores that should not be missed in New York? I'm going to be in Buffalo and Corning in the next little while, and would love to know of any great stores in the area. I'm trying to be a clever kid and [...]
Book Yarn, Part IV
Ok, that's it. I've decided the universe is conspiring against me in an attempt to teach me patience. I'm going to take another approach. There is no big shiny thing I'm waiting to tell you. That was all in my head. I was having a hallucination. Really, carry on, nothing [...]
Book Yarn, Part III
Alrighty, the plan had been to put up an entirely different post today. But that can't happen until something else happens, so I must continue to wait. I promise it doesn't come easily. But I've been managing to get up a post every day, and I don't want to break [...]
