double pointed needle knitting
double pointed needle knitting SO this is what I spent the better part of my day doing. I am in my rythym now, even though I am taking heaps of breaks because I have to do stuff IRL *blech*. This is the beginning of the first sleeve of my sweater. I am not a bit [...]
ACountryMint Sweater progress 11 inches
SO here is the AcountryMint Sweater at eleven inches. I took the little blue streak you see forming at the top and made it back into the mint color. I didn’t like the design in my head anymore, so I learned how to change it without taking out 6 rows of work. I did this [...]

If I could open a shop
It would be a yarn shop. I hate that there are none close to me in my area. I mean, my goodness…to get to Woolbearers in Mount Holly takes about an hour. Uh, No. I will not be running that far up the highway to see wool and other yarns up close. Walmart is less [...]
