OMG So yesterday I was angrily knitting away when I felt a sickening downward movement in my right hand. What happened? My metal circular size 2 BROKE!!!! I was angry *I won’t go into why* and I was stitching like a mad person. I got through 3 and a half rows and then it snapped. [...]

mint sweater changes
Here we are about 7 inches up the torso and I have to do a color change. Why? Because I’m cool like that. I misplaces my brand new mother-gifted cable needle *smacks head* but hope to find it soon. I don’t think I will be doing any more cables in this sweater, but it’s still [...]
Mint Sweater going well
I am thinking I will add in the Country Blue to this because I want to break up the green. I also stopped the cables, because I didn’t want cables all across my chest. This has prompted me to make a different pattern that may or may not be something I like. Right now I [...]
My First Attempt at Cable Knitting
So this is my first attempt at cable knitting. I have the hang of it, but I dare say that if I finish this up, there will be a heap of cables and no regular knitting. The cable needle you see in this picture is a modified piece of plastic. It used to be one [...]
Scarf Whimsy
Well I am working on another scarf. It is shaping up to be a beauty, although I might frog it. Why? Because I don’t know if I want to finish it only to have it here not selling. It is two tone purple with my own design interpretation of stitches that I liked. Take a [...]
Scrunching has been complete
I just got finished knitting this scarf while watching a new revelation to my eyes on the DIY Network: Knitty Gritty. I was taken by the show. Today they were doing kitschy Christmas projects. Excited? You bet. I just set my DVR for that and the Martha Stewart Craft show which came on right [...]
Blanket Therapy finished!
Last night I finished Blanket Therapy. I can’t show you the picture until I give the present away, but it’s gorgeous. Anyone on Ravelry can see it, though, as I have posted it there. Being a closed community that I know this person is not a member of, I thought it fitting to share there [...]
Lemon Lime Sherbet
I finished knitting this hat sometime last night. It is based on the basic structure of this pattern, but I modified it and the stitches to an extent. When I make another hat like this, I am going to make it longer to cover more of my ears. I love the feel of it. I [...]
A video to preface my video
I am still going to do a Work With Me Wednesday video. It will come later on today. Right now, I want to share with you a video of a knitter. I favorited this a while back on YouTube. Every avid knitter will identify with this, I think.

Knitting Gauge Experiment
I was curious as to how much yarn crochet uses versus knitting. A girl from Ravelry said that crochet uses more. I needed to know just how much more.
I made a loop in my yarn and used size 8 knitting and crochet needles and did single stitch rows till I got to the loop. [...]
