So many projects, so little time...
After (sadly) being too busy to participate in Rochelle’s Sew for Victory this past Spring so I had to redeem myself when I discovered that Tasha had launched a Knit for Victory this autumn/winter. Not to mention – all I seem to be doing these days is knitting and working on the new house. WhatContinue reading
I am totally stoked today to start sharing with you several new knitting patterns that recently came in my possession. Out of the blue, I got a message on Ravelry from Anne (Agenta17) who found me through my Stitchcraft pattern freebie posts. She said he has tons of Stitchcraft magazines and offered up her duplicatesContinue reading
Today’s free knitting pattern comes once again from my Weldon’s Fair Isles for the Family which has been requested by Anna from Knivshults Anna. Anna is a knitter/sewer/crocheter and teacher from the Swedish countryside. Doesn’t that just sound lovely? She only started blogged in January, but already she has some wonderful posts about her plansContinue reading
Hey Ladies. Today I have the last ladies’ fair isle jumper for you from Weldon’s booklet called Fair Isles for the Family. In the booklet there are two patterns for a guy, 1 pair of gloves, and a few patterns for kids. Unless someone asks for one of these types of patterns in the comments,Continue reading
I hope you all had a cozy, nice thanksgiving this year. I meant to get this post up on Friday but went to traverse Black Friday with my mom and two sisters. Truthfully, it really wasn’t that bad out where we went (Oak Brook, IL). A few of the stores we went to had long checkoutContinue reading
Guess who got her very own scanner this weekend?! That’s right…. I am no longer paying to have my scans made but can now do them myself, anytime, for FREE! (I did pay for the scanner of course, but I’m thinking it will pay for itself in a short amount of time.) Today’s pattern doesn’tContinue reading
It feels so wrong to be starting to think about fall sewing & knitting plans right now. Chicago summer has been pretty chilly on the whole this year. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve LOVED it. But I also feel like I haven’t quite spent my summer doing “summery” things. As fall is approaching, I’mContinue reading
This idea for a blog post has been ruminating in my brain for quite some time – not to mention coming up as a frequent topic when chatting with other bloggers. It’s time to peel back the layers and have an honest chat about what we’re so afraid of. Why are there certain things we’reContinue reading
The Bridge Jumper – or the ‘everything that could go wrong – went wrong’ jumper. That is a much more apt title for my jumper – although from these pics I (hopefully) doubt you’d even notice. Here’s the details before I get rolling with this post: Yarn Used: Red background: Reggia (red – sport weight), discontinuedContinue reading
It’s been quite a long time since I’ve shown my current knitting project with you guys! But that doesn’t mean I’ve been knitting up a storm (during my lunch breaks and daily commute). I bought the Knit Vintage book earlier this year and have been lusting over several of the patterns in it. But this WallisContinue reading
