Sea Wolf and Worsted
The weather in Arizona is finally, finally, finally turning. Mornings are chilly, evenings are cool, and daytime highs are below 90º. This is the time of year when Sea Wolf‘s music becomes my soundtrack and I start craving sweaters knit in worsted-weight yarns. (if you live somewhere where October means highs in the 60ºs or…

On a Roll
With the blanket done, I dove into another for-charity project: a Holden Shawlette. I started the shawl back at the beginning of August, but after zipping through the body, set it aside to work on The Blanket. Blanket out of the way, I picked it back up, and it zipped along. Even with the setback…

Behold The Blanket
Happy Thursday, people. WordPress tells me that yesterday’s post was my 400th. I feel like that is the sort of milestone that should have been celebrated with trumpets and fanfare. But the world didn’t end because I only fussed about a UFO, so stay with me and we’ll pull out the party hats for 500.…

The Screams All Sound the Same
One day, my computer and all the good pictures loaded on it will be in the same place as I am when the urge to blog strikes. Unfortunately, that day is not today. Nor is today the day I will finish the Holden Shawlette I’ve recently picked back up. Last night, while rammed into the…

When I first started blogging, it seemed that the only knit bloggers who featured pictures taken by someone else were the knit bloggers lucky enough to have knitting friends. Everyone…

Not Quite as Planned
The movie blanket keeps coming, slowly, but I am also trying to work on other things. You know, for those occasional times when you don’t want to carry two utility-size skeins’ worth of work on the light rail. One of the projects I have been attempting to get started up for transit knitting is my…

The Movie Blanket
Summer is wearing thin. The euphoria of rediscovering its freedom is gone, the wonder of the length of the days is gone. There haven’t been any monsoons. Swimming–why bother? This is the time where we retreat inside, bury ourselves in distractions. I have found myself watching a lot of movies. Summer movies. To match the…

Red Reveal
Where have I been? Not on the blog very often. But I promised you a FO post a while back, and here it is! The FO is my iteration of Leah’s Lovely Cardigan from More Last-Minute Knitted Gifts. It is emphatically not sweater weather in Phoenix, so pictures had to wait until we were up…
