This is for the other Julie McC. (yes, I used to be one too), who is having trouble with a cable increase that I had trouble with recently. They tell you to knit into the front and back of a stitch and then find the vertical strand below it and knit into that. Wha….? I… Continue reading Funny Cable Increase — For Julie

All my posts about things-about-which-I-am-passionate-other-than-writing: you’ll find posts here on parenting, knitting, cooking, frugality, the environment, gardening and whatever else catches my eye this week.
Me 'n' The Yarn Harlot in Philly!
So I finally got to see Stephanie Pearl-McPhee! You have to understand I’ve been reading this woman’s blog for over two years and have been trying to get to see her for almost as long. Each time she has come to the area it has been a more-than-an-hour’s drive away and something has come up… Continue reading Me 'n' The Yarn Harlot in Philly!

So I was working away on… Continue reading Starting Projects

I don’t remember choosing a nom de guerre or entering my shoe size (which is not to say I didn’t… Continue reading Fave Pic So Far and a Worry

The yarn and I are ready.
Sock Wars III

I’m A Designer!
Hey! I got myself set up at Ravelry as a designer. So far I’ve only uploaded my Cyber Chart (the chart for my cyberman head, that graces G’s sweater), but I have a sock pattern and another, fairisley Doctor Who chart to go up, oh and a hat pattern. I smell another project coming on… Continue reading I’m A Designer!
