Waiting

Hubby’s on a business trip at the moment and I’m having a hard time with it since he’s gone for longer than usual. “I’ll miss Abba!” J told me a few times this morning. “Don’t worry, I’ve got all of the days planned,” NM said. Sprocket has been barking at reflections and ice melting and [...]

Replacement Hat

You know, it’s really hard to photograph a hat you’re wearing. But somehow, I managed to do it even without the flash. This is a hat I made from a pattern on Ravelry called Spring Beret. I had made two as gifts for the daughters of friends of ours. Unfortunately, my friend accidentally got one [...]

How Long Has It Been?

Funny but I am worrying that it’s been three days since my last post so here I am writing something so I can feel better about keeping up the blog. I am still working on uploading vacation photos to Flickr. That’s been taking a while only because I’ve had a few projects to take care [...]

Ruffles Scarf

ruffles Originally uploaded by Phisch For my sister-in-law, EH, another Christmas gift. I don’t know if she remembers, but when they visited for Thanksgiving, I was browsing Ravelry and she saw this pattern. “Oh, you can make me that!” she said and I said nothing. I didn’t mark the pattern, thinking I could easy find [...]

Star-crossed beret

Star-Crossed Beret Originally uploaded by Phisch Gifted to my friend, YT, who is a hat girl as her parents put it. Err…I forgot to include washing instructions for this. YT, hand wash it if you need to and when it’s drying, put it around a plate so it can keep its shape, ok? The pattern [...]

Stripey Scarf and Cinchy Hat

088- Originally uploaded by Phisch These were from an issue of Knitscene (winter 2007?). I’ve been wanting an excuse to make the hat and, for good measure, I decided to do the scarf as well. I love the way the hat fits. I think it’s jaunty and jaunty is all good. Gifted to my SIL, [...]

Lacey Scarf

085- Originally uploaded by Phisch This is Knitty.com‘s Branching Out pattern. I knit it in Elsbeth Lavold 50/50 wool alpaca yarn and I can’t remember the name of it, but the color is Arctic Night and very pretty. I used a small needle, size 6 when it calls for 8 because I used a thinner [...]

Birthday Cowl

Birthday Cowl Originally uploaded by Phisch For my friend, KT, a cowl. I finished it while we were still driving out of Texas. Either I’m fast or Texas is THAT big. I think it’s the latter.

Cabled Beanie

Cabled Beanie Originally uploaded by Phisch For my friend, AM at church. Unfortunately, I had to hand it to someone to give to her. She was so sweet and asked me to make a hat for her and I immediately thought of this yarn from my stash, Lion Brand Cotton Ease in purple. The pattern [...]

Noooo!

*shakes fists at l___d”* Why did you outbid me for Interweave Knits Fall 2007? I was the only bidder and everyone was having at it over at the other auction for a different copy. Sigh. Maybe I should get a subscription. If anyone out there would be interested in a trade for that magazine, please, [...]
