First Foray into Quilting

Laura — Fri, 04 Sep 2015 06:48:49 +0000

Almost a year ago, I decided I needed some cute accent pillows for my bed and I had been eyeing this book called, Pretty Little Pillows (Pretty Little Series). All the pillows are really cute and look like they take minimal time. I’ve sewed plenty of pillows in the past, so these looked a little … Continue reading First Foray into Quilting →

Five Tips for Knitting a Swatch

Laura — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 10:15:34 +0000

I have compiled a list of things I have learned from knitting swatches over the years. In knitwear, swatches are imperative! In knitting toys or blankets, it isn’t as imperative unless you are knitting to certain dimension requirements. I’m going to discuss why swatches are so important for knitting garments and what they tell you … Continue reading Five Tips for Knitting a Swatch →

Knitting Revival

Laura — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 22:09:41 +0000

Its been years since I have posted here, but that does not mean I haven’t been knitting. As a matter of fact, I have been knitting quite a bit off and on over the years and as I have been knitting, my knowledge has increased tremendously about it. For example, always swatch and swatch in … Continue reading Knitting Revival →

Dusting off the Cobwebs

Laura — Fri, 01 May 2009 05:57:07 +0000

So, a lot of knitting has been going on since I post last. I’ve knit a bunch of things that are on my future project list…so I’ve conquered quite a bit in the past year. Currently, I’ve got the following on my needles: Rambling Rows using Hazel Knits Artisan Sock Yarn (just because I am … Continue reading Dusting off the Cobwebs →

Must Take Pictures!

Laura — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:52:30 +0000

This is a little note to self that I need to take pictures of Snow White, Wheel on Fire and The Gray Flannel Purse (that is not gray, nor flannel). I have been furiously knitting…not necessarily because of the past holiday, but just because. Knitting is a great stress reliever…and I’ve got lots of stress … Continue reading Must Take Pictures! →

Because I Don’t Have Enough UFO’s

Laura — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 23:05:19 +0000

I have ventured into starting two new projects at once. One of them, I am almost finished with. Promptly after finishing the Emma Jacket aka most hellacious pattern to follow ever…I started Snow White. Firstly, I love this pattern, despite the mountains of 2X2 rib. It is cleverly designed and the pattern gets an A+ … Continue reading Because I Don’t Have Enough UFO’s →

The Neverending Emma Jacket and the Gray Flannel Purse

Laura — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 18:39:37 +0000

OK, this jacket is taking forever! This might be because I had to take a break from it for a few days…I was at the SWE conference (Society of Women Engineers), so the little time I had to knit on the plane to and from Nashville, TN…I picked a small project that I could knit … Continue reading The Neverending Emma Jacket and the Gray Flannel Purse →

Emma Jacket

Laura — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 03:57:06 +0000

The Emma Jacket is a pattern from KnitPicks that I’ve been inspired to knit. There are a few reasons I chose this project. It uses more grafting, so I get more practice at a rather newly learned technique for me and it uses steeks, which is an entirely new area for me to explore. Steeks … Continue reading Emma Jacket →

Knitting Update

Laura — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 18:43:11 +0000

I finally finished Mikey’s Bob Dobbs Sweater (with a skull pattern instead of Bob). I will be posting a picture as soon as it is washed and dried…which should not be such a feat since I can stick it in a machine! I finished my Spiral Doily from yarnover.net.

Bob Dobbs Vest Update

Laura — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 05:17:14 +0000

So, here is what it is looking like right now, pre-skull motif. Its all knitted up, all stitches grafted in the appropriate places. When Mikey tried it on…it looked as though the neck was very awkward. It came up very high on his neck. I don’t quite get why because I followed the pattern and … Continue reading Bob Dobbs Vest Update →

Bob Dobbs Vest (Skull Version)

Laura — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 20:32:32 +0000

So, I just casted on for the Bob Dobbs Vest from the book, DomiKNITrix. The only difference is the vest I’m knitting Mikey will have a small skull instead of Bob Dobbs or the large skull chart. Mikey didn’t want a large grinning skull, but a tad more conservative skull on the front, if there … Continue reading Bob Dobbs Vest (Skull Version) →

Knitting, eh?

Laura — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 00:32:37 +0000

That’s right. I fear that my new love for knitting may overcome my blog….so, a knit blog should be the solution. This blog will document my wearables as well as the not so wearables aka the knitting disasters!
