http://purlypurly.blogspot.com/2013/06/what-i-love-june-10-2013_10.html

Monday, June 10, 2013. What I Love - June 10, 2013. What I Love - June 10, 2013 - The Blog Edition, Round 1. There are so many blogs that I continually discover and now follow. My previous way to do this was create a link on my blog, and visit my blog, and check them out individually. Not anymore - I now am on Bloglovin'. Also, the picklist at the top is awesome. You can sort by category also - so if you really do not want to see gorgeous food pics from smitten kitchen, you can avoid it - if you can.

http://purlypurly.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 27, 2012. Well, February is almost gone (except for that blessed extra day we get this year!

In the meantime, I finally am blogging this month - so much has happened. Let's start with January goals from my last post:. Before Jan 30th, complete my last Christmas present, the Fiddleheads:.

PurlyPurly: Ripping, Ripping, Ripping

http://purlypurly.blogspot.com/2013/09/ripping-ripping-ripping.html

Monday, September 2, 2013. Ripping, Ripping, Ripping. Knitting patterns are always written for the perfect knitter - one who reads and understands the instructions perfectly, goes fast enough to finish the knit, but slow enough to never screw up. The perfect knitter is someone who I pretend to be when I first start the pattern of choice - I review carefully other comments from Ravelry. Users, and make sure I don't make the same mistakes. I am prepared to start. After feeling bad about not blogging for th...

PurlyPurly: October 2011

http://purlypurly.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 23, 2011. Good Sunday morning to you! After some stressful swatching at 11 pm last night for some Christmas presents, I made the conscious decision to put down the needles, and go to bed. I promised myself to get up and finish something - I was determined to block out my Vine Yoke Cardigan. Soaked, blocking mats, measurements and pins. So, I did:. 8-8:30 am - last 3 rows and cast off of the final button band. 8:30 - 8:50 - she's having a bath. 8:50-9:20 - she is on the mats. And they are ...

http://purlypurly.blogspot.com/2013/06/secret-no-longer-dahlia-sproutlette.html

Monday, June 3, 2013. Secret No Longer - Dahlia Sproutlette. Introducing.Baby O's Dahlia Sproutlette. I have a darling knitting friend, who just had a beautiful baby girl (complete with Spock ears! Obviously, she needed a knitted item - mom likes bold colours for babies, none of this pastel or natural baby wear, so, I went to my stash and came up with my Dahlia Madelinetosh Sock yarn purchased at Churchmouse Yarns several years ago. Luckily, Tanis Fiber Arts Sproutlette Dress. Fun way to add a button.

http://purlypurly.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 29, 2011. Finally, a finished object! With a serious case of startitis, I have several projects at various stages. I technically cast on for this 5 months ago, but was distracted by other new and shiny projects. This shawl is 6 of 11 that I need to knit this year, and the details are:. Size: Medium (although I'd hate to see what small looked like, as this barely fits around the shoulders). Finished Measurements: 38" between wing tips, x 17.5" tall. From Gourmet Crafter Alexa Ludeman. This ...

PurlyPurly: March 2011

http://purlypurly.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 28, 2011. These are crocuses that are in my yard right now.so pretty with such promise of a new start. This past week, she was blocked, and turned into a lusciously soft purple hug around the neck. It definitely has a longer point to cast off edge, but looks great on my two lovely ladies who modelled it for me. J immediately went to the kerchief style, and N immediately covered her head with it - shows the difference in cultures. Had to get a pic of both. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. I had a ...

This one I am keeping for knitting and reading. Finally, I have finished a book within the alloted 3 weeks that that library gives you. I used to be able to ferociuosly read through books one after the other, but now, I only seem to find time to read before bed. For a while I was able to carry it all inside me, like a big bouquet of p...
