Adventures in Knitting: January 2008
http://teachingdiva.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
The ups and downs of knitting and life. Sunday, January 27, 2008. I am so excited! Links to this post. Saturday, January 26, 2008. Last night some friends got together for a knit night. It was really fun. Kristi and Rose- if you are reading this- we need to do that more often! I've also finally finished the baby blanket from Mason-Dixon Knitting. It's the Modern Baby Blanket. I used Lion Brand Cotton Ease. I think it took so long for me to make this because of all the garter stitch. The s...Since I got m...

Adventures in Knitting: Entrelac at last (and UPS stalking)

The ups and downs of knitting and life. Saturday, July 21, 2007. Entrelac at last (and UPS stalking). Originally uploaded by hedgie97. While I stalked the UPS man online I decided to finally try entrelac. I referenced a site online, The Yarnpath. Which has a very easy to follow entrelac tutorial. I had no idea what I was doing going into it but I feel like I've got it down now. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Currently on the needles. Pine Forest Baby Blanket.

Adventures in Knitting: Back For A New Year
http://teachingdiva.blogspot.com/2013/01/back-for-new-year.html
The ups and downs of knitting and life. Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Back For A New Year. It's pretty unbelievable that I haven't blogged in over a year. Life got away from me and I haven't taken the time to write it down. One of the biggest life changes that happened this past year is the birth of my daughter, Avery. I never thought I would have kids and here she is! I don't normally make New Year's resolutions but I definitely think that this year I will be documenting this baby adventure and the knitti...

Adventures in Knitting: Pine Forest Progress
http://teachingdiva.blogspot.com/2013/01/pine-forest-progress.html
The ups and downs of knitting and life. Sunday, January 6, 2013. I never realized how difficult it would be to knit with a baby. Oh sure. Just put the baby down for a nap and knit away. Let's assume for a moment that she will actually sleep. In that short amount of time I have to decide 1) Will I nap? 2) Will I work on the crazy amount of laundry that is now piling up in my laundry room? 3) How about reading a book? I mean I am a Language Arts teacher for goodness sakes! 4) Maybe a little knitting? Bubbl...

Adventures in Knitting: November 2010
http://teachingdiva.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
The ups and downs of knitting and life. Monday, November 22, 2010. Today is the first day of my week long break from teaching. Of course, this means I have a week to do nothing but knit. My Grapevine Lace Scarf is coming along but as with many of my projects I have put it on hold to work on other stuff. I finished a scarf called Openwork Scarf. The pattern is from Knitting to Go. The biggest thing I'm working on right now is the Presto Chango Sweater. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Entre...

Adventures in Knitting: June 2008
http://teachingdiva.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
The ups and downs of knitting and life. Wednesday, June 11, 2008. Today I spent about 3-4 hours of time working on knitting projects. Well, really only 1 project. I started on the Easy Raglan V-neck by Stefanie Japel back in October of last year. I haven't touched it since January (? Links to this post. Monday, June 9, 2008. I headed to Wal-Mart and picked all the colors that they had on hand. I came home and found in my stash (my husband would be so proud! A yarn that is 50% wool 50% alpaca. Perfect!

Adventures in Knitting: Presto! Chango! And I'm Finally Finished With This Baby Sweater
http://teachingdiva.blogspot.com/2011/06/presto-chango-and-im-finally-finished.html
The ups and downs of knitting and life. Tuesday, June 28, 2011. And I'm Finally Finished With This Baby Sweater. I started the Presto Chango baby sweater. I want to make one for myself. The coolest thing about this sweater is the front panel is removable. There isn't a need to worry about washing the whole sweater. Just unbutton the front panel and clean it up. You still have a super cute cardigan! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Currently on the needles. Jen Sebring's Photo...

Adventures in Knitting: Steelers Hat-DONE! Other projects too
http://teachingdiva.blogspot.com/2007/01/steelers-hat-done.html
The ups and downs of knitting and life. Thursday, January 4, 2007. I finished the Steelers hat last night. Although the pattern was simple enough, the directions I didn't care for. Common sense would have told me, "Do what you know when moving stitches to DPNs." Instead, I chose to follow the directions. This pattern told me to switch to DPNs and move all 100 stitches to 3 DPNs. They were packed! I should have continued the decreases on my circular needle and then moved them. Hindsight is always 20/20.

Adventures in Knitting: September 2010
http://teachingdiva.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
The ups and downs of knitting and life. Sunday, September 12, 2010. Well that "scarf" I'm working on is officially on hold. I'm probably going to rip it out and do something else with the yarn. Every time I look at it I think "Yeah it's definitely too wide for a scarf. Rose was right." It doesn't help when I showed my husband my progress he says, "Isn't that kind of wide for a scarf? Yesterday I was reading the Mason-Dixon Knitting. Blog and came across the Buncha Squares. Links to this post. Entrelac at...

Adventures in Knitting: Grrr!! (That's supposed to reference this is about the dogs)
http://teachingdiva.blogspot.com/2011/06/grrr-thats-supposed-to-reference-this.html
The ups and downs of knitting and life. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. That's supposed to reference this is about the dogs). Next week I leave for Paris and since the hubs is out of town I have to board Roxy and Collin for two days. The place I wanted to board them called today to tell me that the vet has no record of Roxy's vaccinations. What? So since Collin has itchy skin, needs new meds, and Roxy apparently needs vaccinations we all packed up into the car and spent a wonderful hour at the vet. Bubble stit...
