fayaway knits: Unintentional Failure
http://fayawayknits.blogspot.com/2010/12/unintentional-failure.html
Monday, December 20, 2010. O·ver·sight [oh-ver-sahyt] – noun. 1 An unintentional failure to notice or do something. That pretty much sums up this project. I just finished blocking a Christmas stocking for my mother in law, and I was feeling pretty smug that I was almost done with it. But, I really should have given more thought to the whole "knit stocking" thing. Given how popular knit stockings are, it never once occurred to me that knitting is stretchy.

fayaway knits: DIY Stitch Markers
http://fayawayknits.blogspot.com/2010/08/diy-stitch-markers.html
Friday, August 6, 2010. I've been coveting a set of pretty beaded stitch markers for at least a year now, and last weekend I finally decided to do something about it. Being a do-it-yourself-er (and exceedingly cheap), I consulted some rudimentary instructions I found via Google, picked up some beads on sale at Michael's, and fashioned a handful of my own stitch markers. Despite not knowing the first thing about beading, I think they turned out alright. I especially love. Project just to try them out.

fayaway knits: Estate Sale Bounty
http://fayawayknits.blogspot.com/2010/12/estate-sale-bounty.html
Wednesday, December 15, 2010. One early Saturday morning in November, I got a call from my mom asking if I wanted her to purchase a bunch of knitting supplies she had just found at an estate sale. There were some of those "joined needles," a case of "regular needles," and a bunch of pattern booklets all for $20.00. I was half-asleep at the time, but, of course, I said "sure! I'm sure glad I didn't pass it up because I found a few interesting treasures. Sally, The Fearless Knitter. View my complete profile.

fayaway knits: I'm not dead, really!
http://fayawayknits.blogspot.com/2010/12/im-not-dead-really.html
Sunday, December 12, 2010. I'm not dead, really! Sorry for the prolonged silence around here. There's a really good reason for it: I didn't knit a stitch for months. I just fell into a uninspired funk and stopped knitting. Seriously, I didn't even buy any yarn! It was that bad, folks. But, the weather started to change, and well, I've got a little blog fodder again. Over the Thanksgiving break, I started a Skinny Empire t-shirt from the incredibly awesome Custom Knits. Before my next post. Really. I live...

fayaway knits: Back at It
http://fayawayknits.blogspot.com/2010/08/back-at-it.html
Tuesday, August 3, 2010. So, I've holding out on ya'll. I've been over my knitting funk for about a week now, and I've started plugging away on Swish Steeples again. While it's not a very popular pattern on Ravelry, the pattern is very well written, and it's been smooth sailing so far. I've always knit raglan sweaters, and this marks my first bottom-up sweater. I'm a little anxious to see how the sleeves will fit into the armhole shaping, but so far it's going very well. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Why yarn is a great souvenir - JLK
http://mockeymonker.livejournal.com/38010.html
One chick with several sticks. Why yarn is a great souvenir. Nov 18th, 2010 at 4:29 AM. I was in Bern yesterday, which was lovely and wonderful. It also gave me the chance to do some yarn shopping. Thanks to Knit Maps, I knew there was a yarn store on one of the main walking streets in Bern's old town. It didn't take too much to find it since the street we happened to be wandering down was the one it was on. But it was also easy to spot the store under the arcade. It was a very cute, and well ordered sma...

One chick with several sticks. Nov 10th, 2010 at 5:56 PM. The way I look at travel has changed since I started knitting. I used to insist on driving most of the time, now I am OK allowing someone else to drive so I can sit and knit. It has also changed how I go about with my packing. Anyone who has traveled with me knows I am not a light packer by any means. I try, but at some point my need to make sure EVERY possible contingency is covered works against me. She thought I might get by with just the socks...
