Knitting Diva: February 2011
http://knitdragon.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
The Perfect Day - watching a movie or listening to a book, sipping tea, and KNITTING! Monday, February 21, 2011. Present for a Friend. One of my oldest and dearest friend's birthday is tomorrow. This weekend I was walking through the Stitches West market looking for something she would like. She doesn't do any fiber arts, so I was looking at all the other type booths. I had passed the Buttons! Nancy Weber helped be pick out these buttons. And I made this. Sunday, February 20, 2011. She was nasty, rude an...

Knit and Bead Times: August 2009
http://knitandbeadtimes.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Knit and Bead Times. Adventures in travel, knitting, beading, and retirement. Monday, August 17, 2009. New York's Bead District. Dateline: New York, 7/16/09 - 7/28/09. I didn't actually buy anything at M&J Trimming. But I was fascinated by browsing there. They have some beads, and an incredible inventory of sequins, ribbons, rhinestones, etc. I imagine that this store is frequented by fashion designers and people creating costumes for Broadway shows. Which is a fantastic store for beadweavers like us....

Knitting Diva: I tried something new!
http://knitdragon.blogspot.com/2011/07/i-tried-something-new.html
The Perfect Day - watching a movie or listening to a book, sipping tea, and KNITTING! Thursday, July 14, 2011. I tried something new! One of the dance weekends David and I go to is Balance the Bay in San Francisco. This year's theme is polka-dots. It was easy for me to find something to wear, but I looked and looked for something for David and couldn't even find a vest at Goodwill that I could decorate. So I took today off, was all alone in the house and did nothing but work on the vest. OK this was the ...

Knitting Diva: Measuring Your Knitting
http://knitdragon.blogspot.com/2012/01/measuring-your-knitting.html
The Perfect Day - watching a movie or listening to a book, sipping tea, and KNITTING! Saturday, January 07, 2012. Over the years I've found, one of the hardest things to do well is measure your knitted fabric. It wants to curl, it can be stretched, you have to hold the knitting down and somehow manipulate a measuring tape or ruler all while the knitting is still on the needles. Look Mom, no hands! The ruler at the top of the mat is the length I need. The ruler on the knitting is just there to keep th...

Knitting Diva: September 2010
http://knitdragon.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
The Perfect Day - watching a movie or listening to a book, sipping tea, and KNITTING! Tuesday, September 07, 2010. My first day of work at ProStores was August 23rd and it was also the first day of the remodel. But as always before you can remodel, you must start with this (this picture is from Google maps that is why there is an orange A on the lawn LOL). And then do this. This WAS the living room. This was the dining room and 2-car garage. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Knitting Diva: Bag of Bows
http://knitdragon.blogspot.com/2011/12/bag-of-bows.html
The Perfect Day - watching a movie or listening to a book, sipping tea, and KNITTING! Tuesday, December 27, 2011. So what do you do with all your ribbon and bows for wrapping gifts? Years ago I bought a wreath storage case. It has all my ribbon and bows and package decorations for every season. Here it is:. Well this year I learned that it is not only a bow bag, it's a prewrapped Christmas package. Fri Dec 30, 06:35:00 PM 2011. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Knitting Diva: They're So Cute When They're Little
http://knitdragon.blogspot.com/2011/12/there-so-cute-when-theyre-little.html
The Perfect Day - watching a movie or listening to a book, sipping tea, and KNITTING! Wednesday, December 28, 2011. They're So Cute When They're Little. For Christmas I bought myself a serger. Two days before Christmas, Handcock Fabric had it marked down from $329.99 to $179.99 with a 60 day return policy and a coupon for $20 off my next purchase of $25. Note the purple knobs. LOL. I watched some Youtube videos so I had a general idea how to thread a serger and how to use it. View my complete profile.

Knit and Bead Times: April 2009
http://knitandbeadtimes.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Knit and Bead Times. Adventures in travel, knitting, beading, and retirement. Sunday, April 12, 2009. What Happens in Vegas. Dateline: Las Vegas, NV, 3/25/09 - 3/30/09. Whoever invented that slogan for Las Vegas probably didn't have beading in mind. But beading was the reason that Jim and I drove to Las Vegas. It was the second annual BeadAway, organized by Brea Bead Works. The drive was an all-day event, about 10 hours including a stop for lunch in Bakersfield. We ate at the 24th Street Cafe,. After Cin...
