knitscapade: March 2010
http://knitscapade.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. The end in sight. Friday, March 26, 2010. Favorite Photo Friday # 4. I know this is the first one I've participated in. I'll try to do better. Nothing says spring to me like the March Bank at Winterthur. I took this shot in 2008. Sunday, March 21, 2010. I've always been a girl who needs a deadline to get things done. Best way to make sure the house gets clean? Plan a party. Best way to finish a dining room table? Plan a dinner party for 22! Sanded, ad nauseum. The end in sight.

knitscapade: June 2010

Monday, June 14, 2010. Updating an old mirror. Long time no post! We've been doing a lot of house updates, including painting our foyer. After debating color for more than a year, the room has finally gone from Pale Avocado to Wet Concrete. But more on that later. The painting made me rethink this old mirror, which I bought at an estate sale for my first college apartment (gulp! This thing is a massive sandwich of glass, backing board etc. so I just masked off the mirror with painter's tape.

knitscapade: January 2010
http://knitscapade.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 7, 2010. I bought some beautiful Malabrigo chunky yarn in "Pearl" with visions of big lovely cables in my head. I've knit about 6 inches of two cable scarves and am about to frog for the second time. I think this yarn is just so darn lovely that it wants nothing more than a k1p1 rib so it can just show off its fluffy semi-solid gloriousness. I think I need to stop forcing cables and save them for a more boring yarn that needs a pick me up. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Passion from a Stone.

knitscapade: August 2009
http://knitscapade.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 10, 2009. This spring / summer I've finally taken to knitting some garments for myself (as opposed to for everyone else's babies / kids). It's pretty rewarding making things for yourself. I just might get hooked on this. A ombre version of the Mason Dixon fair isle masterpiece, Liberty, in ivory and oatmeal colored Cascade 220. I'm starting with a throw pillow. If all goes well, I'll make the blanket too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm a married workaholic; knitting is my zen.

knitscapade: February 2010
http://knitscapade.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 14, 2010. I know this is supposed to be a blog about my knitting, and occasionally my sewing. But, sometimes a girl ventures into another medium and doesn't want to start a new blog. So, this is an update on our dining room table. Medium: cherry and walnut. Craft: woodworking. One impediment was the fact that the wood was too big to plane in our shop. So, on MLK day, my brother and transported the lumber to a professional's shop to get it ready for the next steps. I thought I'd post a li...

Sunday, September 27, 2009. Warning - mouse eats knitted dishcloth. A few weeks ago, we stayed at my parents cabin for the weekend. As a thank you, I made my mom a towel and coordinating dishcloth. It took some convincing to get her to actually use them because she was afraid she'd mess them up. I swore they were durable and meant to be used. Little did I know that the local mouse population had other ideas. Apparently a little guy chewed a hole through the dishcloth! Monday, September 7, 2009. This is w...

knitscapade: December 2009
http://knitscapade.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 30, 2009. This Christmas knitting was a long time coming. I knitted the green Sean Stocking for my dear husband last Christmas, but I didn't finish my own until about a month ago. In the interim, he had become somewhat attached to the huge 44 inch long stocking and I had to convince him to let me felt them both. Clearly, they are much improved by the felting, and I'm quite pleased. That said, they made our Christmas this year! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
