Teacosy Jezebel: May 2006
http://teacosyjezebel.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 04, 2006. Yay, I'm finally back into crafting mode! Pregnancy is going well, still with the headaches but feeling better and more positive about everything. And look:. The spawn - it lives! Was asking me about book recommendations - well, most of the ones I've been reading have just been to clear them off my bookshelf, but I enjoyed the following:. Quattrocento" by James McLean. A time travelling romance, that reminded me of "The Time Traveller's Wife". Baghdad Burning" by Riverbend. Curren...

Fruitcake Knits » FO: Hilde doily
http://fruitcakeknits.weblogs.us/archives/182
A sporadically updated blog that encompasses many creative activities. Apparently, I did not do a good job of pinning this out to be round. Yarn: #10 crochet cotton. Start date: 22 July ’05. Finish date: 24 July ’05. Size: about 10″ across. Slap me upside the head. On this doily, I didn’t even attempt to chart it along the way. Lace on every row and double yarnovers… I need to practice reading written patterns, don’t I. Yeah, definitely not large enough for a Fritty bed. Just the really nice ones.).

Fruitcake Knits » FO – Syvstjernen
http://fruitcakeknits.weblogs.us/archives/207
A sporadically updated blog that encompasses many creative activities. FO – Syvstjernen. Pattern – Syvstjernen. Start Date – 31 August. Finish date – 9 September. Yarn – #10 crochet thread. Needles – 2.5mm Addis. Finished size – about 25″ across. Here’s the doily on the kitchen table, straight off the needles…. Anyway, the center doesn’t look much different after blocking, but the final few rounds are definitely happier. Wow, blocking also created better lighting! I tried the tape-measure-across-doily tr...

Fruitcake Knits » Peacock’s Tail update
http://fruitcakeknits.weblogs.us/archives/459
A sporadically updated blog that encompasses many creative activities. Peacock’s Tail update. Gotta love doilies for portable knitting! The Peacock’s Tail doily, started last spring. Is coming along nicely. The expanding feather-and-fan pattern took a while to catch on to – it can be quite counter-intuitive to me. I’m at row 80 of 126, which in the circular knitting world translates into only about 40%. Do any of you have the same issue? January 17, 2014 @ 2:07 pm. 2 Comments ». How have you been? DART (...

Fruitcake Knits » So I’ve started sewing….
http://fruitcakeknits.weblogs.us/archives/481
A sporadically updated blog that encompasses many creative activities. So I’ve started sewing…. Lately I’ve ventured into the world of sewing. It’s been so nice to have a few things that are sized to fit ME – not some arbitrary “one size fits most” person. For clothing, all I’ve attempted so far has been skirts and sports bras, and I’m hooked. Dangerously enough, Golden D’Or Fabric Outlet. Is close to me, and has rooms and rooms of amazing fabrics to feel and smell and buy. Just take a look. And, the back.

Fruitcake Knits » summer re-emergence
http://fruitcakeknits.weblogs.us/archives/365
A sporadically updated blog that encompasses many creative activities. I suspect this blog is little more than an announcement that I am still alive, with an occasional “I finished something! 8221; post. So, yeah, I’m still alive, and I finished something else. It’s been over a month since I bound off, but it was not until this week that I blocked it. I had to scroll back. To find what exactly I’ve been knitting. Again, hoping not to turn it into another doilybag. July 4, 2008 @ 1:29 am. 1 Comment ».
