As promised, I have another finished object today. This is definitely a record for me. My knitting mojo seemed to be lacking all summer, but I’m happy to report that it has returned in time for the Christmas knitting marathon. This isn’t a Christmas gift, but a present for my soon to be born niece [...]

Yikes, it’s been quite a while since I’ve blogged. I think this is partly due to the fact that I’ve finally realized how long it’s been since I finished knitting anything.

I can’t believe that it’s May – this year has gone by so fast.
I’ve been busy working on the new purse for my mother in law, who will be coming to visit next weekend. I finished knitting the body yesterday afternoon, when I had off of work because I had to work [...]
