So close to being done

"Tee for Two" in Blueberry Fields

I have not had near enough time to knit recently. I planned on getting more done last week, but when the sweet corn is ready, it’s ready. I like to put up lots of sweet corn, so I took two days off of everything else and did nothing [...]

Once upon a Thursday, there was a grumpy old man and happy knitters...

So, Tom is a little mad about having to tear back almost three inches on his sweater [...]

New favorite bind off:

Good job, Tara and Haley!

Haley, the fingerless gloves and Shipshe, ebay

Getting down to the wire and Haley has three little fingers to finish, ends to weave in and washing/blocking to do. Saturday is judging. She has several days this week that she’ll be working with her horse, Luke, getting him ready to show so she needs to have it finished [...]

Update: Cleopatra

Tara is progressing on Cleopatra and I have no doubt now that she’ll have it done in time for fair July 10!! When did she cast on? A mere seven days ago? She’s binding off for the underarm and back shaping right now. Go Tara!! Oh, and lest I forget that there is another daughter [...]
