Recent Knitting Projects

I haven’t posted much about my knitting lately, but that doesn’t mean the needles haven’t been out. In fact I’ve sort of developed an addiction that is often triggered simply by sitting in front of the television. I can’t watch TV any more without my knitting in my hands. I guess that’s a lot better than not being able to watch TV without a two pound bag of M&Ms in my hands, right? [Click title to read post ...]

Confessions of a Lazy Knitter

I confess. I’m the world’s laziest knitter. No, seriously. When I learn to do something new, I start scouting around for easier, faster methods and will finally settle on the one that gets the job done fastest and with the least amount of work or brain-power. [Click title to read post ...]

Tag (Sale), You’re It

Carol, Grandma Travis, Dot, and Florence

It’s been a busy few days here on the hill.  Yesterday and the day before, I had a visitor whom I haven’t seen since 1985; my cousin Joey.  It was so wonderful to see him again, and we spent several hours pouring over old photos and the memories [Click title to read post ...]

Daylilies, Knitting, and Stuff

Life has been, well…life. That should pretty much cover the range of ups and downs, shouldn’t it? I’m sure by now you’re all sick of hearing about my books (and if you’re not, you can find them on the Writing Page). So I thought I’d post a general update today, and go back to a couple of the more pleasant topics I’ve enjoyed blogging about in the past. [Click title to read post ...]

KnitWit: Sockin’ Around the Christmas Tree

Well, Christmas is over, so I can now post photos of everyone’s tootsie-toasters online. I’ve actually already got them in my Ravelry account, but the family doesn’t visit that site, so no chance of them having seen them there. As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve taken an interest (in my usual obsessive over the top way) in learning to knit socks. [Click title to read post ...]

Knit Wit: Sock Education

Socks.

I love socks.  Not as much as my daughter, who would probably buy a pair a day if she had the opportunity, but I do love socks.  I also consider them one of the most useful things to knit.  I mean, you can only find so many scarves useful before they start just taking [Click title to read post ...]

Creative Overload: Knitting and NaNo!

I woke with a head full of fuzz this morning.  I want to be working on my novel, but thought I would write a blog post first, to flush out the circuits a bit.

Knit-Wit Update

The past few days have been filled with creative fun.  I finished that second scarf, to start with, on [Click title to read post ...]

Knit Wit: My First Scarf

I’m so proud of me.

My first actual knitting project is finished.  Yes, it’s just a simple scarf, but I quite like the way it turned out, especially considering that I’ve never knitted anything before.  It has a few bumps and bubbles, of course, but I don’t think it turned out half badly.  Neither [Click title to read post ...]

Knit-Wit

As if I needed something else to do with my time, I’m learning how to knit.

Now, this is rather odd for me.  I’m not very domestic at all.  Though I love my daylilies, my physical problems over the past year have kept me from getting down and dirty in the gardens.  I have a [Click title to read post ...]
