I don’t talk about knitting often enough over here. I also don’t knit often enough. I’m working on that. It is one of my time-management goals right now. Put down the laptop and KNIT SOMETHING. Like the sleeves on my February Lady Sweater.
While reading knitting blogs last week, I discovered that Kay & Ann [...]
I just wanted to take a moment to gush about how fabulous Seattle is, from the city to the weather to the people. I never want to leave. Mike is being asked at least once an hour by Jason or I if we can move here forever and ever.
Photos coming soon, if I can stand [...]
The Knitting Olympics will be upon us soon, so I need to choose a project to knit! Something that will be a challenge to knit within 17 days, that will push me - but not something that will push me to the point of giving up. We don’t want that. Since I’ll be traveling during [...]
Even though I haven’t been picking up the knitting needles often lately (definitely not as often as I would like), I always look for knitting shops whenever I visit a new city. My trip to California allowed me to visit 3 great shops, and I’ll be sharing details of each one as I photograph [...]
I am finding all sorts of great sites on this list of 50 most Influential Female Bloggers - but I have to confess that I squealed out loud (and twittered my excitement) when I saw that the Yarn Harlot, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, is listed as number 15! FIFTEEN!!! That is so awesome!
I still remember commenting to [...]
So I’m not using the recommended yarn for my Einstein Coat, but I am getting gauge — so it shouldn’t be a problem, right? WRONG.
While waiting for things to upload to the server, I took the bottom portion and held it up to me to see the length; the top portion of the coat [...]
I feel like I’ve been constantly busy, and yet I have nothing to say. Weird, huh? I blame it all on Twitter. Twitter has eaten my brain. If I can cram it all into 140 characters, do I really have that much to say?
Last week I had several meetings that I [...]
Whew! What a week it has been! Mike & I started Weight Watchers on Monday. We are doing the Online version because I know we would end up skipping meetings, whenever I’ve done the meetings they talked about things on the site that I had already read, and because Elaine is doing [...]
Many people out there are trying to claim they died in a knitting accident. I wonder though … do they even know how to knit? Would they know a knit from a purl, or what garter stitch even is? Show me some lace that you’ve knit, or a cable or two, and [...]
I took this photo of Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, aka The Yarn Harlot right after she wrote “To Christine: Smart ass.” in my book. I kept laughing about that for the rest of the night. I simply adore her.
The rumors are true, I did manage to interview Stephanie briefly for the next PointySticks podcast. [...]
When my Mom was staying with us while there house was being worked on, she commented on how I wasn’t knitting. Crazy - not like there is a shortage of yarn in my house! - but I just didn’t seem to have it in me. But I packed yarn and needles when we [...]
I just have to share the love - great books at awesome prices!

First off, I have to say it. My t-shirt was a big hit. I was stopped by people several times throughout the day about it. Matter of fact, if I gave you a business card and you ended up here looking for the “I can go bat-shit crazy, or I can knit. [...]
I realized that it was simply insane to think I could knit something in a week to wear to MDSW. So crazy, that instead I decided to order two t-shirts from the Pointy Sticks Spreadshirt shop - a “I could go bat-shit crazy, or I could knit. Your choice.” t-shirt and a “Life [...]
