Here is a quick picture parade of my latest FO, Ysolda Teague's Rose Red. Oh, and I did some more holiday yarn shopping at Wool & Co. in Geneva, IL. BUT! I was good and only got yarn for patterns in my Ravelry queue. Totally unrelated: I am ...

I wanted something quick to knit, and it turns out this was incredibly quick to knit. I made it while sitting at work watching The Sarah Jane Adventures. The last time I made a Calorimetry it took two nights and turned out gigantic. So, this ti...

I began documenting some of the things that I have made and given away of the past few years. Mostly all have become presents for my sister and her growing family. Others have stayed around my house for my own use. I thought I would share wi...

Knitting Injury

nobody@vox.com(MommaGoose) — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 18:27:14 -0700
