My husband came to me yesterday and pointed out that the very first pair of socks that I made for him are wearing out on the sole. It doesn’t really come as a surprise to me, because he wears them all the time. Our office/ playroom/ family room area is on a...

Well, the hat and the scarf are now completed in my rainbow-colored winter accessories set… time to move on to the finger-less mitts! I am once again returning to a favorite pattern for this part of the set. I am doing the Hedgerow Mitts, but with two slight...

Some time ago, while browsing the Ravelry message boards, I came across a post where other knitters were sharing all of the lovely things that they were doing with their leftover bits of sock yarn. It’s probably not a surprise that I have quite the stash of it...

I’m not quite done with the Rainbow Scarf yet, but I couldn’t resist getting started on the matching hat. I wanted to keep the hat simple, so I went back to the pattern I used for my sister-in-law’s black hat. I won’t be doing the fancy stitch...

Sometime back in August I began a pair of socks meant to be ready for Halloween. I gave the slightest of peeks at the project in a previous post. I’m still working on those socks. I guess now you could say I’m ahead of schedule for next year. 😛 I just...

These gloves are a long time in the making. They are part of a project for my sister-in-law that turned out to be far more difficult than I originally expected. I had planned to have the entire set of hat, scarf, and gloves done before cold weather hit…....

Renae’s Hat ~ Part Three I have posted twice before on my progress with Renae’s Hat. The current version I am working on is the fourth. I ended up needing to pull it apart and start completely over when I realized it was growing to overly large...

I was making quick progress on Renae’s hat… then I hit the part where I switched to a decorative brim. I will be doing an embossed scarf as part of the set and I wanted to mimic the embossed stitch on the brim of the hat and eventually on the cuff of the...

I’m on a quest to finish all of my unfinished projects that have been sleeping for some time. I have too many! These socks have been in progress since sometime in 2010. I bought the pattern and started them as a gift for someone and had finished the first sock...
