Thank God It (Was) Friday…

Here’s a little belated eye-candy. I meant to post it last Friday (eye-candy Friday) but just couldn’t get to it…
A few shots of my new Kromski Sonata to help raise my spirits :-)
Last week was a tough one–nothing catastrophic, but I feel like communications are mixed up and things that could go wrong have gone [...]

Keeping Warm with (less than) One Skein

I love warm weather, and can’t wait for spring to arrive! But if it’s going to be cold, snowy, and icy, I’d at least like to cash in on some of winter’s beauty…instead, this was about the extent of D.C.’s ice-covered, sparkling wonderland:(My focus is a bit off, but you get the idea…)

Bohemian Mama: A Scarf for Bonnie

My mom is an artist. I don’t mean she dabbles in watercolors or quilting…She’s never dabbled in her life! She’s also quite Bohemian…but not BoBo (Bourgeois Bohemian). We’ve never had enough money to merit THAT unfortunate title, thank God. Nope. Just honest to goodness, old-fashioned Bohemian. She’s also beautiful. See?(Bonnie and Hannah at Cafe Italia, [...]

Pink

I’m not particularly girlish (and despise the word “girly”). But I’ve always loved pink. My favorite is the tender pink of ballet slippers. I can still smell the leather and remember the simple pleasure of sitting in the dusty dressing room with my friends, sewing the straps on our new shoes before practice… Then there’s [...]

Euroflax Linen: Am I the only one…

…who finds knitting with Euroflax Linen unpleasant?
I bought some in a flush of excitement shortly after Mason-Dixon Knittingcame out. Loved those hand towels! I couldn’t wait for the yarn to come so I could cast on…gift plans swirling about in my head.
Well…I got this far:
Yes, it’s pretty. But Louet’s Euroflax Linen felt harsh and [...]

Knit Your Bit: Knit a scarf for a WWII vet

I usually knit for family, myself, and–in the world of compassionate knitting–for animals. But there’s a new “charity” project called Knit Your Bit that really touched me.
The project is sponsored by the National WWII Museum. They’re collecting knitted scarves to distribute to WWII vets in veterans’ centers.

THIS is Love…or "What I Knitted on Christmas Vacation"

Remember this? (Last week’s Eye Candy Friday photo)…If you didn’t guess, it’s Tom Baker’s famous scarf from Doctor Who! Chris is a big fan of The Doctor, and asked me, one fine fall day, if I’d make him a copy of The Scarf. Being the adorable, wonderful husband he is, how could I refuse him? [...]

Eye Candy Friday: Pure Bliss

Just imagine…This is my favorite picture of ALL TIME…I don’t remember where I found the photo. I’ve been “carrying it around” with me for years, using it as wallpaper.
PS. This tiny little piece of paradise is in Sri Lanka.
