Leave it to my blog readers to put my problems with Size 0 needles in perspective. Who knew there were size 000 or 0000 needles? And who knew there were people that actually knit with these sickingly small needles? I tell you, the lengths we knitters go…
And now, a mini-FO. Just after I [...]

Size 0?!?

I never really understood the idea of size 0. Doesn’t zero mean nothing? So how can someone wear a size nothing pant? And don’t get me started about size 0 needles. I casted on for the Simply Lovely Lace socks from the Spring 06 Interweave using size 0 double points last night. I [...]

I can’t sew. I knew this and yet I still choose a knitting project that involved me having to sew. Perhaps I was in denial�??I must have thought the bag would sew itself once the knitting was done.

Awww yeah, you gotta love my argyle mini-dress:
After 42 hours of blocking the vest is ready for pictures…but not for the public. Turns out, after all my mistakes, fears, miscalculations and close-to-frogging moments, I was right. I should have started over when I first got worried. You know the funny thing? [...]

I can’t believe I made it this far but see what I am working on now:
Steeks!
For a while there I thought this vest was going to a pre-mature grave. Here is the story…
So my extra yarn came on Wednesday and that night I picked up the vest and got to [...]
"It’s okay, I can accept rejection…I’ve got my knitting"
