Good morning!!! Stopping by before I head to the feed mill. I HAVE to start my other Christmas projects soon. My DS reminded me this AM, only 10 days, yikes! I'm making club covers for my dad and purses for my mom and MIL. I think I may need to get going on them??!!! If I have time left I...

I suffer from color change envy. I just can't get it. I knit to tightly. I need to loosen up. I have had that problem too, I had to make an effort to push my knitting on the needle and make sure that the carry yarn is not tight on the back of the knitting. Also don't change the hand that is...

Thanks. I love the way it turned out. The pattern was in Pursenalities by Eva Wiechmann. I've knitted three purses out of this book and I like her general ideas but after three patterns I don't like some of the design. I think there are better ways to get the same end product. I plan and...

I haven't been around in awhile. I've been busy knitting and taking care of the chickens. I got my first egg last week!! And we ate our first chicken last week too. I also finished quite a bit of knitting, I am going to try and post the purse I just made:

It's been awhile since I checked in. I finished a dish cloth that I love. and am still working on my daughters bolero sweater in cotton, thank God the squirt doesn't grow very fast!! I was thinking about making Christmas gifts since my family is so hard to shop for(Dad suggests giving him the...

Quote: I would call that a 'design feature'. After a certain point in your knitting it is no longer a mistake but a 'design feature'

I knit European, which is the yarn in my left hand and my right needle 'picking' it up. The other way is also called throwing which is the yarn in your right hand and throwing it over the needle for each stitch. I vary my cast on by project but quick and easy I go with long tail and work the...

Hey all, I am new to BYC and to chickens in general, however, I have been knitting for ten years (time flies when your ankle deep in yarn). I would love to join this little sub group. Right now I need to finish up a bolero in a summer weight cotton for my daughter, it's great because it has...
