I kept plugging away (which, wasn’t too hard, given the fact that I pulled a muscle in my neck and wasn’t doing much else around the house anyway) and finally cranked-out a pair of fingerless mitts that I am happy with. This was my fourth attempt at making these things on a knitting loom. My […]

I’ve been experimenting with different ideas for fingerless mitts, and I finally got them looking like I envisioned. I can knock out one mitt per night of TV, which means I may actually be able to make a nice little pile of them for Christmas gifts. I just need to remember next time I want […]

I let myself off the hook this year, big time. In fact, there were only four handmade gifts total. First were the neckwarmers I knit for the boys. Eamonn’s been asking for a scarf lately – last week was so chilly! – so I looked to my go-to pattern and scaled it down for smaller […]

It was down to the wire, considering I was still weaving in yarn ends on a pile of fingerless mitts at 10:00 last night, but done is done, no matter how close you cut it, I say! Today’s agenda includes […]

While I’ve been cranking out fingerless mitts on my little blue knifty knitter, certain other people have been using the rest of the set as crowns, collars, swords, and chainsaw […]

Neil spent the weekend at Philcon, and while he was there, his hotel room was going largely unused. The boys and I felt obligated not to let that hotel money go to waste, of course, so we took one for the team, packed ourselves up, and drove ninety minutes south on Friday after school. Ninety […]

I’m trying once again to embrace the handmade Christmas idea. I won’t go entirely handmade, but I want there to be an element of it in everyone’s gift. I’ve always felt this way, but it’s been easier recently since I’ve expanded my crafty skills somewhat. There are only so many clay baubles one can give […]

Shortly after my first successful pair of loom-knit fingerless mitts, visions of fingerless Christmas gifts started dancing in my head. But first, I wanted to get a couple more practice pairs made, so that I could experiment with another stitch or two. I made these two pairs for the boys. The blue 24-peg Knifty Knitter […]
