My Prize Arrived!

By Priscilla, on October 22nd, 2008%

My Newbie Lace Knitter prize arrived this week!  It’s the DVD “Knitting Lace with Meg Swansen”.  I haven’t had time to watch it yet, but I did look at the charts.  I really like the neck-scarf version of a Faroese shawl, and I think that will probably be my first project from the DVD.

Still Trying

By Priscilla, on August 20th, 2008%

This summer has turned out to be a lot crazier than I had expected (and I know to expect crazy summers), but I am still hopeful I can finish something before the end of the season.  I ended up frogging both my Montego Bay scarf and my Opera scarf, but I sat down last weekend and . . . → Read More: Still Trying Read more »

I love the color of the Tofutsies.  . . . → Read More: I’m Off to a Good Start Read more »

Plunging In

By Priscilla, on June 18th, 2008%

I’ve been reading the blog since I saw it listed on the 2008 KAL list, but I have been hesitating about jumping in.  However, with the 20th right around the corner, I decided I couldn’t resist joining.  Summer is my busiest time of the year at work, so I may be crazy thinking I can knit . . . → Read More: Plunging In Read more »
