  • Books, knitting and the man I love

  • The Stash-part 2

    So I made a HUGE mistake a few weeks ago. Shortly after I bought the lace weight yarn for my FPS, I asked my husband to rein me in, put his foot down, tell me no, make me ask first, not buy any more yarn for the stash. I…

  • Men and "The Stash"

    Okay, I must admit I am a stash hoarder now. I never stashed yarn(threads yes, as I crocheted lace prior to learning to knit it) but never yarn. I thought it was dumb. And- then I began this love affair with fiber. REAL …

  • Well, I was about ready to give up on lace 100 % last night. I had to frog out 2 repeats on my lace scarf that started this love affair with lace. Got one repeat re-done, and then had to frog it all again! URGH!!!!!!!!!!…

  • Well, I made it past Tier 4. I am about to start Tier 5. And I about freaked when I realized that I messed up all the way back on Tier 1, with the very first right side triangle. I thought that I would slog through this …

  • Tada!
