Hello all! Its been a while. Im sure I could come up with a list of reasons as to why Ive been MIA for the last several months, but who has the time?? Nevertheless, I am b...
Ive said it before, and it is very true. I am a slow knitter. Not because I cant help it, but simply because I fall into the rhythm and relaxation that causes me to move at a ca...
I am so happy to hear that my little knitted gifts made it across the pond to my brother and sister in law in Barcelona. They were a little late for Christmas, but at least they made it. ...
As soon as I started knitting the Delancey, I fell in love with the pattern. It flies off my needles and is difficult to put down. Plus, watching the striping take form is so exciting for...
I have been so excited to get started with the Delancey Cardigan KAL. Its my first and quite a challenging first, but the group of people participating, and the moderator, Allyson over at&...
Ive made the comment before that I love ordering yarn online because it gives my a reason (other than damn bills and such) to check the mailbox. I get all excited each day, as if Im Ralphie fro...
I know I have a lot of knitting to get through. I have to finish Brandens borken rib cardigan (which is taking me so ridiculously long!) as well as begin swatching for the Delancey KAL coming u...
In this new feature to the blog, I will be posting brief book reviews on books that can be loosely (in some cases, extremely) linked to knitting. Why not, right? Everyone enjoys a good re...
First of all, I love these guys! So classy and sleek...if sleek can even describe music. Every time I listen to their music, I feel transported to some European beach resort where Im sitt...
I am so excited to start my first knit along on February 6th! Allyson over at the Sweatshop of Love blog is hosting the KAL with the Delancey Cardigan from Alexis Winslow. Love this sweat...
A couple years ago I admired Ralph Laurens team USA beanie that Lindsey Vonn wore during one of her downhill races. Loved the design, didnt love the price. I wondered if there was a patte...
I was so excited to find out that I scored my first giveaway prize! Its funny too because I had no idea that there was a giveaway going on on this particular blog. I never usually win stu...
Im just taking a small moment to show my progress on Brandens Broken Rib Cardigan. I know its taking time, but soon it will all come together quite nicely!It would even make a sharp vest as wel...
Even though there havent been many posts and photos of current WIPs or FOs, they do exist! I just finished two projects and sent them overseas to my brother and sister-in-law in Spain. Th...
So far, the new year has been full of new endeavors. I am starting some classes to get an endorsement on my teaching license to teach the Gifted and Talented program. Im super excited abo...
A few posts ago, I talked about the difficulty with locating your row in a long and convoluted pattern. I had mentioned that I found that highlighting the row helped me to spot it quickly. &nbs...
I really can only speak for myself here, but something tells me Im not alone. I have a yarn problem. I covet it, obsess over it, crave it, and buy it. Even if I dont need it or have...
For the Christmas holiday, my husband Branden, my mom, dad, and I drove up to Logan, Utah to visit my aunt and uncle. My brother Tyler and my sister in law Jessica moved to Barcelona in Februar...
I would love to have eyes that can look across a row of stitches on a knitting chart and memorize them, but like many of you, I can not. I am also unable to look at a massive chart and immediat...
This week has been extremely busy. Its the last week before Christmas Break as well as Parent/Teacher Conference week. 30 conferences in one week. Tiring. However, I have been...
Now, I have been told that my ambitious and type A personality could lead to the tendency to start many projects and actually finish only a few. Yes this tends to happen, however, since I start...
Last weekend, I knitted up a pair of Fetching mitts for my best friend, Jaclyn for her birthday. I absolutely love the pattern because it is super fast and very fancy. Perfect for a gift!...
Im usually not one to purchase things from the Internet, partly because I am and instant gratification sort of person, but yarn is so different. First of all, the yarn stores in my area only ha...

Now, lets say for a minute that I didnt like brownies, cheesecake, or pumpkin pie. Outrageous, I know. But, if that were the case, these delectable del ights would change all tha...
Last weekend, my mom and I took a drive out to St. George (about 2 hours east of Las Vegas) to check out some local shops and to just get away for a bit. One of the shops we came across was cal...
Today was such a lazy, cold, cloudy, Sunday. Just the way I like a Sunday. Nothing to hurry to or for and plenty of time to spend with my mister, Branden. Also, the perfect opportun...
As a new(ish) knitter, I am all too familiar with jumping the gun on a new in-the-round pattern. I find something adorable to knit, snatch up some sumptuous fiber, and find that I do not have t...
Who would dare presume that a wholesome, innocent knitter would have the cunning and know-how to spy on an enemys military? Not many. That is why "Old Mom Rinker" of Philadelphia,...
