crookedneedles: My 2009 knitting year
http://crookedneedles.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-2009-knitting-year.html
Sunday, January 17, 2010. My 2009 knitting year. First, thank you for your comments following my last post - the posted comments as well as those of you who spoke with me directly. Knitters are a wonderful group of people, and I'm very glad to be among you all. Second, I've been unable to load any photos for a month and haven't been able to break through the "javascript:void(0)" message when I try. So I'll post the photos later to get this post up now. You know how you helped! The lace-T knit from Pima-T...

Sunday, January 22, 2012. Poppy in her Fisherdog sweater January 19, 2012. The photos are just for fun, and are not what I'm writing about today. Maverick in his lumberjack fleece. So I asked what right brain actually means and she said the right brain is the creative side; that I'm a creative thinker. We observed how our society rewards linear thinking, and she commented that in my attempts at perfection, I have continued to embrace that idea and attempt to be a linear thinker.

crookedneedles: " Takkin' and Makkin' "

Monday, May 31, 2010. Takkin' and Makkin' ". The teaching style was relaxed and unassuming, beginning with a brief biography of Elizabeth's and Martha's history, a circuit around the room about student hopes and expectations, fair isle patterns discussion, and we began knitting color study swatches. I was surprised to hear her say that a Shetlander will always choose natural colors (did you notice her wonderful cardigan, above? To really see the new range. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

crookedneedles: 2010 is 1/3 behind us!
http://crookedneedles.blogspot.com/2010/05/2010-is-13-behind-us.html
Sunday, May 2, 2010. 2010 is 1/3 behind us! We had a false spring start here in the Pacific Northwest - it was just beautiful in February and reminded me why I love living here. It looked like March or April, and even the plants thought so. And now here we are with temperatures in the 50's in May. we won't have the same berry crops as last year! A great trip to Tacoma for Madrona. Filled me with joy and optimism! I was one of the lucky students in Jean Wong. After two intense days in class, I was on a re...

Saturday, February 6, 2010. First, I've been on an accessories track. I tried the basket weave stitch design on a pair of scarves knit from Plymouth Yarn's Grande Baby Alpaca Hand-Dye; LOVE the yarn and the wonderful colors! They were elegant and appreciated gifts this year, as shown on my brother here - he's a green kind of guy. I loved how the pattern incorporates the decreases for the crown with such elegance - it is beautiful and ingenious! February 7, 2010 at 11:06 AM. More Yarn Than Time (Joni).

crookedneedles: October 2011
http://crookedneedles.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 21, 2011. For my most recent post, knitting was my primary focus. Since then, other interests have emerged, and thoughts about my personal goals and direction are under consideration. Needles are involved at times, but I'm not limiting myself as my creative spirit is expanding into new and, for me, surprising territories. Also that fall, a friend joined with me to make each of us a duct tape dress form. What an adventure! Besides the knitting, my handmade gifts include creating jewelry by...

crookedneedles: July 2010
http://crookedneedles.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Hard to believe it's July 6th. The Pollyanna in me is loving the lush greens everywhere and is happy that all the rain could mitigate the need for water rationing this summer. The cynic in me really would like to avoid the morning chill and the soggy grass. Still, living here in the Pacific Northwest is nothing if not unpredictable! The forecasters tell us summer weather will arrive after July 4th. Today, it looks possible! At the moment I have a pair of socks for George in progres...
