On the Hook – Food Rations Rug
Ok. So it’s not exactly knitting. Or crocheting for that matter. A blog about such lovely pasttimes as visiting and botany should never find itself speaking about hooking, but here I am doing just that (and no, it’s not what … Continue reading
On the Needles – Art Deco Pullover
This week I’m returning to the idea of writing my own pattern. This time, however, I’m just going to take it slowly and not fuss too much about results. Given how cold it can get here and the prevalence of … Continue reading
On the Needles – Gravel Grid (nearly there)
Linking up with Ginny for this week’s Yarn-Along. What’s on your needles right now? Hopefully, this is the last time I scold Jake from reading my blog. Hopefully, by next week, I will have something different on the needles. As … Continue reading
On the needles – Gravel Grid (Part 2)
JAKE – same as last week. I should warn you. This is a bit of conversion story. No, not in the way you might think. A conversion within the realm of knitting. For here, today, I must admit: I am … Continue reading
On the Needles – Gravel Grid
*** SPOILER ALERT *** DO NOT KEEP READING IF YOU ARE JAKE. It’s been a bit quiet around the blogosphere lately. For my own part, I’ve traveled down to Toronto and have only just managed to get started on my … Continue reading

On the Needles – Sun Hat
Although I had managed to finish knitting and blocking my Windansea sun hat last week, I ran into a problem when it came to the millinery wire. I thought the jewelry wire I had kicking around would do the trick, … Continue reading
On the Needles
I blame Pinterest. My nearly two week hiatus has been somewhat of a blur – finishing a thesis, cleaning out my library carrel, saying goodbye to friends I’ve known for four years. The end of university is a strange time. … Continue reading
On the Needles
I’m excited to share a little sneak preview of what’s on my needles this week – something that will (fingers crossed) become my first knitting pattern for sale on Ravelry. There isn’t much to see here, but I’ll let it … Continue reading
Wednesday Morning Yarn-Along
I missed last week’s yarn-along in all the craze of work and studying. And even though I have an exam this afternoon, I’m not going to miss another chance to play along. I’m a bit in-between projects right now. Yesterday … Continue reading
