They are perfect for eachother, but I'll leave it up to you to decide…Pattern: CurrentDesigner: Cecily Glowik MacdonaldYarn: Tanis Fiber Arts - Purple Label

Several posts ago I mentioned that I was not going to knit any Christmas gifts… well, I lied! When I saw the Abernathy Sweater by Terri Kruse pop up on Ravelry, I knew I HAD TO KNIT ONE. Unfortunately, I don't have any little boys running around my home, so I thought a worthy recipient would be my friend's one year old son. I decided a superwash merino is just what this cute little sweater needed

Last giveaway was an epic fail! Sorry, for the absence on the blogosphere. Unfortunately, the giveaway yarn never arrived. Sad, but true. Things happen, and I think that our package got lost in transit. Maybe someday it'll show up and I can save it away for a rainy day, but for now I have another giveaway to do.This giveaway I have a surprise! You won't know what I'm giving away until I announce

I wanted to drop in and share a really quick fun project I knit up last week. It's the Thistle Cap by Liz Abinante. It's knit in Aran weight yarn and honestly just falls off your needles in a few hours - especially if you can cable without a cable needle. Making it the perfect last minute gift idea for a deserving man or woman in your life! I gave mine to Marc, my very deserving hubby!Pattern:

I have a very special project to share with you today. Back at the beginning of March just shortly before the tragedy in Japan struck, I spotted an ad on Ravelry for a pattern that I immediately fell in love with, Kira's Hooded Vest by Yumiko Sakurai. I promptly contacted the designer and asked if I could knit her pattern and do a small feature for it on my blog. Yumiko is a truly sweet lady and

Since I've dropped down to bi-weekly giveaways, I've had a lot more time to knit, knit, knit to my heart's content. I guess I never realized before how much a giveaway per week really took out of my schedule. I'm not complaining. I love putting together the giveaways! I just wanted to share that the new bi-weekly schedule is the perfect amount of time to organize and put together fun giveaways,

Recently, I've taken up a lot of lace projects - especially since I'm knitting for myself this year. I just adore lace! It's entertaining, challenging, and not to mention beautiful when completed. My non-knitting friends always "oooooh and aaaaah" over my lace projects (once they're blocked of course)! So, in the midst of knitting and constantly browsing through triangle lace shawls, I've become
