Knitting Fantasies
Posted by Nanc
What is the one thing almost every knitter responds with when asked in a meme “what would you rather be doing” or “if you could be anywhere, where would you be?” That’s right. “Snuggled up in a comfy chair in front of a fire (in a fireplace) knitting.” Would you invite a friend over if you could?
Jeans with a twist

Hmm, this almost sounds like it could be a drink. But it’s not. Nope. It’s a finished object (FO), specifically a pair of socks!
Christmas Wrapup

This Christmas was maybe a little bit more like Halloween. Some tricks, some treats.
put the ‘petal’ to the metal

That’s what it was like knitting this quickie project last week. I put the knitting metal (needles) together to get this petal (flower bib) in no time flat. (That kind of makes sense, right?)
minestrone soup

The weather outside is… well, mild and pleasant. Thick banks of fog this morning, but highs in the 70s and 80s. Very nice. And even for Dallas, this is a little crazy. But last week was totally different.
Which would explain why I made a huge batch of soup. Delicious, hearty minestrone soup from scratch (well, except for the canned food bits). Minestrone soup which was supposed to warm our bellies and chase off the chills. But there are no chills.
Good thing our souls need a little comfort.
a holiday thing

Good Girl Purl of the Purling Ps asked us (the proverbial, internets “us”) to make a list of what makes us happy during the holidays. What can I do but to oblige such a sweet request.

No new hairstyle, captivated or not. But a nice pair of wrist warmers!
Ennui — or is it Enn-wii?

We’ve had a bit of weather lately, and the sub-50 degree temperatures have weighed heavy on my soul. The gray days dropped me deep into a funk that started over two weeks ago. Hopefully, sharing my private pain will be cathartic.

Although I haven’t let this go for as long as I normally do, I did promise to show you pictures of what I picked up at Kid ‘N Ewe.

Norovember, I barely knew thee

How quickly the month of NOROvember came and went. I had grand plans for this month to knit a whole sweater (baby sweater, but still). Alas and alack, I didn’t even cast on for this until yesterday, the last of NOROvember.
