This post is waaay late but, hey, I’m busy! But.. I did take last Wednesday night off to attend the talk at our Kingston Chapters given by our beloved Yarn Harlot Stephanie Pearl MacPhee. It was so much fun and all the knitters I know in town and then some were there. We were all…
How sweet is this? While mooching around the Buxton Village Books in the Outer Banks NC last week I found this Knitting Muse. They had a large one but after last year I’m on a tight budget so when I found this one in a card I had to have her. She’s made of metal,…
Grabbing a bite to eat before last week’s guest gig my friend Sonja pulled some great things out of her purse …. more wire knits. Here are the little jacket, blue evening dress and gold shrug with pearl beads. I photographed them on a paper napkin so they’re not great but I tweaked them so…
