Just realised I posted the wrong pic for the finished sewn corner of my baby blanket! So here is a finished, sewn corner.I have finished off three borders and only need to knit one end border.  I really can't wait to see the finished product myself!

I'm making real progress on the baby blanket and I'm so excited because I just love the moss stitch borders! They really finish the blanket off and I'm certain I'll be knitting this one again! Here's a picture of the moss stitch and mitered corner fr

I took off from work ten minutes early tonight to get into town.  Went to my LYS to pick up some more Tivoli Zest for a Posh Scarf.  Speaking of which, the girl I made the scarf for loved it.  She was showing it off to everyone as well so I'm plea

Last night I finished the Posh Scarf in Tivoli Zest for a girl at work.  And I've been 'commissioned' to do two more Posh Scarves! Since I only charge for the price of the wool it's a great bargain!After I finished the scarf I started up on the bord

I acomplished a lot today in the way of shopping, cooking and knitting! I finally took a picture of my husband modelling his Irish Hiking Scarf....feast your eyes on this! The scarf I mean, not the model!! He says the scarf keeps him toasty warm on s

Well I don't often call myself stupid but stupid is as stupid does! While out walking today I passed a bookstore that I've passed a zillion times before and have actually shopped at.  I don't know why I never looked for knitting books here, it just

I realise I spoke to soon.  I went out to town to pay some bills and visit the library before heading off to Bray.  So far so good, returned some books, paid my late fee and took out three new books on knitting (one on the history of Aran).  Paid

I'm heading for Bray this afternoon to check out a wool store that I heard about.  I'm trying not to get my hopes up because they could be just as limited as the shop I normally go to (I believe its referred to as my LYS - local yarn store). I'm loo

Well I finished the Irish Hiking Scarf last night (pic to be posted soon).  It was approximately 62/63in long, perfect for a double wrap around my sweetstuff's neck.  He wore it to work today and was roasting in it while the other lads on site were

A long long time ago in a country far far away...I took up knitting. I was in college in 1997 (in Canada, since I was only imported to Ireland in 2000), a small liberal arts college where the cool thing to do soon became knitting. I was taught the ba

Just wanted to post a pictures of my Irish Hiking Scarf in progress.  It's an easy pattern that I memorized after about 3 repeats, so I can sit and surf or watch tv while knitting.  It's quite relaxing and after the complicated baby blanket this ma

I've finally upgraded my blog so I can post pictures!! I won't go overboard though, but here's a start.This is the baby blanket I'm knitting.  It's 97 stiches cast on with a 16 row pattern repeat to create the lace effect.  This piece is the centre

Oh man my head hurts!! I can barely keep my eyes open much less knit anything more complicated than a guage test.  Was out with workmates until 4am last night! Of course, I had to be up at 9 for my appointment at the chiropractor.  That was not fun

So I went out to do a bit of shopping today and realised one big problem when it comes to this new hairdo. My scalp gets freezing cold now that it is exposed! So I came home, warmed up with plenty of coffee (so much for cutting down) and knit myself

Well well well, here's my first ever knitblog. Actually, it's my first ever blog! Funnily enough my first entry has nothing to do with knitting as I did absolutely no knitting today whatsoever. Instead, I got up early (on a Saturday?!) and went to ha
