    Good Memories

    Bymichelle May 12, 2015August 4, 2022

    You know all those sock scrap memory blankets you see all over knitting sites?  You know how they take forever, but still considerably less time than a Beekeeper’s Quilt?  Well,…

    A Southern Lady’s Sweater

    Bymichelle May 8, 2015August 4, 2022

    When I talk about this cardigan I always want to put on an affectation of a southern lady’s voice.  I am a southern lady, so this is very affected.  It…

    Twenty Ten

    Bymichelle May 6, 2015August 4, 2022

    Twenty Ten kind of slipped under the blogging radar.  You may remember I began it on the way to Madtosh Fort Worth to see Veera Välimäki and Joji Locatelli.  That…

    Wilco is 20, We’re 21

    Bymichelle May 5, 2015August 4, 2022

    Our marriage is 21, that is.  We celebrated it quietly by almost forgetting and remodeling our tiny kitchen.  It will now be a nicer looking, tiny kitchen.   But a…

    New Girl

    Bymichelle May 1, 2015August 4, 2022

    I finished New Girl by Allyson Dykhuizen and I love it.   Sadly, it’s too warm here for a wool skirt, but I am seriously considering knitting another in a…

    Bymichelle April 24, 2015August 4, 2022

    Color Change

    Bymichelle April 15, 2015August 4, 2022

    Don’t you love that point when a color changes?  It could be from winter brown to spring green, from green to blooming, or from the stem to the end of…

    Bymichelle April 10, 2015August 4, 2022

    The Rory Needs a Break Scarf

    Bymichelle April 7, 2015August 4, 2022

    This modified Unicorn Stripes (by Antonia Shankland) scarf was a form of therapy.  Who cares that it’s super long and repetitive?  It uses lots of stash yarns, some of which…

    Bymichelle March 31, 2015August 4, 2022
