A couple of years ago I made some Christmas sweaters (sweaters that I give as gifts at Christmas time, not the awful "ugly sweaters" that it is popular to wear to Christmas parties) for the grandsons. I used the pattern from this book: They were made from a lovely heather-blue washable yarn with an… Continue reading Workbasket – Christmas Knitting has begun

Workbasket – Maid to Man
I have been busy, as I am sure you have been also. There has been work, running, eating out, schoolwork, family, friends, teaching, puppies, yard work, etc. In between all of that life, I have found time for a few little projects.

Now that I have finally finished DW's birthday quilt (from last year), I gave myself permission to start a new project. I can share it with you here, because MIL & FIL both don't FB and/or read this blog. So, knitting ladies, don't spill the beans! While on summer motorcycle trip, I snuck in a… Continue reading Workbasket – Layette progress and a new project
