I Should Be Doing Homework

. . . but I happened to check my bloglines and saw this link to an interesting National Geographic Channel video.  What floored me was the footage of the women spinning and knitting.

Nothing Fun

Just little ol’ Kelli today. I’m busy as always; too many sweaters irons in the fire, too many shawls patterns filling up my day, too many socks yarns begging to be knit ,and most importantly, too many other things getting in the way of knitting.
My wrist is feeling much better, but I am daunted by [...]

At this point, I was stumped.  I bought the [...]

I’m going to be [...]

More fun stuff!

Ok, my Scout’s Swag arrived and I have to blog it. It is scrumptious. A GoKnit pouch and some yarn (Chuck T’s) by the Yarn Nerd, Adam. While the colors aren’t in one of my usual colorways, I think it will make great socks. I do enjoy the [...]
