This is my knitting curse word. I’ve been lovingly left alone for about 2.5 hours so I can tink between 600 and 900 stitches on my Laminaria. I would show you a photo but time alone is rare and really there’s not that much to see. The Edging Chart is kicking my butt. Somehow I’ve [...]

How lovely to have this Laminaria KAL right here on Seasons of Lace! It means I get to ask for help. This post is directed, in particular, to all of those who have finished Laminarii … in particular, those who chose to make the larger size a bit smaller. Here is my question: How many [...]

I sweet talked Chris into a few quick close up photos of the current projects OTN. First is the Laminaria, using the wonderful green cashmere/alpaca lace from Joy of The Knitting Goddess. I love this yarn so much I ordered some of the little cashmere skeins this week! It’s smooth and lovely to work with [...]

However, thanks to escr, and her effectiveness at getting me to sit still, I’ve some knitting to share. Thanks to Crystal Palace Yarns, I’ve some knitting to be elusive about. First up……the Knitting [...]

Or not really, since I was on a business trip. I went to Riga for one night on a conference with very dense timetable- no shopping time. Still very enjoyable, even if no yarn-buying was involved:) Notice the red blob in the foreground? Here you see my rusty laminaria looking out of the window of [...]
I’m afraid I’ve been neglecting my lace a bit. There has been progress. Really. But not very much: I know, I know, I have no excuse for such a poor showing on Laminaria. But there was other … more noticeable progress on other things. Three is this pair of socks. And there is the Must [...]

a kick in the butt! Someone -please! I´ve lost my drive for lace! Or more accurately I think I have too much of it and can´t decide where to start. For the past days I´ve been knitting socks and sewing stuff and forgot about my lacy disaster. I wonder if you are allowed to call [...]
We made to our farm in time to carry plenty of wood onto the porch and snuggle in. Winters storms in our very rural locale usually signal isolation, not something I’m opposed to personally. I’m sure I’m not the only knitter who dances inwardly with glee at the prospect of limited outside chores and long [...]
