Knitting// What a lovely idea! Why not knit something for your wall in the new year?

 

 

Watching// So I am waaaaay waaaay behind on the Downton Abbey tip. I didn't even get around to watching Trueblood this season either. In fact, I hardly watch television at all since I began finishing up my degree requirements. I hope it is as good as everyone says!

 

 

On my needles// Working on a cables and lace baby blanket for my new niece. She is due in a few weeks and I am knitting on hyper drive. The pattern is lovely and I did manage to fudge up one of the yarn overs..... but that's for another post entirely.

Eating// Pretty much what I have going on for NYE. Some wine and cheese and good company.

 

Happy 2014 everyone!







AHAAAA Tip of the Week! Pick Up Lines From Yarn Harlot

Picking Up Stitches

I needed this tutorial in the worst way! In fact, I shied away from making Purl Bee's Bulky Baby Blanket because I couldn't muster the courage to pick up stitches. "To Hades with all that," I told myself.

What was I thinking!? Although I missed out on making one for my bestie, who had a beautiful healthy little girl this past September, I won't be intimidated to summon up the courage the second time around and I have Yarn Harlot to thank!
