ATC Binder


Here it is....the ATC binder. It's not very fancy, certainly not my best work but I like it. I wasn't going to put all the pieces together tonight because I was going to add some stamped artwork and ink but then put it together anyway so it's very plain.

Arya, the Dinoschnauzer!

Arya's birthday is in November, although we're not sure exactly which day.  In honor of her 2nd birthday, I decided to make her another sweater.   Alex and I looked through Ravelry and loved the Dogosaurus Rex pattern by Paton's.  Unfortunately, it's from an out-of-print book by Paton's, "Another Dog's Life."  Fortunately, I found it from a seller in Canada.  (Yay!)  It was a bit expensive considering that I only wanted one of the patterns, but what a cute pattern! I made it a bit too big, but it's still really cute on her!

Bubble-icious Solar Flare Socks

About a month ago, I saw a post for a summer knitting bag and yarn combo from  Knitters Brewing Company  and  Prairie Bag Works .  I fell in love with the print on the knitting bag and the yarn looked bright and fun, so I went for it! The bag is roomier than I expected and I love it!  It's well made, too. It came with a double-pointed needle holder and a beaded stitch marker. (Mine is different than the ones pictured.) And, of course, there was yarn! About the same time, I bought the April 2019 issue of Simply Knitting that came with a supplement called Super Socks. I picked a pattern called Bubble-icious that had stripes across the top where the bubble texture is, but I thought they would work with this yarn.  And I think they did!

My Very First Sweater!

I finally took the plunge and started a sweater. As a fat person, I find it hard to take on the challenge of making fitted clothes, like a sweater. (Yes, I call myself fat - it's just a description, like short or blue-eyed.) Sweaters seem like they are hard to fit and a lot of work. Plus, it's really hard to find plus sized patterns that I like. Last winter, I finally found a pattern. A raglan-style cardigan knit in cotton called the Branching Lace Sweater by Sian Brown Knitwear Design in the August 2018 issue of Simply Knitting. I decided to give it a go. But I don't like knitting with cotton, so I needed a different yarn. I had a stash of 22 skeins of Knit Picks Andean Silk that I purchased more than ten years ago. It was past time that I used the yarn but I was still hesitant. It took an epiphany about relative cost to get me to use it. I realized I was hesitant because I was afraid I would mess up the project and ruin my beautiful, soft, silky Jade yarn. ...
