Robin’s Egg Afghan

This WIP has been "In progress" since February 2009. In my own defense, it's pretty hot here to be stitching together a heavy blanket, so I only worked on it in the winters. Looks nice on my bed but I have so many of them and this one is extra long (5' x 8') and…

Merry Christmas from MyDailyFiber!

I'm on a bit of a hiatus now doing other things for the holidays, like baking, decorating and traveling. Early, I know, but I don't want to miss sending my best wishes for you and your family for a joyous season of laughter, kindness and love. "I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try…

Thanksgiving may be over, but I’m still thankful

Over the years I've learned to simplify my Thanksgiving a bit by using more out of the box foods and enjoying the meal more. I still spend time on certain things, but I've let go of a few things that seemed like they weren't worth the time I was putting into them. This year we…

Christmas gift making

Trying to get a head start on done winter mittens for Christmas. One more color to go. These are Wood hollow mittens in Cascade 220 super wash.

Christmas in July, 2011, continued

A few gift scarves are finished for Christmas, whew! But I still have a to-knit-or-crochet list a mile long. Eventually I'm hoping that I can learn to not over commit my tired hands to so many projects, but I have a yarn room with so much stash - I need to keep going. Two finished…

Christmas in July, 2011

I have to work on my Christmas gifts year-round, or I would never get them done. From Webs, this is worsted jo-joland + Valley Yarns Stockbridge. I will make two matching, one for a little girl and her mom. These go very fast for me, so I really enjoy working on them. Scarves or often…

Itty Bitty Baby Feet

A cousin asked if I would make socks for her soon-to-arrive baby. I honestly had nothing on the needles so how could I say no? They're a hybrid of a few patterns, but soft and cute anyway.

And away it goes…..

A gift bag completes the gift and off it goes to the birthday girl. Hope she likes it.

Annalisa’s Shawl

This is the Ishbel Shawl, which has become a favorite for me. This is a Christmas present but I try to make those well in advance because I'm not one to try to knit in a deadline. That ruins the peaceful fun of knitting for me. This is knit in Madelinetosh Tosh Sock in the…

Happy Bearthday!

We have a new baby (one of several) arriving soon in my family. I've never met this cousin, but we found each other on Facebook, She not only beautiful but I can just tell she's a very good person as well. That made me want to knit for her new baby, see how that works?…
