This Saturday was World Wide Knit in Public Day. The Berkley Knitters made a good show of it and we headed out to a local park to enjoy the sunshine (although we all forgot sunscreen and ended up a bit pink).
There was a great spread with chocolate chip cookies, couscous salad, brie, baguette, tomatoes, cherries, [...]
I finally got some of the photos off the of camera! Here are some of the things I have been working on:
The Sidelines Top saga continues, I am working on the front and am at the decreases for the waist. Now that I can work the cable pattern by site rather then having to check [...]
A little while back, the same day in fact as the making of the stockings, my friend Libby and I decided we needed to to try a little experiment with some wool yarn I had gotten in a yarn swap. The yarn we wanted to dye is wound in those little pats that aren’t really [...]
It is cold outside, but that is ok because I have a big cup of hot tea. January has been dubed Hot Tea Month by the Tea Association of the United States of America.
The gals over at Knit One, Tea Too have purposed some topics to blog about over this month and I couldn’t pass [...]
So do you remember that yummy looking yak and merino roving that I got at Color from A Verb for Keeping Warm? Well I have been busy on the wheel lately and it is now a lovely fingering/lace weight yarn.
I also finally got the last bit of the Plumber plyed and am now trying to [...]

Today I offer you a link [...]
This weekend was a fun tea things filled weekend. On Saturday my friend Nita (SpitSplice to any Ravelers out there) came and dropped off two boxes full of crochet and knitting patterns for me to go through (more on these later) and then we and her hubbie went to my local tea bar, L’amyx, for [...]
About two weeks ago I went to a little fiber festival in Berkeley. The festival is aptly named Color and this was the second one this year. At this point it is a very small festival, about 5 vendors, about 6 small classes and an area for folks to bring their wheels, spindles, knitting, etc. [...]
When I first got on to Ravelry one of the first things I did was to check out the groups, much to my dismay there was no group for tea lovers, so of course I started one. Now the group is HUGE and many wonderful moderators help to answer questions, run swaps, and keep the [...]
Well, I had thought I would be able to post about my progress on a few projects but the photos for those did not seem to make it onto the jump drive so instead I have photos of some old projects that I have been meaning to gets pictures taken of. Enjoy.
