The Pomegranate Chronicles

Knitting: Knitting right along on Griff’s sweater. I have another 5 inches or so to do on the body and I’ll be onto the arms. It’s close to being done. Since we are talking knitting, I think I have found the next project to cast on. My friend Tina of Peacefully Knitting just published a [...]

I finished my first project from the package of inspiration I received from my Bestie Westie.  This pattern is “A Better Bucket” by Amy Swenson. It is knitted with Alpaca with a Twist, baby twist which is a beautiful alpaca with a slight halo that gives the hat a soft romantic look.  I embellished the rim with an icord and wooden button.

For my birthday, I received a package in the mail from my Bestie Westie Peacefully Knitting. I opened this unexpected parcel to find this fabric lined-felted purse chock-full of goodies! There were sewing patterns, knitting patterns, some beautiful alpaca yarn, new tools, a crocheted top pin cushion (so that I don’t have to keep using [...]

Knitting: I am still happily knitting along on my “Better Bucket” hat in a beautiful Alpaca with a Twist sports weight yarn. I had a lot of knitting time this weekend to really get it going. I’ve been knitting so many projects with bulky yarns, I forgot how long it takes to knit on small [...]

Knitting: I was surprised this week with an amazing package filled with all kinds of crafting goodies from my dear friend Peacefully Knitting. One of the wonderful surprises in the package was this beautiful Alpaca with a Twist in my favorite color. As soon as I felt how beautiful it was, I had to cast [...]

Knitting: I am still working on Griffin’s sweater. I have to admit, my knitting has been put aside a bit the last few weeks to make room for spring projects. I did have a chance to work on it while in the car heading up north this weekend. That gave me a few hours of [...]

We have had a more than mild winter up here in the north east. Besides the large rare storm that hit us in October and one small storm in January, it’s been a brown winter. We FINALLY we got a storm. To ring in March, it snowed for two days. We got about 10 inches [...]

Joining Rachel over at House Full of Jays. Sometimes…the yarn wants what it wants…and something as beautiful as this: Becomes a big pile of this… I don’t think this yarn wanted to be the beautiful Just a Flapper Hat. Although, now that I have frogged it, I am glad because I think this pattern would [...]

Better late than never, I always say… Knitting: This is a better picture of the lovely yarn I used in {this moment} from last week. Many of you were interested in knowing more, so here’s the more! This is still a hard representation of the color. It’s a bit more red and has a sheen [...]

I…FINALLY…FINISHED…IT! This is the simple afghan I started in February of 2010. It is a pattern from the “Done by Monday” afghan collection. I used Ella Rae Worsted Heathers. It’s a fantastic yarn. Most of you have seen the progression of this afghan from the beginning. It’s been a long road. It’s beautiful. Next time [...]
