http://sharingneedles.com It's a hobby ... not an addiction. Sat, 31 Mar 2007 00:32:14 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en What makes me happiest of all is my father-in-law's old toolbox. In honor of my mother, who for years used my father's old tacklebox for her jewels, it's now my sewing box: Oooooooh. Aaaaahhhhhh. http://sharingneedles.com/?p=35 I just wrote a lovely post on my lovely needle case. But it got lost when Firefox crashed and I don't have the heart to dredge it all up again. Here, to speak for itself, is the DP needle case, from Stitch N Bitch: The only defense I have, ... http://sharingneedles.com/?p=34 No picture, but I've started on the strap! EDITIED I'm really excited to get this one done so I can start a second one. This time on the right size of needles. This first bag is going to be great for large farmer's market purchases, like sides of beef. http://sharingneedles.com/?p=33 Well, one of them, anyway. Isn't it cute? Another mom at drop-off this morning complimented it, without prompting! She said, "It's a storybook skirt!" The best design detail is the little bow at the waist -- the girl's own idea! Do NOT tell me my house is ... http://sharingneedles.com/?p=32 Looky what came in the mail today! My mom surprised me with the Great American Afghan pattern book!

I wish you could see the ... http://sharingneedles.com/?p=31 Well, Robert's right -- Twinkle by Wenlan is very cool, "EVEN" for a knitting site! You can also buy accessories and homey things.  My favorite item?  This bath mat featuring Divine! http://sharingneedles.com/?p=30 One of the first things he said to me this morning was, "You haven't posted any pictures of your bag." My response..."huh?" Well it turns out, I'm not the only 'computer game widow' who knits. DH (dear husband - he hates that nickname *grin*) was online last night tossing toilets ... http://sharingneedles.com/?p=29 If I'm going to keep taking pics of this sock creeping up my leg! You can't tell but the heel turn (good Freudian -- I typed "hell turn") is gnarly. Difficult, too, but after 3 times ripping it out and examining the instructions in minute detail with Lori on the ... http://sharingneedles.com/?p=28 Picture me running around like Steve Martin with phone books and you'll get the picture of how excited I was yesterday. Yes, yesterday. I couldn't be bothered to post yesterday because I HAD TO KNIT! I've got the bottom constructed & am starting my first couple of rounds of the ... http://sharingneedles.com/?p=27 Ooooh, I love these socks from Knitty: Spring 2007 -- but oy, size 1 needles! Yikearoni! (FWIW, I didn't much care for anything else in the current issue. Disappointing!  And don't you love the top half of this photo and hate the bottom half?  I do.) http://sharingneedles.com/?p=26
