Lace Class - Block & Starch

March 31st, 2006 · 4 Comments

I attended my 4th lace class last night. We are graduating from swatches to doilies. Calling it a doily doesn’t change the fact that I’m still knitting a swatch. A swatch with a purpose, but still a swatch.

Time Flies

March 18th, 2006 · No Comments

Has it been since Tuesday that I last posted? I finally had Blogger’s cooperation to upload the photos in the last post. For those of you still pretending, you can compare your imagination to the real thing.
I have been swamped at work. Some weeks designing plastic car parts can be a real drain on the […]
