A knitting and spinning blog and podcast.
hmmmm….Posted by Aimee on May 7, 2009
I seem to have had a bit of a run there and then stopped – so today I will show you some FOs from the last few weeks.
I helped out Leslie and Laura with a little project and we knit up a bunch of Gloria Cowls for the Elves, Sheri and Knitting Daughter from [...]
BFFPosted by Aimee on April 13, 2009
My friend Stephanie didn’t have any hand knit socks – but she did just have a birthday!
I bought her a little something for her birthday and offered to remedy her sock problem. I let her pic out the pattern – and then she did a stash dive and come up with the yarn from her [...]
For EmilyPosted by Aimee on August 6, 2008

Fun in the SunPosted by Aimee on July 2, 2008
I bet you thought I forget my promise of a FO today.
I am going to a wedding later this month and while the wedding is inside, the reception is outside (and is being catered by an AMAZING Mexican place!) So I needed a little head covering since I don’t do the sun that well.
Pattern: Fun [...]

Well…Posted by Aimee on June 16, 2008
I would like to say that I spent the weekend spinning, but I didn’t. I will be participating in the Tour d’Fleece again this year – so there will be lots of spinning – even though I will be in California for a full week in July – it just means that a drop spindle [...]
April in JunePosted by Aimee on June 9, 2008
I am away on business again this week, so no handspun. To be honest, I thought it was Tuesday ALL day today. I mean with school and work, I have just been swamped. But I have been knitting.
This little sweater was designed by Nell and the pattern is available at Knitch. If you call the [...]
PacMan FeverPosted by Aimee on May 29, 2008
Awhile back, Dani said she wanted to knit a PacMan hat and asked for my help. I decided I would help her out and knit one too – I don’t think hers is finished and mine, well, no one will ever wear it – I hadn’t really planned on anyone wearing it anyway.
But the floats [...]
MarinaPosted by Aimee on May 20, 2008

Pattern: Marina
Yarn: Noro Taiyo – 3 balls – I don’t remember the [...]
