On the Needles

Heirloom Chevron Throw







Off the Needles
By Brittany Tyler








Brainstorming


-Might rip back my Rocky Coast Sleeves to make them 3/4 length
-I got a suggestion from a knitter in one of my classes that when the purl bumps in her socks bother her-- she wears her socks inside out. Must try that!
-Since there's not enough time to knit all of the things I'd like to make for gifts- I've downloaded the Etsy app for my phone to help my handmade gift shopping effort.


From the Armchair

Quote of the Week


Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.
—Oscar Wilde
