New Ravelry Ads Created By Me
Yesterday Mr. K was out of town, so I sat myself down and, in addition to getting a lot of knitting done, I created several new ad graphics that will run on Ravelry ads in November. I thought they turned out pretty good, what do you think?

Our Little Boy Is Not Little Anymore – or – There Is No Turning Back Now
I have been waiting for what seems like forever to do this post. In August our son Bryan was married and I did a short blog post about it. I have been unable to post photos of the wedding because the stole that I made for his bride was the pattern for the Secret of…

Blocking the Secret of the Stole III
The Secret of the Stole III, like all of our previous stoles, has a very unique shape. Sometimes, a uniquely shaped knitted piece can present quite a challenge during the blocking process. This particular stole has rounded edges on each end so traditional blocking wires that are very stiff will not work well for this…
