Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! Here’s a quick sneak preview from Knitting It Old School. This is Speedway, it’s based on those super-cool hot rod jackets from the 60s. There’s a matching ladies version in red with black and white stripes. SO cute! The yarn is Louet Gems Sport Weight, so it’s a project, but the finished product will be a sturdy sweater that your speed demon will love. Speedway was designed by Caryn Lantz of Fuzzy Noodle Knits.[...]

    First things first, it seems Charlene wants to add something to yesterday’s post. She added it in the comments, but I figured I’d just put it here for ease of use.

She asked me to let everyone know that she’s lost complete track of blogland, not only because she’s now at the beck and call of two squirming, cooing little balls of cuteness, but her computer has gone and contracted it’s own version of the[...]

      It’s that time of year again. March. It was gorgeous outside on Friday, wasn’t it? Stop nodding! It wasn’t! It was just a trick, an illusion, a fetid carrot dangling on a twisted stick. You’ll see, we’ll be up to our noses in snow before you know it. So what does one do during the month they like least? Get hitched! That’s right, battle the blahs and give yourself a good reason to escape from March once[...]

We will not be stopped, we will not[...]
