When we last visited, I was full of courage! Thanks to Kate Davies, I was ready to give steeking a try and quite confident that I would end up with a perfect little Easter sweater for my daughter! 

A fancy lace shawl in the new beautiful Luxury Silk yarn?

 "Bring Budd back! Bring Budd back!" Well, Ann is back, and with a VENGEANCE.

I don't remember how I found her. I was probably surfing my favorite knitting blogs when I stumbled upon the cutest little designer. I just love all of Kate Davies' designs and knew I had to knit at least one of her projects....soon!  I decided on the junior version of the Blaithin sweater for my daughter's Easter sweater.

Sometimes Valentine's Day comes in all fast and crazy; a dozen roses, chocolates, and sappy cards. Other times it's all but forgotten; a shuffle of the feet in apology and a bent up card some time around midnight. But once in awhile, something comes in like a spring breeze in a snow storm, something wonderful finds its way to your day.

A friend taught me how to knit; it would be nice to say that the craft was passed along to me by one of many fine craftspeople on my maternal side though! However, I'm happy to say that I have some great examples of their knitting and crochet that have traveled along with me over the years.

The Famous Felted Slippers are famous for a reason, they are a great project, people love them!  I finally made myself a pair last winter and used yarn I had not felted before, but sadly came out too small for me.
