Why oh why….?

Why is it that I can never have just one project? I now have 4 WIPs on needles in my bags….no, wait – 5. I am so tangled and scattered, I don’t know what to work on more! One project is briefly on hold as I wait for circular needles I had to order, due [...]

Cute Summer Top – Simplicity 4589

I made this top this week, and think it turned out okay. I am still new to making tops, so my finishing is not always brilliant, but it’s only a matter of time and practice.

Three Skinny Scarves to Go!

I am on a skinny scarf kick. We watch a lot of German television programs, and they are quite popular wardrobe staples for many of the hip, young, female characters, so I had to have one. Then two, and then three. And now I’m working on number four. I just love doubling up pretty yarns [...]

Knit Suede Fabric?

I was fortunate enough to get three huge boxes of fabric for free from a local freecycle, and of these three boxes, at least one box worth is various colors of ‘knit suede’. I had no idea what it was even, but then a trip to the local Rag Shop opened my eyes. It is [...]

We have lift off!

This is my first ‘official’ Knit Geek blog post. I know you’re excited…don’t try to deny it. I love sewing and knitting, and finding cool, unique fabrics. I sell some things on eBay, mostly interesting, but some great staple type fabrics and yarns as well. I have no professional training, and just sort of muddle [...]
