YarninCozy: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
http://theyarnincafe.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-new-year.html
Friday, January 1, 2010. I am in the process of knitting several projects, and I would like to promise a few posts, but every time I make that commitment, I get bombarded by a round of doctor's visits. I'm not making any promises, and I know that eventually the doctors' visits will fade away, and I'll get to spend some time on this blog. I have been more successful at keeping my ravelry account more up-to-date. Check it out: My name over there is yarninmama. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

YarninCozy: Lacy Ribbed Tee
http://theyarnincafe.blogspot.com/2009/07/lacy-ribbed-tee.html
Monday, August 24, 2009. I tried it on after these changes, and it seems to be going well. I've stopped doing swatches (horrors! Because I never knit the same gauge over a swatch that I do in the project. So I've resigned myself to knitting a project a couple of times before it turns out how I like it. This works out well because I enjoy the process of knitting, and it is very important that a garment fits well. I think this means that I'm am both a process and a product knitter.

YarninCozy: September 2009
http://theyarnincafe.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 1, 2009. I had some leftover yarn from my Spring Pullover to make a little something extra. So I picked out this out of 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders. It is the Garter Stitch Loop-Through Scarf by Marci Richardson. I modified it slightly; instead of increasing to 32 stitches, I increased to 22 stitches. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

YarninCozy: July 2009
http://theyarnincafe.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 20, 2009. I found this pattern on Ravelry here. Here is the next dishcloth that I made for my friend. I found the pattern on Ravelry here. It was a free download, and I just thought the effect was really cool. The blue yarn is cotton, but I'm not sure of the brand. The natural yarn is Peaches and Cream cotton. Chain an odd number of stitches the width desired. Single Crochet in the second chain from the hook, and then in each stitch across row. Chain one and then turn.

YarninCozy: May 2009
http://theyarnincafe.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 22, 2009. Lately, I've been drawn to simple, meditative knitting. I was in a bicycle accident in early March. Right now I'm struggling from postconcussive syndrome and weak wrist. I can knit simple things, but crochet makes my wrist ache. I'm getting better, but not as fast as I would like! Here is the age-old simple dishcloth pattern although I've used this same pattern to make shawls and baby blankets:. Cast on 3 stitches. Knit 1, Yarn Over, Knit remaining stitches.

YarninCozy: August 2008
http://theyarnincafe.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 15, 2008. The Beginning of the Mitered Blanket. When I finished the Pink and Green Elephant, I started making these squares. I visited the Going-Out-of-Business Sale for FiberWorks Knitting and Weaving in Toledo, OH, and picked up quite a few skeins of yarn to get me started. I plan on this blanket taking me quite a while to knit because I plan on doing other projects at the same time. Here is the yarn (all in DK weight) I'm using so far:. Debbie Bliss Cathay - white. I think it is going t...

YarninCozy: February 2009
http://theyarnincafe.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 20, 2009. Shell Baby Blanket - Crocheted Shells. Yarn: Bernat Baby Boucle in Dust of Pink and Violet Blossom. Pattern: Crochet Shell - I improvised this pattern. I alternated single crochet with 5 double crochets in one stitch. This boucle yarn is soft and nubby. It is easy to work with although it is difficult to pull out if you make a mistake, and if you pull too hard, it will break. This is a fairly mindless pattern repeat. It was a great project while watching tv. My forearm (which I...

YarninCozy: Cabbage Dishcloth
http://theyarnincafe.blogspot.com/2009/08/cabbage-dishcloth.html
Wednesday, August 26, 2009. I love knitting and crocheting dishcloths. They are small and the various patterns give lots of variety. Also, a few handmade dishcloths can really add something special to a gift. I love functional gifts, and dishcloths can be both pretty and functional. This particular dishcloth is the Cabbage Patch Knitted Dishcloth by Tomato Lady. And I made it in a KAL on Ravelry. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

YarninCozy: Frozen Key Lime Pie
http://theyarnincafe.blogspot.com/2009/08/frozen-key-lime-pie.html
Friday, August 28, 2009. Frozen Key Lime Pie. Doesn't every cafe need a good pie recipe? In the heat of the summer, I love frozen key lime pie. It reminds me of the beach and it goes down smooth. After searching through several recipes, I found my favorite on Food Network. Frozen Key Lime Pie. By Robin Miller 2007. 1 (8-ounce) container nondairy whipped topping, thawed slightly. 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk. 1/2 cup fresh lime juice. 1 (9-inch) prepared graham cracker pie crust.

YarninCozy: December 2008
http://theyarnincafe.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 3, 2008. A little knitting humor. Since I've been taking care of a sick child, I could use some humor . A woman is knitting as she drives (which is totally unsafe, and I don't advocate it). Pretty soon, her speed has crept all the way up to 95 mph- and she passes a parked police car. The car gives chase. Officer Bob turns on his siren, but the woman, oblivious, doesn't notice him. Finally, he pulls up alongside her car and yells, "Pull over! I found this here.
