Live Stitches: November 2008
http://live-stitches.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Karen Knits (and sews, and crochets, and quilts, and.). Saturday, November 1, 2008. I know, I know.forgive the cheesy title! Today was the last day for early voting here in NC, so I thought I'd try to save myself from standing in line after work on Tuesday and do my civic duty today. Generally, I don't want to talk politics on this blog, but let me just say - PLEASE VOTE! Well, FOUR and a half hours. 5 podcasts, a very hungry stomach, and almost an entire. Sock later I was back in the car. That's rig...

Live Stitches: I'm Back!
http://live-stitches.blogspot.com/2009/10/im-back.html
Karen Knits (and sews, and crochets, and quilts, and.). Thursday, October 15, 2009. It's true - I am the worst blogger ever. And I don't even really have an excuse! Somehow the rest of you keep blogging even though you're finishing PhD's, or moving far away, or having babies. I have no such excuse, other than sheer laziness. You know how you put things off, over and over, and then it gets so late, you just never do it.yeah. That's me. So - what have I been up to? I went to the beach! Subscribe to: Post C...

Live Stitches: July 2008
http://live-stitches.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Karen Knits (and sews, and crochets, and quilts, and.). Monday, July 21, 2008. Sorry for the recent blog silence! When it comes down to knitting or blogging.I'd rather knit. And I'm also dealing with this :. I started the move into the new apartment over the weekend.and there is a lot to do. So, I haven't done a ton of knitting anyway during the past week - though I do have quite a backlog of FO's to show off. If you're still reading this, thanks! I will attempt a regular post schedule again sometime!

Live Stitches: October 2008
http://live-stitches.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Karen Knits (and sews, and crochets, and quilts, and.). Sunday, October 19, 2008. Um, is this thing still on? When I posted that picture of my unpacked living room, I never anticipated that it would be front and center for nearly 3 months! Thankfully, my living room hasn't actually stayed unpacked this whole time. So, I took a somewhat unintentional blog break for the summer.and part of fall. (whoops! So the posts here dropped off.Not to mention, most of my readers (um, if there are any left! I like "mee...

Live Stitches: Recycling Fabrics
http://live-stitches.blogspot.com/2009/01/recycling-fabrics.html
Karen Knits (and sews, and crochets, and quilts, and.). Friday, January 9, 2009. A few weeks ago, I bought a papasan chair I found listed on Craigslist. I've been wanting one for a while, but brand new ones are pretty pricey - this one was about half the price of one at World Market, plus it came with a matching ottoman! Goodbye ugly map - hello paisley! See how much prettier that is? I was able to keep the old duvet buttons on the back side, so all I had to do was add a strip with buttonholes to the top...

Karen Knits (and sews, and crochets, and quilts, and.). Monday, December 29, 2008. As per the usual on this blog, Happy Belated Holidays! I hope you and your loved ones had a very Merry Christmas. Uncle Steve got a knit hat - he wasn't here this year, so no modeled shots - but he says it fits! I made her some for her HS graduation that got shrunk in the dryer, and she's been begging for more ever since. These are 3x1 rib, done toe-up on magic loop. They're made of Heart and Sole, which is surpris...I mad...

Live Stitches: Hemlock Ring
http://live-stitches.blogspot.com/2009/02/hemlock-ring.html
Karen Knits (and sews, and crochets, and quilts, and.). Monday, February 16, 2009. I don't know if it's the cold weather or what, but lately all I want to do is knit blankets. There's something about curling up on the couch with a warm blanket that sounds so appealing right now. I'm really pleased with how it turned out! I pulled out the wrinkly, crumpled mass of knitting and he was a little skeptical of the magical powers of blocking.I'll have to send him the pictures! Mods: none, really! So, next up in...
