I thought I’d celebrate with a vid from one of my favorite groups Bondo do Role. FYI I think they’re coming to town (PDX) coming soon. They’re playing at the Holocene on September 27.
I started by X-mas knitting projects but I haven’t made a dent. I know I can see into [...]
I found the best Indian Food in Portland at the Tandoor Oven on 4th and Oak downtown (Portland). No, seriously… they make their paneer (home made cheese) in the restaurant and they serve this absolutely marvelous ginger chutney. Everything was fabulous including the Minted Naan.
Also, if you happen to be gluten intolerant the serve a [...]
Project Details:
This is my first shot at the Haiku pattern on Knitty. I used about 3 1/2 skeins of Bella Colour (Melon) to complete this project. I chose this yarn because it’s machine washable, and it is fine to work with; however it can snag pretty easily. I’m thinking that this might not be [...]

As promised here are the colors I am using for the Season 15 Dr. Who Scarf made famous by Tom Baker. I used Elann’s Peruvian Highland Wool because of the rich range of colors and the cost. It’s got to be the best price for the range of colors in a [...]
Cautionary note: if you truly love Jane Austen books just be forewarned. You may not want to read further… I have a bit of a complicated opinion about her writing and characters… Well, I warned you.
Jane Austen Movie Draws Fire from Fans
Whenever I take up “Pride and Prejudice” or “Sense and Sensibility,” I feel like [...]
Brenda Dayne was right, doing a garter stitch project is a lot like being sentenced to Knitter’s Purgatory. It’s the same thing… over and over again. On the other hand doing row after row of garter stitch for a scarf can be sort of meditative. Just add some mantra at the end of [...]
I’m a sci-fi geek. At lunch I spent some time working on my husband’s Dr. Who Scarf. I just found out today that Lalla Ward who played Romana, a companion to the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) actually has a line of knitting books out there. Here’s an example: Beastly Knits by Lalla Ward. [...]
