Another year has slipped by, another knitting year filled with ups and downs.
The year included:
11 pairs of socks
3 sweaters
5 cowls
2 hats
2 pairs of mittens
4 fingerless mitts
1 blanket
and 2 lace shawls
Whew! Well, that’s what happens when you embrace the hermit lifestyle! Some goals for next year include knitting down the stash (probably good for several years!), [...]

There have been a number of changes around here lately.
Weather – a heavy frost Friday and hard freezes on Saturday and Sunday have brought the growing season to a screeching halt. And to add insult to injury, it snowed on Saturday.
A lingering UFO becomes an FO – I finally finished the Spring Forward socks which [...]

Hello Blog!
How have you been?
Yes, it’s been awhile, but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten about you. You’ve actually been in my thoughts quite a bit.
What’s that? Oh. Yes – I’ve been busy. Very busy.
You see, it’s Gardening Season here and from about mid-April to mid-or-late-June it’s just crazy/insane/frantic out in the yard. I drag myself [...]

March is nearly over and, I gotta tell you, I’ll be glad to see the last of it. It’s been dull, drab and chilly with only a few glimpses of Spring. April is bound to be better, even if Winter does try to horn in a bit.
Project Spectrum – March
Here is a mosaic I put [...]

Flying Needles here has another FO and just in time for the first day of Spring (my favorite season) – Hedera Socks!

OK, it’s not an Oscar. It’s better actually, especially since I’ve never worked in the movie industry beyond buying a ticket to see a movie, and because this award is from someone I know. The lovely and talented Jen has nominated flowergirl knits for a Lemonade Stand Award. The award is for demonstrating a positive [...]

It’s hard to believe, but I’ve been writing this blog for one year now! (Except – why oh why did I start a blog in the midst of Christmas craziness? Probably as a procrastination technique)
Whew! That’s a lot of knitting! And it doesn’t count several ripped or languishing projects or the current WIPs. It’s been [...]

My Aunt Harriett loved to do handwork, especially crochet and embroidery. She lived at a time (the first half of the last century) when every dresser had a scarf, every sideboard a runner, every table a doily or tablecloth, every chair an antimacassar.
When my Uncle Carl died recently (Aunt Harriett died four years ago) family [...]

Whew! That took a long time. Much longer than I expected. What is it about computer guys anyway? I know several through work and while many of them are very nice and charming individuals, start asking them about computer problems/issues and they become nearly incomprehensible, with an almost-phobic regard to giving finish dates. It sets [...]

Flowergirl Knits is going on a (hopefully) brief hiatus – Technical Difficulties (my computer crashed yesterday) and a long-standing Family Obligation will keep me away from my home computer for the next couple of weeks. This is very frustrating – I’m quite enjoying my little blog and I was finally going to be able to [...]
