I figured it out!!!!

Guys remember I asked how UFO’s were born? Well I know the answer…it happens when you stumble across a pattern on Pinterest and you run to Ravelry to search for the pattern; and fall in love.

When all is fails…..#iKnit

As I approached the train station before the sun and begun to feel, well annoyed. I grabbed my WIP and worked a row or two and Pow! Instant better. So I got to thinking, what other normal life events lead to knitting? 1. Because the sun rises #iKnit 2. Because I popped a button on

How does one end up with a UFO?

So I was going through my projects on Ravelry and came across an UFO or a WIP as they call it, and instantly became confused. I mean this project has been sitting in the land of the forgotten since October 8, 2013 and I have no idea why. I mean I was simply shocked. This

That time when I knit with Linen..

I love firsts don’t you? The anticipation, the possibilities, just all of it! Well I have Linen in my stash but as you all know I was in the Yarn-less Philippines (not really, but REALLY!) so I had to get what I could get. I mean I was in desperation mode…who goes days without knitting?
