Good Drop, Bad Drop

The Clapotis is coming along very well, as you can see in these blurry photos I took in my office with my camera phone. I'm not having any kind of drop stitch stress that I've heard can occur. Infact, it appearred I was a bit drop stitch happy. As I glanced at the Clapotis full length last night, I noticed one little stitch head sticking out about 2 inches from the top. BLAST! How did I end up...

The weather outside is frightful, but the knitting is so delightful

It's the second weekend with a Saturday SnB group meeting, and the second weekend with ice and snow forecast for Saturday. I made the trek into Tyler's for the meeting anyway, but it wasn't the weather that stopped the group from meeting (well maybe for some it was), it was Tyler's yearly staff meeting. The place was closed! I was really looking forward to showing off my first felted project, the...

Do I really look like I know what I'm doing?!

Wouldn't you know it, I went home last night, took many many pictures of my yarns and WIPs, but when I went to the computer to upload the pics to my photo album, the dial up crapped out.

I make a semi-point to leave a few minutes earlier then really necessary, because then I can sit and knit before the class starts. I...

But, now on to something knitty! My pre-felted skull bag. It was supposed to be a knit-a-long with a friend, but she had some problems finding yarn (and needed to finish another project first) so I decided to go ahead...

Welcome to The Dragon Knits!

A very long time ago, I had a blog, but I never used it. Let's hope this time around things are different. This time around I have cool fun stuff to post about. My adventures in knitting! I'd consider myself an intermediate knitter. I taught myself to knit about 4 years ago. It was slow going for the first few years, but I seem to have picked it up with a vengence. I'm trying more complicated projects and I'm falling in love with more expensive yarns. To that end, I have made the decision to...
