I felt badly just talking about the knitting stitches and not posting them. Why I didn’t think of Google to source pictures of the stitches that I was using from Found Poetry and adding my photos to them, I don’t know why. Anyway, the light bulb finally went on and I have photos of the […]
…or Wager Welt. This is a plain and very simple pattern based on garter stitch and stocking stitch. It’s found in Barbara Walker’s first treasury of knitting stitches. Barbara includes an anecdote about the stitch, as well. From looking at the stitch, it’s difficult to tell in an 8 row repeat how many rows are
It’s another dull day in Toronto – very cool and cloudy – and I am in a state of inertia. With time on my hands – especially if I ignore the “to do” lists – I feel like writing; but need to come up with some ideas. I went through the days of the first

Another heading in the photo scavenger hunt is “grain.” I had actually seen these figures last year and I remember taking a picture of one of them, then. Well, here were three in a grouping, today!!
