Anniversary Edition Schacht Matchless Cherry For Sale–SOLD

Cheryl K. posted an article on - Aug 15, 2011, 3:25 pm
Thank you for your interest.  The wheel is sold. I am sad to say I’m selling my Schacht Matchless Cherry wheel.  I just don’t have the time to spin any more and it’s a shame to have such a beautiful wheel sitting idle.  It’s only been used once for about 2 hours to ply.  Here are the de...

Jim isn’t familiar with my camera at all…I wondered what happened when he was trying to get a picture of me and Jayne with Rudolph at the Cincinnati Pops.  Now I know Merry Christmas!

My shoulder issues have put a serious crimp in my blogging!  Not so much because I can’t type, but because I haven’t been able to knit.  Prior to surgery knitting was one of the things that seemed to aggravate it the most.  It’s been extremely frustrating and definitely weird to be watching...

I seem to be on a roll with the posts this week.  I’m sure it’s because I hate packing soooooo much, any distraction is welcome!  This is not one of my original recipes.  It came to me though the Vegetarian Times newsletter in April…sorry I’ve been holding it back for so long.  Even if y...

Bootcamp anyone?

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be at the Menla Retreat and Conference Center learning to teach yoga.  The format is a week long, 100 hour teacher training “bootcamp.” (Does that bother anyone else, I mean, does the US always have to be different ie  imperial measurement AND weird period/comma rules...

Perfection is measured in millimeters

Cheryl K. posted an article on - Jun 1, 2010, 3:50 pm
It can be difficult to maintain a knitting blog when one hasn’t been doing much knitting!  I’ve had a problem with my right shoulder/arm/wrist the last 5 weeks that I’ve been trying to rest, as least somewhat.  Some of you may remember I had surgery on my LEFT shoulder a few years ago so hav...

I hope you’ll forgive my lame post title when you’re dazzled by the beauty of Arizona.  I took a boatload of pictures this time and was lucky enough to get several good ones. Crafty update soon!

Lucky Californians

Every time we’re in Arizona, I’m amazed by the fresh produce.  It is infinitely fresher, tastier and better looking than anything we get in Ohio (at least in the grocery store).  I’m pretty sure it has to do with the proximity to California…less travel time to destination and all.  Just l...

What is yoga?

Cheryl K. posted an article on - Apr 19, 2010, 6:47 pm
I was reading a newly discovered blog, Namaste, Bitches (just the title alone was enough to make me HAVE to explore it) and came up with a great question. What is yoga? Or more specifically, what do people who don’t really know much about yoga think it is?  In the post “Takin’ It To The Stree...

My very first quilt is now at it’s permanent home with a new baby!  My closest friend from high school was blessed with a second child and I really wanted to do something special since this was a particularly difficult pregnancy.  I “cheated” a little…I bought a kit for the Baby Buggies pa...

It sure took a long time to complete what were supposed to have been Olympic socks!  Even though I hate knitting socks on size 0 needles, I must’ve thought this Crystal Palace Panda Silk required it.  It’s the first time I tried this yarn and it really has a great feel.  The blend is ...

A New Adventure

You may have noticed I’ve gradually expanded the blog to include more areas of my life.  Almost five years ago when I started the Diva Knitting blog, I was hesitant to include anything but knitting.  It can be scary (and sometimes imprudent)  to put your life out there for anyone in the wor...

Something New

I can’t believe I just finished my first quilt. I have a whole new respect for quilters! It seems like it should be relatively easy to sew a straight line, especially when you have a handy dandy 1/4″ seam foot. Turns out (as so many things are), it’s harder than it looks. I can...

Out with the Old

Cheryl K. posted an article on - Apr 6, 2010, 1:46 pm
It seemed like it might be worthwhile to try to repair the old clogs as long as I was felting anyway. I loosely added yarn to the holes and then threw them in with the new clogs. Let’s just say this wasn’t a successful experiment…best to move on to new and prettier clogs! This w...

I have made many, many pair of Fiber Trends Clogs yet they never cease to amaze me!  It’s just such a clever pattern it makes me happy every time I make them.  As you can see, it is beyond time for a a new pair.  I think we knitters are a bit like the mechanics with broken cars, plumbers wi...

Day 6…revelations

Cheryl K. posted an article on - Mar 28, 2010, 12:25 pm
I can hardly believe I’ve made it 6 days subsisting on rice and moong dal.  Probably the worst part of this cleanse was that I had to tell a couple of friends about this to explain why I couldn’t go to lunch this week.  Ostensibly, I know why I’m doing it but it’s hard to p...

My husband, ever so subtle, brought home an article the other day about spring cleaning.  I’m the first to admit we are way overdue for a pretty serious house cleaning.  Like many people we have accumulated way too much stuff over the years.  When you are lucky enough to have a home, live i...
