Alimum Knits: March 2006
http://alimumknits.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 30, 2006. On a somewhat related note, I have been reading up on the history of knitting in Vogue Knitting and the exclusively male knitting guilds which spread throughout Europe during the 17th century:. At first, I marvel at that. Then I think that if all I did was knit and I didn't have the distractions of a child, a husband, books, the internet, the need to exercise, etc., then I could get more accomplished knittingwise.

Alimum Knits: November 2006
http://alimumknits.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 13, 2006. The Desire Has Returned. It always happens this way. As soon as you are completely immersed in one creative endeavor which has a dealine, suddenly all the creative endeavors decide to come out of hiding. So I am doing nanowrimo. And I find myself thinking up all these items I want to knit and wear right this instant. So I am trying to be good and stay away from the needles. Go read Rebecca's story.

Alimum Knits: August 2006
http://alimumknits.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 15, 2006. My Stash of Manos del Uruguay. Look, it's a rainbow! I had thought I would make Julian a sweater, but now, I don't know. I probably have too much for a toddler sweater, but not enough for a substantially larger project. Maybe I'll just make some hats for my neighbor's kids and trade them for a few of the incredibly. Posted by alimum at 11:01 PM. Sunday, August 13, 2006. Of someone else's child (i.e. not one of her girls and not my son) in an item she made. And told them about th...

Alimum Knits: July 2006

Friday, July 21, 2006. A lacy soft blanket for my cousin's new baby. Materials: #10 circular needle (can use straight needles as well, I used circular so I could stretch it out as I was knitting.). Size J crochet hook. A small amount of Lion Brand Homespun Yarn in Cream was used to bind off. Using a provisional cast on method of your choosing (I use the one described by Barbara Walker in Knitting from the Top) cast on 59 stitches.

Alimum Knits: April 2006
http://alimumknits.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 26, 2006. Too pretty to wear, I almost want to put it on my wall."- Jenny Patt. I love fun fur. I know it is considered tacky craft store yarn, but it is so much fun to work with and the final product is so very soft. I have a bunch of black and red and white. I then thought, "what about Power Puff Girls lace? So I go back to finishing up the last of the gray lace mohair. While all these ideas are great, it is hard to decide how to best allocate the few hours of my day which are child-fr...

Alimum Knits: June 2006
http://alimumknits.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 30, 2006. Knit A Baby Hat, Encourage Breastfeeding. As many of you know, I used to knit and design baby hats. Many were sold or given away and I no longer have the inventory I once did. I do have the pictures, however. A lot of you also know that I am nursing Julian, who is now almost 20 months old. Obviously, he isn't attached to my breast as he was when he was an infant. In fact, there are days when he hardly nurses at all. Posted by alimum at 1:33 PM. Monday, June 26, 2006. Sock It To Me.

Alimum Knits: February 2007
http://alimumknits.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 22, 2007. About a week ago, Julian asked me for a bathrobe. Julian hates to wear clothes and I think it finally occurred to him that a bathrobe was not technically clothing and would help keep him warm. Or, maybe, he wanted to be like me. Just before Christmas, I found a red cashmere bathrobe at the Salvation Army. It is pretty fabulous and I wear it every single morning. Sometimes, I wear it even after I have showered and dressed. I started knitting Saturday. So, the lesson to be lear...

Alimum Knits: January 2007
http://alimumknits.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 23, 2007. Not a knitting post, but on the continuum of handcrafted artwork. This was a Christmas gift for Julian from Rebecca, our former neighbor. She brought it along when we had a playdate with Julian and her kids, Nathanial and Lily. Isn't it super cool? Posted by alimum at 12:45 PM. Wednesday, January 17, 2007. This was the tird and final scarf I made for the holidays, so, of course, I post it's photo first. It is made with mohair scraps. Posted by alimum at 9:18 PM. My Motivation T...

Day Four, the Epic Road Trip! Day Six of the Epic Adventure →. May 28, 2014 · 6:26 pm. Libi’s Excellent Portland Adventure, Day 5. Today I decided to try out Portland’s Public Transportation. I’m within .5 miles of a Max Station (the Yellow line). It was a bit rainy when I started out, but it never really poured today. Just a drizzle here and there. I ended up doing a lot of walking today. Here are some things I saw along the way. Oh yeah, I’m in Portland! I got on a bus and went into Portland downtown e...
