Dice Bags at Farbo Co!

Over time, I have made a lot of dice bags. They are now for sale at Farbo Co, a wonderful gaming shop located right be Central Market in Lancaster, PA, USA. I recommend checking them out, and buying a dice bag. I have gamed in the past and have quite a collection of dice myself. […]

Merry Christmas from Rock Star Knitting!

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Have a great Yule! Celebrate a festive Saturnalia! Now for some knitting…..the yarn in the photo above is a Noro version of Kureyon. I haven’t had a ball of Noro, or any luxury yarn, in ages. It feels good to indulge a little bit. Seriously, have a happy and safe holiday […]

Birthday Yarn

Now, please note, my birthday isn’t until October, but my aunt and uncle recently moved, and rather misplace my gift during their transition, my aunt chose to give it to me while she knew where it was. She gave me some BEAUTIFUL birthday yarn. The yarn is by Leading Men Fiber Arts, and I made […]

Sputnik and His Sweater

See Sputnik in his sweater? Yup, I knit him a sweater. Since he’s a short haired dog, I figured a sweater would be a good idea for him in the upcoming colder months that I really don’t want to think about right now. Details? I used Colette Smith’s Easy-On Dog Sweater pattern available for purchase […]

MillaMia Yarn From LoveKnitting

The nice people at LoveKnitting sent me some yarn to try out. Yay! Yarn! What I received in the mail yesterday was three balls yarn from their Scandinavian line, MillaMia. The yarn is Naturally Soft Cotton, it comes in 50 gram balls, a it is a sport weight yarn. The weather just got as hot […]

Stuffies WITH Faces

My stuffies are done! Rather than got through the frustration of embroidering on their features, as the pattern called for, I decided to go a different route. Either way, say hello to my stuffies WITH faces above! Looking at the photo, you can tell what I did. I got some pom poms, and grabbed my […]

Stuffies Without Faces

Yup! My stuffies from Annie’ Knit Animal Friends are coming along, though they are currently stuffies without faces. I’m still deciding on how to go about that. I’ll tell you why I don’t want to do what the patterns recommend in a sec. First of all, the doggie looks much better than the anemic-ly stuff […]

WIP Wednesday: Knit Bunny

So, lately I have been knitting stuffed toys from Knit Animals Friends by Annie’s, and I’m doing finishing work on a bunny and am working on a dog as a follow up. The photo at the top is where I left off with the bunny. He’s taking shape! I decided to knit toys because I […]

Guilty

Has it really been over a month since I last posted? That’s bad, and I’m guilty of being a bad blogger. To be honest, I needed a break. I was burned out on writing and even a little bit with knitting. I’m a little more re-energized now. I concentrated on a different things, like crocheting […]

Knitting Over Lunch at Work

The government entity I work for is having a “Knitting Over Lunch” group once a week. A lady from another department runs and teaches it. I’ve gone twice now. It’s awesome to see different people from different departments and how diverse our knitting group is, and not just in skill level. Beginners are certainly welcome […]
