		<title>Crafting memory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was not a crafty child.  Honestly, if you had told me ten years ago that I would love crafting this much I would have laughed at you.  I always hated craft night at Girl Scouts because I felt that my crafts never came out as well as everyone else&#8217;s.  My middle school art teacher [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stitchywitch.wordpress.com&blog=349687&post=773&subd=stitchywitch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow &#8211; what a great response to my question about other crafts &#8211; I&#8217;m glad to be in such great company, and I hope my quest to learn to sew goes well!  I&#8217;m waiting on a part for my machine, though I do now have a copy of the manual, and I&#8217;ve been working on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stitchywitch.wordpress.com&blog=349687&post=766&subd=stitchywitch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Multi-craftedness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I find myself lately with a lot of spare time.  This is mostly because of my job situation change &#8211; I&#8217;ve gone from working 1 full time and 1 part time job to working 1 full time job (that really has part time hours, and is in my house anyway, so I don&#8217;t have to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stitchywitch.wordpress.com&blog=349687&post=764&subd=stitchywitch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Sock stash enhancement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sad news this week&#8230; there will be no pictures of the Bobbie cardigan coming.  Why?  Because it looks super awful on me.  Even my husband agrees that it just isn&#8217;t &#8220;me.&#8221;  It is a bit big in the shoulders and bust, so I can&#8217;t come up with a closure that is flattering, but it doesn&#8217;t [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stitchywitch.wordpress.com&blog=349687&post=762&subd=stitchywitch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>sock weather</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I started a pair of socks today (Tsunami from Knitted Socks East and West) and really wanted a way to photograph them.  The yarn, Socks that rock lightweight in blue moonstone, is beautiful but impossible to photograph.
So today, in a fit of crafting, I built my own lightbox.  I used the tutorial here, and it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stitchywitch.wordpress.com&blog=349687&post=760&subd=stitchywitch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

But then again, I&#8217;m biased&#8230;
My sister-in-law sent photos of my niece Sarah in her new hat &#8211; at last, a captive target for handknits!

		<title>Book Review: Knitted Socks East and West</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Every year as autumn rolls around I become obsessed with knitting socks.  Knitted Socks East and West by Judy Sumner is the first of 3 sock books I have bought this year, and my favorite!  The idea behind this book is to incorporate Japanese stitch patterns into socks.  The author opens by discussing her interest [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stitchywitch.wordpress.com&blog=349687&post=755&subd=stitchywitch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Fall is for layering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I used to really object to the idea of layering, preferring suffering to feeling suffocated under fabric.  That was before I realized that layering could include wearing short sleeved sweaters over something long &#8211; and my arms don&#8217;t have to feel like stuffed sausages!  So I&#8217;m a wee bit obsessed with this idea.  After finishing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stitchywitch.wordpress.com&blog=349687&post=753&subd=stitchywitch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>FO: Kürbis baby hat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Pattern: Kürbis baby hat
Yarn: Vanna&#8217;s choice in Tangerine and Kelly Green
Needles: US 5 and 6
Notes: I&#8217;m not much of one for knitting baby items, but I do have a baby niece &#8211; and what kind of a knitter aunt would I be if I didn&#8217;t make her something?  Besides, this hat is adorable!  The pattern [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=stitchywitch.wordpress.com&blog=349687&post=750&subd=stitchywitch&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
