Pathological.

I always knew that the people who “flash their stash” online were a bit nuts. Who really wants others to see what they have purchased but haven’t used yet?

I thought Louise was crazy when she was stressing about not finishing her baby booties.

Sure, I’ve got some yarn.

Sure, I’ve got unfinished projects.

But c’mon. No new projects for 40 days? I didn’t think I’d have enough to do.



Hello, Kettle? You’re black.

Yes, this is my Easter basket. All of my unfinished projects are here. They include a bag, felted and just waiting for handles, a Baby Albert (Einstein) sweater waiting for seams and buttons, a finished sweater that needs to be made smaller, my Master Knitter projects and a whole bunch of other things I’d forgotten about. And Louise? I've got booties too. Forty-one projects in all. Yes, 41. Ouch.

Who else is in? Send me your pics and I’ll post them if you want. . .

Hope this doesn't come up twice. I already typed a comment and seem to have lost it. Oh well..

I think your felted bag looks gorgeous and would love to see it when it's finished. It looks really large, about the size I'd like to make. Did you use a pattern or make it up as you went along?

I'll have to check my stash at home to see how many projects I have there. I sure hope I don't have as many as you. 8-)

You should start bringing some of them to the Beanery to work on, eh?
See you there.

I've completed 7 items today and am closing in on number 8. I'm hoping to make it 10 before I go to bed tonight. Somehow knowing that I've completed 25% of my unfinished projects will make it all better. . .won't it?

One way to deal with unfinished projects, if it's less than 1/4th finished and given you no end of trouble, is to take it off the needles and ball up that yarn again. I think it's ok to cast on during lent, if it is to start a Prayer Shawl. Another way to get around this problem, is to start crocheting. Sharon L.H.

BSKG 1st Guest Post

Posted by Kim Whelan  "copyright Geneve Hoffman Photography" I have this friend; maybe you have one like her? She’s the kind of friend that has all these crazy, great ideas, and somehow, before you know it, you’re smack dab in the middle of something! This friend is the reason that I found myself starting a knitting guild (BSKG) with her a few years ago and found myself president of said guild a few years later. She is also the reason that I started designing patterns. I was just drifting along, calmly knitting away when she said “write a pattern, challenge yourself” That is how I came to write my very first pattern “Etta” which appeared in Lace One Skein Wonders . Now writing a pattern didn’t come easy, there were many mistakes along the way, but I stuck with it and finally I had a pattern I was proud to publish on Ravelry. After that first pattern I wrote a few more that I was lucky enough to have printed in some local publications. But that friend of mine,

March Guild Meeting with Melynda Bernardi

Our guest speaker,  Melynda Bernardi of French Press  Knits, was wonderful! She shared about her background as a knitter, how the name French Press Knits was chosen,  how she started by selling felted slippers and progressed in to writing patterns. Her work is beautiful and she brought several samples to share. Melynda graciously offered a discount on her online patterns for the month of March for our guild members!
