Lady Buttons Heads Abroad
We have some lovely friends who live in the UK. They came to visit recently on their Honeymoon and brought Cliff along with them. Who is Cliff? Well, Cliff is a toy stuffed Eagle and he blogs. (I will happily share Cliff’s blog once they are aware of what is headed their way… but I…

Quilty as charged
Yes, I know the title of this post is ridiculous. I didn’t have anything clever in my head… so I just rolled with it. Almost two years ago, I decided that I didn’t have enough hobbies so I started quilting. Well, actually.. I made two quilts. And then we moved…. and for months my sewing…

Stitchworks: My first quilt
Way back in the dark ages, I used to be a nut about sewing. When I was a kid, I used to make clothes for my Cabbage Patch Doll (does anyone remember when people went CRAZY to get those things?). I also used to take scraps from my mom’s sewing basket and piece them together…

Rumors of my death….
Things have been kinda quiet over here at Chez Kick’n Knit. I’ve been working on a ton of WIPS and don’t want to finish any of them… for realz. I have half a pair of “Like Jazz” done….this is a very underloved pattern by the way. It has a fascinating heel that gets rid of…

The Bees Knees
So I got this brilliant idea that I wanted to knit a pair of knee socks. I have no idea why. I mean, lets face it. I’m 38 and I work in a conservative business office. Also? I’m 38. Ah fuck it.. I’ll figure out someplace to wear them. I fell in love with this…
