Needle Notes

Eldest son was pleased with his Cobblestone.






Cobblestone #3 by Jared Flood is in progress.

Barrett Wool Co Woolen Spun in Rain Shower colorway.


Modifications: Knitting Workshop by Elizabeth Zimmermann. Check out project notes on Cobblestone #1. Great retreat knitting. I had big plans to finish the body up to the armholes and get a sleeve or two in as well but that did not happen. I think I have about 10” on the body and will go to 17”.


Northeasterly by Melissa Alexander-Loomis. I’m on 4 out of 10, maybe 12.

Repair, actually modifying Odette Hoodies for girls. Odette Hoodie by Carrie Bostick Hoge.

October 2018
I modified it as a pullover per DIL’s request. They have worn these little hoodies so much and it makes me so happy. Sticks and twigs embedded in wool. I washed them both first.

Both sweaters needed length in body. About 3 “.

Knitted from bottom up and in the round. If they had been knitted in pieces, I would just knit new sweaters.

Process: Will add photos as I go.


  • ·        Where side seam would be, snip one stitch above the ribbing. Very handy to know how you weave in ends. Try to avoid that area. All joins were done using the felted method also called spit join.

  • ·        Start picking out the row. You can secure stitches if you want but not really necessary as the wool is slightly felted and wants to stay put. Pick out the row all the way around. You now have two pieces.

  • ·        Now you have two separate pieces:

1.       The ribbing and several rows above it.

2.       Top of sweater with sleeves attached.


  • ·        Pick up all the stitches on piece 1 so you will be knitting upwards. Make sure you retrieve all the stitches and have them mounted properly or knit them properly on the first round.

  • ·        Knit upwards the desired number of inches to length. Use leftover wool from project or incorporate another color and texture.

  • ·        Use Kitchener Stitch to join bottom section to top sections. This process took me longer than I thought it would because I’m pretty fast at Kitchener Stitch. First put front of sweater on one long circular needle and back stitches on another. These do not have to be the size that you used for knitting the sweater. I felted the new piece of yarn for Kitchener stitch.

My DIL said it wouldn’t bother her that the dye lot is different so I could leave as is. In order to blend in new color or dyelot:

1.       Add a big pocket, small side pocket or two side pockets.

2.       Embellish with embroidery or both.

What are your thoughts?

My sister and I off to Maine Retreat!

Traveling with my sister is THE BEST!


Sue with her Skagen Shawl at Show and Tell


Show and tell is always a highlight.
Leslie showed an heirloom sweater she had knitted for her father.

Thank our mini-workshop volunteers:


  • ·        Jan Hamby aka Twinsetjan did beeswax wraps. If you have not seen these yet, they are made of cloth and covered with a solution of beeswax and a few other ingredients. You use them instead of cellophane, aluminum foil and save on waste. Very popular and Jan had to bring a lot of materials to do the workshop too.


  • ·        Kathy aka woolyeyes demonstrated brioche to eager learners. Might have shown helical knitting also.


  • ·        Jo aka qwiltnknitnut taught us how to make shawl closures with buttons and hair elastics. Thank you to Angela Loomis for donating her beautiful pottery buttons!



  • ·        Beverly did a trunk show of dolls and animals she has knitted from patterns by various designers. We were so enchanted by ALL of them and some of us might have bought a “few” books and patterns. I immediately came home and looked at Susan B Anderson’s books that I already own and immediately saw some patterns that I had intended to make but had lost in the shuffle. If you go to the show blog there are photos of Beverly’s display. You can look at her projects on Ravelry. She is bszen. I’ve linked to her projects page.




  • ·        Shetland Trip by Sue, Pat, and Debbie.

Thank you to all of you!

Flower Garland: Total surprise to me because I did not look at the thread that said Paula stay out. Flowers of all shapes and sizes, pumpkins, a pickle. Totally whimsical and I LOVE it! I think of all of you knitting positive thoughts and prayers into it and I feel very humbled and full of gratitude.



Shopping trip.
Lots of good food, walks to town, walks along the beach and nature preserves, vendor fair, visit to Knit Wit in Portland, a visit to Camp Wool which is always a highlight, walk to Mornings in Paris for a coffee, tea, croissant or all 3, and best of all knitting outside on the front porch with some of my favorite people!

October by Robert Frost

1874-1963




O hushed October morning mild,

Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;

To-morrow's wind, if it be wild,

Should waste them all.

The crows above the forest call;

To-morrow they may form and go.

O hushed October morning mild,

Begin the hours of this day slow,

Make the day seem to us less brief.

Hearts not averse to being beguiled,

Beguile us in the way you know;

Release one leaf at break of day;

At noon release another leaf;

One from our trees, one far away;

Retard the sun with gentle mist;

Enchant the land with amethyst.

Slow, slow!

For the grapes' sake, if they were all,

Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,

Whose clustered fruit must else be lost—

For the grapes' sake along the wall.





Have a great week! Haste ye back and hold your knitting close!

  1. This was a wonderful podcast, Paula, and it's lovely to see your photos on this blog.
    I've posted the Maine Slideshow on the Ravelry Maine Retreat Chatter thread. Do you want me to post it anywhere else? Would your blog pick it up? I don't know. It's a Smilebox creation.
    So good to hear your voice on the podcast!

  8. Omg I Finally Got Helped  !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman  and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out..  I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact  Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp +2347012841542

  9. I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com

  10. Life has not been easy with me after my marriage was broken when my husband filled for a divorced but I thank God for using LORD ZAKUZA who's like a God on Earth to get my broken marriage restored with his powerful spell. I suffered for depression for 6 months but today, I am so happy for getting to know LORD ZAKUZA for his spell has really made me to believe that of a truth spells are real and they work. I adhered to every bit of instructions given to me by LORD ZAKUZA for he promised me that he will make me happy and proud and really, all that happened and my husband came back to me with his knees on the ground begging me for forgiveness within 48 hours after I got in touch with him and now we are perfectly bonded again for life. I can boldly say to everyone out there that LORD ZAKUZA spells is really the best and most powerful. I'm forever grateful to him till the end of time. So, you can get connected with him on WhatsApp/Call with this number +1 (740) 573-9483.
