Hello all! No new post today unfortunately - but check back next week for a new post, a new posting schedule, and an exciting (for me anyway) announcement. Until then, I hope you all have a safe and wonderful New Year! Casting off, Megan

Hi guys! Sorry about the complete lack of posting lately, but between the upcoming holidays, scrambling to finish Christmas gifts, and a serious illness in the family, I've been swamped. So I'm going to hold off posting until the first of the year on a Tuesday/ Thursday schedule- which will hopefully give me time to get things in order! And if I find a free moment I'll be posting my Top 5

Hi guys- No real post today as I'm working on listing a few new items for sale before the holidays. Be sure to  head over to my Etsy site and check them out! And check in on Wednesday though for my Top 5 Odd Geek Knitting Patterns. And if you're not already, be sure to follow me on either Twitter (@ScarfAceKnits) or Facebook - or both - to receive an extra special coupon good for

Hello all!  Sorry about the lateness of today's post - but I still managed to get it done! In tandem with Wednesday's post about where  to buy your yarn online, I thought I would share with you all out there in the knitverse my favorite places to find patterns online. Now books are fantastic source for patterns - as my poor over-worked bookshelves can attest to. But the

Like most of you knitters out there, I have a favorite local yarn store (or two, or three, or a dozen) that I buy my yarn from. But what do you do when you just can't find what you're looking for at any of the local shops? If you're anything like me, you turn to the great big wonder that is the internet. There are some fantastic places to buy yarn online, and there are some advantages to

 *pokes head out cautiosly* Hi all! Did you miss me? Sorry for the break, but between the holidays and a nasty cold that left me unwilling to do anything but sleep for about 16 hours a day, blogging was sadly low on my list of priorities. Yet never fear, I have kicked this cold to the curb and am back into the general swing of things - including knitting and blogging. Today I'm

Hi guys - I am really sorry about the lack of updates lately - but between the Holiday season and a viciously brutal cold, I have had almost no energy to put towards blogging. That said, I'm going to try and get my act together and come back full and strong next week with my regularly scheduled posts. Thanks so much for your understanding and I'll see you next week! Casting off, Megan

Ah, Thanksgiving. That special time of the year when Americans remind themselves of all the things they're thankful for, and stuff themselves full of Turkey, Dressing (Stuffing), Mashed Potatoes and Pumpkin Pie - which makes it different from other Thursday spent overeating pizza, fried chicken and french fires. In any case, in honor of this beloved national holiday, I give you five of the

Hello All! Sorry for the lack of an update on Friday, but with the holidays coming up and trying to finish a handful of scarves, I've been running around like a chicken with their head cut off. Anywho - instead of talking about what I'm currently working on, today I'm going to discuss what  happens after I finish knitting a scarf. That is the modeling, photo-taking and

Like most Americans, my mind is often turned toward food this time of year. Well, if I'm being honest, my mind is usually thinking about food at any time of the year, but even more so as the holidays approach. So, while next Wednesday's Top 5 post will focus on weird Thanksgiving patterns, this week's will look at some of the oddest patterns revolving around food. Now, weird and odd should not

Recently I was talking to one of my best friends E and her sister A, the wonderful and gorgeous women who model my scarves, and discussing when we would get together again to do another photo shoot. At this point, E's husband J piped up, and asked why he couldn't be a part of this fun. I should note that in return for modeling my scarves, I pay E and A handsomely with dinner and a movie, and

So here's a question that nearly all knitters ask themselves at one point or another (and for some of us it's asked quite a lot): What should I do with my yarn stash? For some this question may be more pressing than it is for others. In some cases, it's only a question of picking which color or which pattern to work on next. In other far more desperate case (myself included), in addition to

In this technology-driven and digital age, it's often easy to overlook the printed word as outdated and cumbersome. Now, I'll admitted I'm attached to my iPod, smartphone, and Kindle app as much as the next girl, but I still love the feel of paper beneath my fingertips and the sound a page makes as its turned. While the internet is a vast resource and a wealth of information, I  find

At some point in the last year, my grandmother found herself in a yarn store. As she is a frequent crocheter, this was not an entirely unusual circumstance. While at this store, she found a wonderful (and simple) pattern for a knitted vest. With nary a second thought, she bought the pattern and the required yarn - some very nice Plymouth Baby Alpaca Grande. The problem with this, however, was

As my bookshelves at home will attest to, I have a weakness for knitting books (well, all books really). Good or bad, new or old, I don't really care. I love reading new patterns and finding new techniques or just seeing what other people design. But, there is a major drawback to knitting books - they're all two dimensional. I almost always find it nearly impossible to learn how to do a new

In honor of this week's holiday (so I'm a bit behind - sue me) I've decided to post some of the oddest - and kinda creepy - Halloween knitting patterns I could find. Now, this is not to say these patterns are well made nor that those who made these items aren't incredibly talented - only that I think these are weird things to create a pattern for and then knit. This list isn't really in any

I'm a little new at this whole blogging thing so you're going to have to bear with me. I wanted to create this blog as a way to both chronicle my knitting adventures - including opening an Etsy shop - and to share with you all the many wonders and oddities of the knitting world. To this end I've set up a schedule of my blog posts. Mondays will be all about what I'm currently working on&
