In Lieu of Lambcam…

Posted on June 1, 2014 by | Comments Off on In Lieu of Lambcam…

Oh who am I kidding?  I’m not a great photographer or videographer and one hand is wrapped in a splint!  But here are some photos and videos of my evening at the farm last night.  Will post more this evening; hopefully I’ll be able to catch their playful antics.  Sadly, they’re more playful with the lambcam since they have no idea it’s there but when I come down, the babies run for their mommies and hide!

Cute Animal Fix of the Day

Posted on December 4, 2013 by | Comments Off on Cute Animal Fix of the Day

Sometimes on a Wednesday afternoon you just need a cute animal fix to get you through the rest of the day. Am I right? I think I’m right.

Well today’s cute animal fix comes in the form of a cat and bird. No, it’s not Tweety and Sylvester. It’s a cat and a Russian-speaking budgie. I watch this video with glee, since I think all cat owners have been where the cat is and it’s nice to get a little pay-back in the form of a determined bird. Watch and see what I mean!

Stella’s Nightly Capering

Posted on August 16, 2012 by | Comments Off on Stella’s Nightly Capering

For some reason, when the sun starts to go down, Stella has the irresistible urge to spring about the pastures on those new legs. It’s pretty much the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

How to Knit: Casting On

Posted on March 12, 2011 by | Comments Off on How to Knit: Casting On

These tutorials were originally posted at the Juniper Moon Farms blog. I want to thank Susie for letting me post on her terrific blog, and encourage you to go visit it - nothing beats Juniper Moon for photos of puppies, pigs, chickens, llamas .. and if you have a hankering, they are looking for a Farm Manager......

When Susie put out the all-call for possible blog contributors, she probably figured nobody would actually volunteer to embarrass themselves publicly on video demonstrating knitting done their way! Well, I figure, what the heck! So I am here laying out my knitting skills for all of you to see – please be gentle!

I really love teaching people how to knit, but what I really like is knowing why something works, or doesn’t work. Why are there umpteen million ways to cast-on, decrease, bind off? How is knitting constructed? Why do some ways to knit work better than others? I was taught by my mom, who was taught by her Aunt Addie, when I was pretty young, I don’t remember learning. I do know that I was a very successful knitter for many, many years without being able to follow certain lace or stitch patterns before I realized I knit “backwards”. I took a class and saw how my knitting was constructed differently, and presto- a light went off in my head and I became so much more aware of how knitting was actually constructed, stitch patterns were developed and why there are really no mistakes or wrong ways to knit.

Anyway, I plan on a series of videos, hopefully one set every month, which will show you not only how to do something, but why you are doing it that way, and why that way and not another way. I hope that will help de-mystify knitting, and make you not afraid of your knitting, and not a captive of instructions.

So, here we go, with the first four videos of Knitting According to Lisa: Casting On!

Long Tail Cast-On: the basic all-purpose cast-on edge

Crochet Cast-On: where you don’t run out of yarn and which you can also use to decorate a hanger

Knitting-On Cast-On: just how the heck do you cast on in the middle of your knitting?

Knitting On Stitches from Lisa Stockebrand on Vimeo.



Provisional Cast-On: my favorite because I tend to be hard on my knitting and this one does not fall out!
