Wow, the last time I posted was last year. That's pretty lame. I have been knitting but haven't taken any pictures. I'm actually progressing nicely on my Keelin. I'm on the second front. This week Twist Collective announced a finish fest to encourage finishing those projects by February 1st. I would like to see this … Continue reading Something new
Keelin Progress
I'm not holding my breath that I'll finish Keelin by the end of November for NaKniSweMo. Regardless, I am having a great time knitting this sweater. At this point the back is about 10 inches long. I need to get to 13 before I start the sleeve decreases. The sweater has not been without its … Continue reading Keelin Progress
NaKniSweMo – Who knows?
So, before I knew it November rolled around again. NaNoWriMo is something that I became aware of a few years ago listening to CraftLit. Listening I also learned about Shannon Okey's NaKniSweMo in which knitters try to knit a sweater in one month. Two years ago I actually did it and knit Wendy Bernard's Tang … Continue reading NaKniSweMo – Who knows?
Right on track, for me at least
Well, as October rolled in, I decided it was a great chance to work on the socks I'd started in honor of Socktober. I also started to work on Through The Loops' mystery sock KAL.I haven't taken any photos of that, but I'm plodding along. Additionally, I had a hat on the needles that I … Continue reading Right on track, for me at least
Socktober!
Well, last I wrote about the Riverbed Architecture Socks that I'm making for Chad, I thought I had done the heel wrong. So, I tried knitting the second sock the way I thought it should work, and asked Chad to try it on. The first one fit much better (which I have to admit, if … Continue reading Socktober!
Socks – Must they Match?
So, I tried the second sock knitting based on my understanding of the pattern. Of course it looked A LOT different, and didn't fit as well as the first. Which actually was a good thing, because all I had to rip back was the heel. I have to admit a sense of relief that I … Continue reading Socks – Must they Match?
Failure to read
So, I was working my way through the second sock of the Riverbed Architecture socks that I'm working on and the time came to start the heel. So I read through the instructions twice, and realized that if I was reading them correctly this time, I'd done the first sock incorrectly. I didn't do the … Continue reading Failure to read
Motivation
This morning E and I went to yoga class. This is the third week we've done this, and we're really enjoying ourselves. It's nice to have something to do together that isn't going to the grocery store. One of the reasons we're doing it is in preparation for the winter. We ski. Last year I … Continue reading Motivation
Always greener.
Some days it seems like things look better on the other side. It's hard to get pictures of Hobbes. He's old and cranky. Calvin tends to fly around like a maniac and then pass out. Pictures of the two of them? This is the only one I have. I'm starting to think about winter knitting. … Continue reading Always greener.
Sweaters and such
So, the sweater I planned on finishing in November is still in process. Good progress has been made, I'm working on the second sleeve, so I know it will get finished. Whether or not it happens in time for this season is still up in the air. March has proven to provide wild temperature fluctuations, … Continue reading Sweaters and such
