What a day. From taking IM to the doctor and having to take him straight on to the hospital to get blood drawn (he is only 11 mos. so it was scary, but he just has a low iron level, he’s fine) to listening to Air America all day and being incredibly depressed about […]
It was another one of those days:
And what a surprise! Sure, I’ve bought more yarn recently, but I swear, I’m just giving a good home to other people’s yarn! Caitlyn had some extra Cotton Ease and I only have 4 skeins of Cherry Red Cotton Ease to begin with. It’s discontinued you know:
Then […]
When in doubt, start a new project, right? As I was restarting Soleil for the third time (and for those counting, I restarted the Silk Corset 3 times also), I remembered that I had matched the Classic Elite Venue gauge to another project, the Raglan Tansy Tee from Cast On, Spring 2005 (the cover […]
I am going to scream. I have been working on my Soleil for over a week, lugging the damn cone of yarn around, and damned if I don’t think that I twisted the yarn when I was joining it into a round **again**!!!! I know I checked it when I first recast on and […]
Okay, okay, since BR is at work (got to love those software companies), here is a picture of my Nuit in progress:
I just got past the lace border. I don’t know if I’ll know for sure, but having tons of work (I can only work when the kids are in bed, usually) definitely keeps […]
Still plugging away at my Nuit (Soleil). Unfortunately today I had more work to do so I couldn’t do much knitting much less carry the cone around just in case. BR thought I was crazy and said so last weekend when I brought the cone with us to the grocery store and park […]
I am so tired. IM woke up at midnight, just as I was getting to bed after working, uh, surfing the knitting blogs. Then he proceeds to refuse to sleep until 2:30 am! Miraculously he didn’t wake back up until 6:30 unlike his usual 4-5 am so I wasn’t a total basket case […]
I really want to be working on my Nuit (Soleil), Silk Corset, and even IM’s baby blanket since he’ll be 1 in less than a month and I actually took it out yesterday at knitting because I didn’t bring him and his stroller and couldn’t lug my cone of yarn around! I also swatched […]
I haven’t documented my knitalongs in awhile so I may as well:
A Good Bias: On the back burner. I haven’t gotten back to it, but I do plan to.
Baby KAL: still working on IM’s baby blanket, and now I have 9 skeins of Pineapple Cotton Ease with which to make a blanket or sweater […]
There are those who might say I need more yarn like I need a hole in my head (why is that expression coming out of my mouth a lot more lately? Hmm.), like me, but I have more yarn! I ordered a couple of things off Ebay:
5 balls of grey Filatura di Crosa Brilla, […]
