I’m getting nowhere on my Silk Corset. I am sorely tempted to start another project or two, but then I think I’ll just get further behind. And I think knitting time is only going to be worse when I start school up again in the fall (well 2 weeks — where did the [...]
Damn top down raglans. I’ve never done one before and all of a sudden every pattern I do (okay, two of them) are based on top down raglans. So you’ve got the “front” then the “back” then the other “front”. I may have finally gotten my Silk Corset down, though, after emailing [...]
Recently I started a new blog, where I listed my few yarns I was destashing. It’s not much, but check it out just in case:
Destashing!
I got to make room for all that red and black (non chunky) yarn!
So I got two hours “off” today (that is, with only one kid). I spent most of them at Michael’s returning and JoAnn’s just looking around. BTW, they have Cotton Ease at our local JoAnn’s — the orange and yellow they had at Tuesday Morning! And it was more expensive ($3/skein) than at [...]
What a day! I’m sitting around surfing the web (sure, with three kids home for the summer I’m sitting around eating bon bons all day …) when the mailman came by with this:
I was extremely surprised and so excited I even braved OR’s running outside to check the mail. I did get three orders [...]
I really should have just gone to the gym tonight (or this morning). BR and I were offered babysitting by my MIL but he decided he didn’t feel like doing anything (so of course we didn’t do anything) and since he was in a mood I had to watch the kids. Just like every [...]
Sorry for the recent lack of pictures, I’ve been spending my evenings at the gym and when I get home BR is around and will harass me for taking pictures of my knitting (he was really anti-camera until we had kids anyway).
Even though we drove to S.F. for the Academy of Sciences’ Exhibition on Chocolate, [...]
So I made my second trip to GoodWill in the past 5 years today (I am so out of practice, and I had to bribe the kids with cookies from Cookies By Design to go) with the hopes of finding either a stash of yarn (no luck) or a sweater that I could pull apart [...]
Am I cheating if I join Shannon’s Black Sheep knitalong, and use my in-process Black Rowan Cork Minisweater as my project?
If not, I know I’ll be starting a black t-shirt (Tivoli? the one from Elann I bought the Endless Summer in black for?), since that’s all I wear.
Sure, I could restart the Silk Corset [...]
Damnit! Buttonholes! I just realized after all the knitting I did last night that I forgot to keep doing the buttonholes! So I added one today and I’m just going to cut them in later or something like that. There is no way I’m going to frog back for that. So I did [...]
