Great news! I figured out my Tivoli and am feverishly working on it. Even though I got gauge I’m still not sure if it’s going to work out or not, but we’ll see.
I finished my paper at 2 am so now I’m exhausted. No more knitting tonight, but maybe tomorrow.
P.S. Two signs the [...]
I am sooo screwed with my Tivoli. Even though I, like Barbie, think math is hard, I plotted out where I should be at each increase row and I think I’m off. I really hate to pull it out indescriminantely since I don’t even know how far to go back and make it [...]
Not one stitch of knitting done today. I did lug my knitting to the park, and attempt to determine how many stitches my Tivoli is supposed to have right now, but no actual knitting done. That being said, we had a great party for IM’s first birthday. Way too much cake, though. [...]
My Tivoli is f—-d. I lost a stitch marker, then I was trying to knit at the park today at a birthday party (with no cake — sacriledge!) and make sure OR didn’t get trampled and pulled out some of my knitting near the beginning of the round. I spent some time today [...]
I’ve been working on my Katrina (”Redd Kross”) Rib all day, so I’m doing okay, but lots of ribbing to go. Actually I just got a collection of old Vogue Knittings (well, 1998-2001 or so) and there was a sweater that looked similar that I liked but then I thought, do I really want [...]
The KR rumors are true: Tuesday Morning has more yarn, specifically Gedifra and Trendsetter yarns. I was trying to remember the types and colors from the San Mateo, CA Tuesday Morning, but basically I saw a couple of bulky Gedifra yarns and a couple of ribbony Trendsetter yarns. The prices were per ball, [...]
I’d like to say I got a lot of knitting done today, but I was mostly rushing around, trying to exercise, picking up kids, eating raisin toast (damned CostCo!), and going to the park. I did get some photos of my WIP, except IM’s blanket, where the photo was really washed out and I’m [...]
Yeah! I got provisional cast on help from Cookie, the pattern writer and am moving along on my Katrina Rib. Of course now I have the second sleeve provisional to do … not a problem I’m sure.
I’m also getting somewhere on my Raglan Tansy Tee, I’m about 4 stripe repetitions done on the back. [...]
So I’m stuck at that “p” word in the Katrina Rib pattern: provisional cast on. I hate it. On to another project, I always say.
I also started Tivoli this weekend. I got gauge with Endless Summer Lara from elann.com (and not for the eyelet shirt pattern they advertise with the yarn!) but it [...]
As promised, here is my summary of the Full Thread Ahead Launch Party. At least I think that’s what it was called. First, no food. I was disappointed, but I guess the main focus was supposed to be on the yarn. Yes, at birthday parties I’m all about the cake.
In any case, [...]
