So we’re back. Yes, I took three kids with just me to lovely Morro Bay, CA, about 12 miles North of San Luis Obispo and maybe 1/2 an hour South of San Simeon, where Hearst Castle is. My friends T and A (oh, how cute! ) from MD are still in […]
P.S. I’m an idiot. (Yes, that song “American Idiot” is playing in my head.) Shannon, I should have trusted you. I thought, what the hell, I’ll open up the seam I already did on the sides of A.Lo’s sweater and see if the huge-looking sleeve fits it. It does. So now […]
Finally, my Portland and knitting update. Just in time for another trip!
So I came into Portland at 10:30 pm Christmas Day. I had an interesting flight — while I was waiting for my flight from San Francisco I was knitting one of many sleeves for A.Lo’s sweater, and another knitter came […]
It’s officially a vest. More tomorrow.
So I’m preparing for my trip to Portland. I generally enjoy travelling but I do it so little since we had kids that I’m kind of stressed out right now. I also have no idea what my friends’ cell phone number is, if they are going to meet me at the airport, or if […]
Not much knitting today, since BR’s family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve, but I was able to finish my 3rd fingerless mitt:
I think this set will be going to my SFIL because BR tried the last attempt on and said he wanted fingerless _gloves_ so I have to figure out how to get the finger […]
So is it crazy that for a 2+ day trip to Portland I’m thinking of bringing 3 UFOs? I thought I’d get farther on BR’s fingerless mitts, but I did one yesterday and he thought it should be a bit shorter, and I didn’t like the pattern I made up all that much. […]
At the point where I have no idea what I’m working on (maybe I should get computer literate enough to add a list on the sidebar?!), I really need a reminder, so here goes:
1) BR’s fingerless mitts, due Saturday
2) A.Lo’s sweater, due next week?
3) Katrina Rib … sooo close to being done!
4) 7 x 7 […]
Another FO! This is right up there with my quickest completed project, I’m happy to say. Maybe only the acorn hat was faster. I sent the fingerless mitts off with my dad today. I hope they aren’t too big for him.
I made them very similar to Carolyn’s pattern, and I don’t really […]
Barely time for a quick, quick post. At knitting tonight I finished one of these and wasn’t sure it would fit, but it fits BR’s hand perfectly (I hope he wasn’t too upset when I told him it wasn’t for him ) so I can move on to the left one. If […]
