Grandi notizie! Sono adesso membro di Italia di Squadra nel Lavorare a maglia Olimpico 2006!
Anche, alcuni mettono da parte il miglioramento. Tento attivamente di lavorare a maglia da mette da parte, mentre aggiungendo anche a esso. Ciò è cosí sbagliato? Ho preso due colori diversi di Wildfoote di Pecora Marrone, che spero usare per alcuno […]

So I couldn’t help myself. I was totally against the Knitting Olympics, then Trek mentioned the Sock Team just as Lu mentioned Team Italy and I had to join in. (I’m also [un?]officially in the Special Knitting Olympics, and I’ll start a different project for that. I’m in it for the hugs at […]

This is definitely my week! You have got to see what my Secret Pal (7) sent me:
Can you believe this? Gorgeous red and black Opal sock yarn (if I hadn’t bought that Sassenach yarn last week this would be the most gorgeous sock yarn ever), Knit Picks Shimmer, lots of chocolate (I think, it disappeared […]

I’m on a roll! I finished up A.Lo’s Banana Fish sweater last night. It ended up being my own cable/wave design with set in plain sleeves and used up 3 skeins of my Cotton Ease stash (does that put me down to 4 skeins?):

I made out! Look what my Knitty Mellow SP sent me:
I have been eyeing this book since it came out. Guess what I’m going to work on first:
I just love backseamed stockings. That’s basically what I was going for with my tattoos and back when they weren’t that popular (that is, only in certain […]

As I think IM is now saying: “All done!”. From this:
To this in about 15 min:
I was questionable when I got done knitting, but it finished so well and my LYS’ owner was very impressed! I was sad to hear the fingerless mitts had been given to someone else to do, but this project […]

I (along with many other knitters, I think) am going sock crazy this year. I have ordered lots of sock yarn to go with the approximately 17 skeins of sock yarn I already have (a small sock yarn stash, I know) and many sock books. I’m still working on Peaks N Valleys, and next […]

I’m getting to the point where I might consider myself a slow knitter. I’ve been working away on this Lotorp Bag with only two skeins of Noro Kureyon (I doubt I’ll have enough, even) and I’m still not done with the two skeins! I plan to go into my LYS when I am out […]

What a day. I awoke at 3 am to the dying sounds of a rat in our attic (sorry to any animal lovers out there but we have had the exterminator out to get rid of our rats), then at 5 am noticed an email from the “crazy lady” at our school. Long […]

I’m a professional knitter! Sort of …
We have a new LYS, and never one to miss a “grand opening” I had to stop by this morning. The owners are really nice, and IM was pretty good even though I was there for maybe an hour.
Anyway, they were looking for people to help them knit […]
