Did I mention I was doing some spring cleaning? I found lots of red yarn, and even photographed some of my collection that wasn’t documented. Have you seen this Schaefer Miss Priss in Clara Barton I got from Full Thread Ahead?
How about this Arucania Nature Wool I got from my yarn pusher, I mean Little […]
Well, I’ll be damned. We were away this weekend and I got back to my new issue of Interweave Knits. I was flipping through it and saw this:
Look familiar?:
Apparently Karen Baumer and I chose the same stitch pattern to use for our socks. And I was planning on submitting the pattern for publication. I […]
Still hard at work on my 2 Olympics project (regular and “Special”). I’m doing pretty well on both, actually. I checked in at my LYS today and gave them a status on the Crystal Palace fingerless gloves:
And Amy was nice enough to help me detangle my yarn so I got some knitting done on my […]
President’s Day status: I finished one of my fingerless gloves! The thumb gusset is actually pretty interesting, but I just hate the Crystal Palace Merino Frappe. And like socks, I have to make another one now!
Speaking of socks, I am still very much at the starting point on my Jaywalkers. And I’m not loving the […]
I should have time to take pictures today, but I don’t. I wasted yet another day and have barely started my third version of my Olympics project! I decided to just start the Jaywalkers after all with my Ruby Slippers Socks that Rock (I guess I really am a follower, since so many people have […]
The good news: I went to Stitches West! And I randomly ran into my former coworker from the job from hell (the one on an actual Indian burial mound! Who knew?!)!
I actually had to leave early because I felt so guilty about the amount of yarn I bought! I skipped an entire row of vendors […]
I’m finally done! Here is my Katrina Rib, started in September, and if you remember I was going to finish in a weekend!
It actually does fit but since I’m approximately 40 lbs. overweight I felt fat in it so I won’t post a photo of me wearing it, but I will eventually! The top […]
The greatest button ever (stolen from Rox, the Fearless Knitter):
How could you be depressed with all this gorgeous yarn (and supplies)? If you had to deal with what I did (I can’t be more specific, unfortunately) you would. When I could fall asleep last night I dreamt of sock yarn. So when I couldn’t get back to sleep I tried to remember the […]
I’m having a horrible week. Today I had to go to DL’s performance in Oakland. BR and I usually stagger these (he went last year and now it was my turn, but I should have made him go), because someone has to watch the younger kids, and the performance is usually really boring. I made […]
