I am starting to feel really stressed out about all the swaps I joined, and when things are due! And I thought I was cutting back! Here’s what I already have matches for:
Dye-O-Rama
Knittyboard SP7
One Skein Secret Pal
Is that it? I thought there were more, since my email box is getting more and more full, which [...]
So not only did I get to go knitting yesterday but I made out on the Mother’s Day gifts! First I got these:
(Can you see the cute blonde hair and dark eyebrows? All natural … I also love the “My mom is special because she knits things for people …”)
Then I come home today [...]
Help! I need self control! I’m trying so hard not to buy this but it is so gorgeous! Remember, I have $50 worth of acid dyes coming my way (these colors, too) and don’t have $30 to spend on yarn. But I want to!
Happy Mother’s Day!
So, I’d better like this yarn dyeing thing — I just ordered $50 worth of acid dyes (not counting the yarn) while I’m worrying about spending $20 for a Mom’s Night Out later this week! I did like the Kool Ade dyeing that I have done before, but I got dyed out [...]
I’ve been doing tons of knitting this week (not much to show from it, however) so I haven’t had a chance to write about it. That, and you know I’m not a fan of discussing “secret” knitting. So I won’t.
Speaking of which, lots of knitting means lots of TV. I’ve decided in the past couple [...]
I’m in the Dye-O-Rama swap, and we just came up with some questions to answer (a.k.a. a meme), so here goes:
Your favorite colors?
red, black, hot pink
Preferred yarn weight (Fingering, Sport, DK, maybe even Worsted)?
fingering
Do you prefer solid or multicolored yarn?
surprise me.
If your buddy is able to do so, would you like a variegated, self-striping, or [...]
Corkscrew Scarf
Originally uploaded by elspethm.
My Spanish has seriously disintegrated since 9th grade. But today, on Cinco de Mayo I completed this scarf for my LYS. It did corkscrew much better in the middle because you were turning the needles more, but not as much in the [...]
Oh why couldn’t Maryland Sheep and Wool be in June? Or farther away from June — I’m going to be in New York City and Maryland in June and therefore can’t make the cross country trek 2 months in a row. But I’m so jealous of those of you who can! (Am I being greedy [...]
All done with my Sockapaloooza socks. At least I did better than I did with the Knitting Olympics — this time they’re done on time!
P.S. I submitted this sock pattern, heard absolutely nothing and the magazine that shall remain nameless just came out, so here it is for you, if you’re interested.
Well, after much thought, I decided to stay here at Blogger for the time being. I had wanted to use Wordpress to design a new blog/website but I just don’t have the time to do it right right now, so I figured I would get a site at Wordpress. What I didn’t realize was that [...]
