I *finally* finished my mittens I started “last year” for my friend. I made one, then I got motivated to do other things, and I finally finished a second. Of course it has the same problem many of my mittens have, that it’s too small:
but at least it’s done and a pair. […]
Well, not really. I didn’t have that much yarn left over from a 50-60 yard skein of Montana, but I did make two “hand warmers” that actually fit, but don’t cover the parts of my hands that actually get cold. They’re a fashion accessory, like Madonna wore, right?
Next up I’m finishing the second […]
As you might remember, I have been at the movie theater 5 times in the past couple of weeks:
Sweeney Todd
Juno
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Charlie Wilson’s War
The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything
and of course at the movies you need knitting, right? Stockinette knitting? So of course I had to start a new project. […]
I know that once you move (back) to California you lose all your cold tolerance, but this ridiculous! It was 40 degrees this morning and I wanted to walk outside but I was too cold!
Most every afternoon I go to the park and have been knitting recently. Yesterday, however, I forgot my jacket and […]
Just don’t look in my yarn closet, where my WIPs are hiding. But I have been finishing the mitten projects I’ve started in December and January. I started this one relatively recently, out of one skein of Patons Rumor. I tried to cable the cuff but gave up on the first one, […]
I was just updating my stash lists on LiveJournal and Ravelry, and I was beginning to think that I didn’t have any yarn left (even though I still have a closet full), but when I tallied it up on Ravelry it came up to … 612 skeins! How scary! And I’ve been actively trying to […]
Unfortunately OR got my lazy gene as well. Anyway, I was making mittens for my friend Lisa. I made one on the way to and from Maryland. Then I tried to make a second, but it was too small, so I made it into a fingerless mitt. Then I made a […]
I’ve been into making mittens this year (I still haven’t finished the 3 pairs I want to make for my friends, scarily enough), but my startitis combined with that pattern calls for quite a few stitch holders. I have 4 or so, and they’re currently in use.
Today I decided I was going to take […]
So we finally have the rain we have needed for years (I remember two years of a lot of rain since I had my kids, and that’s about it), but it is such a pain! First of all our city was officially designated a flood risk, so we were required to get flood insurance. […]
I’m a bit late (I’m really dragging this week after staying up 24 hours for New Year’s Eve while travelling back from Maryland to California), but here is what I can recall of what I completed this year:
Red Scarf 2007
Red Scarf 2007b
9 squares for blanket project
Second Swap Syndrome II sock
Purple Haze socks for Sock-ret Pal
C.Lo’s […]
