In theory, it's all about the fiber – knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning – but really, it's all about my life.
So, do you remember back in July, when I was madly knitting on those three dragons for our friends’ little boy? Well, I did deliver them in July, but didn’t get a picture. And Karin’s camera was broken, so she couldn’t get them. I got an email from her last night, including pictures of the [...]
It’s Thursday, and I promised handspun pictures for Monday. I didn’t end up getting Kris to take pictures this weekend, because we were busy setting up his new fishtank. He upgraded to a 75-gallon tank. Once it cycles and he gets some more fish in there, I’ll post pictures of that. And I know, I [...]
Got some pictures tonight when Kris got home from work. And seriously – this pattern is ridiculously addictive. I’m so in love with it, and as soon as I pulled with one off the blocking wires, my first thought was “Oh my God, it’s awesome. Amanda picked FAB colors!” The second? “I need to make [...]
… *whoooooooooo* There. That should get the dust off this puppy. As it was so subtly pointed out to me by someone on Googlechat last night, it’s been two weeks since my last blog entry. I didn’t plan for it to go that long, but sometimes life has other plans, you know? So, since we [...]
It’s freaking ADDICTIVE! I so enjoyed making the first one that now I want to do another. And I think I’ve decided to. I’ve decided to use up some of my stash of Socks that Rock Lightweight to make a nice big version of the Charlotte’s Web – still five colors, but more repeats in [...]
But first, a FO! It’s the amazing 8-day Charlotte’s Web Shawl! I started this on Saturday, 8/25 at Loop with Amy and the Knitties (hey, it’s a new band!), and finished it up Sunday 9/2. The colors in this aren’t great, but it gives you an idea of the shape, anyway. I was amazed at [...]
So, at my knitting group meetup on Thursday, I finished the Log Cabin Baby Blanket! Amanda even took a shot of me being triumphant with her camera phone: (And yes, I am fully aware that I look like a complete dork) This gives a better idea of the colors: I ended up using 1 ball [...]
So, I finally got to start the Mystery Stole. I didn’t have a chance this weekend, because we had a friend of ours visiting, so I waited to cast on until Monday night at my once-a-month knitting group. I made it most of the way through chart A while I was there, and finished up [...]
But before we get to my ramblings about DWTS, we have socks!! Recently, Cristi published her Red Dwarf Socks pattern. Since I had some fabbo STR Heavyweight from MDS&W, I knew the two were made for each other. I cast on last Monday night at my monthly SnB and finished them up (after two days [...]
You got ‘em! First – my Chrysanthemum Tea Shawl from Amazing Crochet Lace. This is a FABULOUS book. If you crochet, you really should give it a look. Blocking: Artfully draped over, er, a box: And now, semi-knitting FO. I went to Ikea (Ah, how I love thee…) last Friday night (while Kris was working [...]
