In theory, it's all about the fiber – knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning – but really, it's all about my life.
That’s right – I finished her up last night!
I even managed the grafting at the end of the tubular cast-off on the second try. That’s a fairly huge accomplishment for me.
It goes beautifully with my new shawl pin that I bought at Stitches this year.
I really like the way it fits.
Plus, it’s really, really [...]
You know, it’s amazing what you can get done when you actually sit down and do it. During rehearsal Friday night, I bound off the front edge of the first half of Carmelo. After a weekend of trying to stay out of Kris’s way while he was working on NaNoWriMo (still going!), I am here:
That’s [...]
Seriously. Ok, first, thank you for the lovely compliments on the sweater – I adore it, and Kris is really thrilled with it. Bonus – he wore it all day yesterday, and so far, no pilling! Yay! And Yorkie, I must correct you a bit – I saw him first, my dear. But I’m sure [...]
NaNoWriMo08… still in process.
Explaining to Meeko that claws + sweater = repercussions for the owner of said claws.
Plotting the placement of the shed.
Squinting at the sun (it was the only shot I got of the collar. )
Chatting with Lola.
I’m really thrilled with how it came out, and Kris loves it. It’s soft, it’s [...]
That’s right – it’s DONE! I finished the knitting yesterday morning, wove in the last of the ends last night, and it’s soaking now. I’m hoping it dries quickly so that I can get some good modeled shots of it tomorrow. In the meantime:
And now, I think I’m crazy enough that I’m going to attempt [...]
OK, one-SLEEVED, technically.
Finished up the first sleeve at knitting today. I’m hoping to get the second one done tomorrow – I might actually have a NaKniSwe1/2Mo!
We have sleeveage! Ok, the start of sleeveage, anyway.
I’ve decreased from 72 to 58 stitches on the first sleeve, and I need to get to 30 before I start the ribbing. I finished up the hem at the bottom a couple of days ago, and I’m very happy with how it came out. I think [...]
So, this weekend was the final Stitches East in Baltimore (it moves to Hartford next year, I believe), and therefore probably my last year to attend. There weren’t any classes that really grabbed me this year, so I just went up for the Market. I got up bright and early on Friday, and met Carrie [...]
No, not me – iTunes. Have you iTunes users played with this at all yet? I just started today. I’ve had the new version for a while, but my verrrrrrry sloooooooow laptop was annoying me. I went and got more memory for it, and things are moving much faster, which makes me happy. It also [...]
I am sooooooo close to splitting off the sleeves. Yay!
And it looks like hubby likes it, too. Even if he is slightly blurry (I blame lack of light at 5:30 in my living room, not lack of skill by the photographer) And yes, you will notice he has significantly less hair than he did on [...]
