I’ve picked out my first project—and the yarn from my stash—for the Summer of Socks, and I’ve ordered the yarn and beads for Mystery Stole 3. I don’t think it’ll be a problem waiting to start another pair of socks. I only have to wait until the 21st for that, and I’m still not quite […]
In some ways it feels like I’ve been knitting this shawl forever. In other ways, I can’t believe I’m done already, especially when I see how big it is. I know Dave’s glad I’m done with this one. I guess I complained a lot while knitting it.
Pattern: A Handsome Triangle, page 32, Victorian […]
It’s been washed.
Lovely blue water, isn’t it? Ick. I really should wash the unused half of the hank, but I re-wound it into a new ball instead. It can wait.
It’s been laid out.
My uncle called after I got the main pins in, so I was on the phone while pinning most of the crochet […]
As usual, I’m not following the pattern exactly as written. I seem to do that a lot. Hm. This time it’s because I don’t have the called-for size 15 knitting needles. The closest I could come is size 13. So, I cast on with those. Since the needles are a little smaller, I also increased […]
I had to get Dave’s help to finish this up, but finally it’s done.

That’s because it’s not quite done. That’s right. I finished casting off the Handsome Triangle shawl this morning. I’d hoped to get it blocked today, but that just didn’t happen. Tomorrow. I hope. If not, then this weekend.
Finishing the knitting part, though, means that I get to cast on for something new. I decided […]
It’s been a while since I shared any photos of the green shawl with you, mostly because though bigger, it really hasn’t changed in quite a while. But I finished off those last two rows last night, and started binding off. I’m getting close to the half-way point, and hope to get it done tonight. […]
Ravelry is definitely addicting. Most definitely looking forward to Friday when my Internet connection, thanks to Dave’s efforts, should be magically faster again.
Thanks to the slowness of the Internet connection, I’ve gotten quite a bit done on the third second forget-me-not sock. Only three repeats plus three rows left to do before the toe […]
Knitting things
I was browsing around a bit and saw this Elegantly Simple Baby Blanket pattern, free from Jackie E-S. Here are some other freebies from Jackie.
The forget-me-not socks are pretty well-behaved, but if I’d known about this a month or two ago some serious sock threatening would perhaps have made the Conwy socks go […]
I was going to say that I feel lazy this morning, but that’s wrong. No. I’m feeling restless. Sort of. I’m out of sorts. I don’t know what to do with myself. It’s been a weird week. I have no pictures of knitting, no pictures of gardening or stitching to share. I’d take some, but […]
