Done. Blocked. Photographed. Pattern released. All done. And I love it. I love it more now than I did when I was knitting it. I got bogged down in the middle (low threshold for boredom, very, very low), but once I got past that part there was no stopping me. Just look at it on […]
Dave always complains when something strange looking grows in the yard, and I let it, when I won’t let him pull it out. I’m often rewarded, eventually, with a little plant-y surprise.
Like this thing. I’ve no idea what in the world it is. Dave says it’s a weed, and leaves it at that. From […]
Woot! It’s done. The ends are woven in. It’s blocking on the bed in the guest room. Hopefully tomorrow morning will dawn bright and sunny so I can get some good photos of it. In the meantime, you’ll have to be content with these. I love how it looks before blocking. The back, especially. The […]
What with all the business of naming this pattern, I figured I’d better get a move on, and get some knitting done on it. I pulled it out yesterday afternoon, and knit a few rows or so of the central portion before deciding that it would be really nice to know how much farther I […]
On Monday the Knit Knight crowd got together as usual, but we had a treat. Denise saw recently that the fine folk at ArtFibers are beginning to send kits around for a yarn tasting, sets of yarn with plenty to swatch with, so she signed us up. Monday was the day. Denise got there early […]
As usual, you all quite blow me away with your pattern name suggestions. I love them all. Thanks to the confusion of being able to post comments on pictures—a feature I have a love-hate relationship with—if you want to read the explanations for the suggestions you’ll find them in three places: here, here, and here. […]
Tons of progress made on the new red scarf pattern yesterday. I even got it wet and pinned it out last night before going to bed, to see how far I really am, and to make sure that the pattern will work as expected. I don’t know about you, but I think it’s a winner.
What […]
The last two seasons I’ve donated a pattern as a prize to the Seasons of Lace KAL. They opened it up this last time so that prize donors could also post their projects. Sometime during the course of the KAL I finally finished that dress I’d been working on for so long for my friend […]
When I was up visiting Mom, we drove over to Martinez for lunch one day, and to try to see where the controversial beavers are living in Alhambra Creek. You can read about some of what’s been happening since the beavers came to town here and here on their blog. There’s a small spot for […]
Just a couple quick things for you before I go back to bed. Yeah. Been up most of the night. Spent too much time with the old dust in the closet yesterday—my sinuses are suffering—but I got a lot done.
We have a clear winner in the naming poll: Midnight Garden. It also happens to […]
