NaKniSweMo finish

Tuesday, November 30, 2010

I did it. Even taking off a whole week of knitting, plus two days, and redesigning the sweater from the armholes up, I finished knitting it my NaKniSweMo project in the month of November. Here it is.

 

Okay, okay, I do have to weave in a few ends, but I’ll do that as soon as I’m […]

Alpenhorn and Edelweiss

Wednesday, November 24, 2010

I released two patterns this morning: Alpenhorn fingerless mitts, and Edelweiss socks. Yup. You’ve seen these designs before. Numerous times. As I’m sure you recall, they were designed to be kits for Posh Yarn, but when the kit thing didn’t work out, Dee and I agreed that I should release them on my own. So, […]

Vacation knitting

Tuesday, November 23, 2010

NaKniSweMo
My NaKniSweMo sweater is moving right along. Both fronts are done to the shoulders, and the back is only a couple inches away. I should be able to finish that, and start the first sleeve today. Assuming I get off my duff and start unraveling that first sweater, so I have enough yarn to continue. […]

Restarting

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

I have officially restarted the West Coast Swing cardi. In case I didn’t say so before, it’s knit from the hem up in one piece to the armholes where it splits for the back and fronts. That part is the same as before. I have 7,749 stitches done so far (27 rows of 287 stitches […]

False start, NaKniSweMo

Monday, November 1, 2010

The submissions are done. For now. They’re done in that they’ve been submitted. Both of them. Now we wait and see what happens. In the meantime, there’s been knitting afoot…
False Start
There are false starts, and then there are false starts. Don’t get me wrong, I love, love, ♥ both this yarn and stitch pattern, but […]
