Absolutely pathetic. Nearly a week between blog posts. Gak! I’ve been knitting. When I’ve had time. The stole is getting big. I’ve started the faun’s eyes, but only just. Haven’t knit on it at all since Monday. Mom’s in town on a tour thing, staying in a nearby hotel. She skipped the tour schedule yesterday, […]
I liked knitting the Tenaya mitts so much that I decided another pair was in order. I was having so much fun knitting the last pair of socks, that I thought matching mitts would be just the thing. A new pattern was born—Sugar Push—and is currently being test knit by the lovely Jocelyn. They knit […]
As you no doubt figured out from yesterday’s brief post, we are home again. Yea! I have a few more photos from Vegas to share with you before we get to the knitting. First up: Dave in the little tiny kitchen in our suite. Next: our view at night. As nice as it is to […]
I’m here. Honest I am. It feels like years have gone by since I posted. I’ve been knitting and pattern-writing like there’s no tomorrow. I even have pictures! Alas, just no time to post. I’ll be back soon. Hopefully even tomorrow.
I’ve never enjoyed hot weather. Not even when I was a kid. Well, especially not then, as I grew up in an area that got quite warm, and we didn’t have an air conditioner. Dad and I would go to a local high school pool and go swimming to cool off… when he had the […]
I actually have progress pictures for you—first time in ages! Let’s start with Algernon. The second one is almost done. I guess you can tell by this what decision I came to yesterday. Yup. Gotta finish the sock. How could I not? So close! If I’d been more awake last night I would have just […]
Yup. I’m in Vegas right now. With Dave, of course. We’re here to use up some timeshare points before they expire, so it’s not so much a vacation as a change of venue. Three laptop computers on the dining room table, a high-speed Internet connection, plenty of air conditioning, and we’re in like flint.
Once […]
I was looking at Mim’s blog this morning, and saw this: Ruth is gathering information regarding the amount of yarn used to knit a sock round. Send her your numbers, and she’ll enter you in her contest.
I ripped out that ghastly knitting experiment that I showed you the other day. I have all new […]
I have to say that I’m very glad I took Dave’s advice on Saturday, and left the house nearly two hours before I was due to meet Anne, Kim (sadly blogless), and Jocelyn in Encinitas for lunch, a little knitterly companionship and fun. Encinitas is a small coastal town about 20 miles north of San […]
I have a couple more Dulcavina pictures for you. The first one is with the sides and end pulled out and pinned down. Before taking the second picture I pulled out all the pins, picked up the end of the stole, “fluffed” it, laid it down again, and then took the picture. I’m booking right […]
