Chris saw my finished Green Gable sweater over on the Red Sweater KAL. I took a couple photos of it, and thought I’d share them here as well. I have no idea any longer when I knit this sweater. Years ago. And, yes, you see correctly, the poor cardigan still has no buttons. I’m horrible! […]
Charged
My camera battery went kaput. Twelve months, two weeks after purchase. For the last week I’ve had to drag the cord around, able only to take pictures when the thing was actually plugged into the wall. I found a new battery on eBay late last week—it’s truly amazing what can be had there—for less than […]
No. I know. Sweatering isn’t a word. But maybe it should be. I dunno. Hey Deb, Whatcha been doing lately? Sweatering. Says it all, doesn’t it? To find out more about my sweatering, you need to visit the Red Sweater KAL.
Errant
In the meantime, no, I haven’t been making much progress on the socks. […]
I took my knitting over to the window, like I always do because the light’s better over there. I was snapping away, looked up, and look who I saw. She’s a marvelous helper. I love the expression on her pretty face… “What are you doing, Mom. That camera isn’t going to flash in my face […]
A glitch? I’m afraid it might be. I think I did too many decreases too closely together. I want more decreases through the torso than the pattern calls for, but I think I might need to spread them out more.
The pattern calls for two stitches to be decreased five times with two plain rows […]
Yesterday, November 1st, began the annual NaNoWriMo challenge—where lots of marginally crazy people try to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. What do you think about that idea? Crazy? Inspired? Challenging? Yes. I think it’s crazy, inspired, and challenging. And I’m totally rooting for Kim, who played last year, made her goal, and […]
My knitting and stitching projects are growing, that is.
Errant Ankles socks
As I suspected, my red sweater has been taking knitting precedence over the second Socktoberfest sock. I have started the sock, though. See? I think that’s about four rounds. Maybe five or six. I don’t even know. I decided that the better course of […]
Knitting red
I’m making progress on my red Green Gable sweater for the Red Sweater KAL. It’s hard to tell in this photo, but it really is big enough to go over my head. I’m knitting along (so far) on twenty-four inch circulars, so the knitting’s rather squished. At least, I hope it’ll go over my […]
Poor Dave spent all day Saturday in a business meeting, while I had a quiet yarn-y celebration at home. The Mountain Peaks shawl is draped over the couch in the family room for now, so I can see it every time I walk by, which is fairly often. Since it’s off the needles and blocked […]
I’ve been vacillating. For quite some time. Years even. I’ve come to a decision. I’m never going to knit anything with this beautiful burgundy sock yarn, so I’m going to give it away. Honestly. It’s gorgeous. I have nothing against it personally. But it’s in there, in the sock yarn drawer, with this bright red […]
