Sorry, no photos for you today. We got home from TNNA in Columbus at 5:30 yesterday evening, and are still recovering. It was an awesome trip. I can’t even begin to tell you how glad we are that we went. We met fabulous folks, each took a class, met fabulous folks, went to the ballgame […]
Our local library bookstore had a sale again on Saturday, so we went. The last time we went we brought home two bags of books for $2.00 per bag. It worked out to 16 books for $.25 each. This week we got 20 books into one bag, so the books were only $.10 each. I […]
The diamond rows are all done. Next up: inserting a lifeline, and knitting the flowers at the top of the shawl. But I’ve changed my mind. The more I think about it, the more I want the first row of flowers to line up with the last row of diamonds. It’d just be nicer, don’t […]
After finishing up the left front shoulder, I decided that the only thing I could do to the right one was to rip it back, pick up that dropped stitch, and re-knit it. Luckily at that spot the front only had 17 stitches, decreasing every other row down to ten stitches, so really it didn’t […]
As you know, I’ve been trying to clear out my project pile while I’m impatiently waiting for the yarn to arrive from Posh Yarn. Would you believe that except for the secret project everything is done except that brown dress I started more than a year ago? I know. Hard to imagine.
The other thing […]
I succumbed to peer yarn pressure yesterday, and cast on for the scarf I swatched over the weekend with the Douceur et Soie from Knit One Crochet Too. Oh. My. It’s like knitting with air. Only softer.
The cables are soft and dreamy. The lace perfection. Because of the combination of knit and purl stitches […]
Well, I can photograph it. That doesn’t take brilliance—point the camera and push the button. But the color? Beyond me. It’s a dusty blue, but rich. If I knew more about color, I’m sure I’d be able to fix it in Photoshop, but no. I know enough about color to really mess it up. But […]
Site move
You may have noticed the complete absence of my blog and/or pattern shop over the last few days. It’s because we moved to a new server, and as the way of such things, our new location takes a bit to trickle through the Internet at large. My other pages are moving today, well, the […]
I still don’t have any current knitting pictures for you. I think I knit a whole two or three rounds on my sleeve yesterday. I was just too tired to knit. Don’t you hate it when that happens?
Without any effort (yesterday, anyway) on my part, I did make progress on Syncopation: I got the edits […]
I finished up a In the Woods shawl chart last night, and was too lazy to print out the next one. Good thing I had a sock to work on!
I’m actually a little farther than this now. I took these pictures two days ago, hoping to use them in my Wednesday post. Hem. I’m […]
