Though there’s still plenty to tell you about our trip to Montana, I thought it was high time I got a little more knitting content inserted into this blog.
First up. Yes. I have been knitting! When I started the lace scarf over Thanksgiving everything else got dropped like a hot potato. Now that the […]

The other day I discovered a KAL I want to join, the Fall Cable KAL 2007. I haven’t actually joined the KAL yet—at least not to my way of thinking—though I did join the group on Ravelry. There are a number of sweater patterns with cables that I want to knit… And yarns to knit […]

South Seas progress
The knitting is done. The grafting is done—all thirteen stitches of it. The ends are woven in—though not clipped. It’s laid out on the floor drying. The color in this set of photos is completely wrong. Not a thing I could do to fix it, either. Oh well. That’s what I get for […]

Color
Kristi (Fiber Fool) is doing a little color research. Here are my answers:

What is your current favorite color? Just one? I was going to say that I’ve never had just one favorite color, but that’s not quite true. It would be more accurate to say that since I became an adult I’ve always had multiple […]

As you know, I’ve been fiddling with yarn and stitch pattern books lately. I keep changing my mind. I decided a while back that I wanted to make an beaded ocean-themed stole. I have the perfect little silver-lined beads. They look like perfect little silvery bubbles of air under water when sunlight touches them. So […]

First off, I thought I’d share a photo I took where you can actually see the beads along the edge of the knitting. I’ve seen quite a few of other people’s photos now, and the best ones for showing the beads seem to be taken at a bit of an angle.

See? Beads. Yummy, sparkly, […]

Mooching
I got all caught up today at the Book Mooch site. It’s a site where you can trade old books you’ve read for new ones you want. Or new ones you’ve read for old ones you haven’t. Or something like that. I collected up a bunch of books that have been laying around here. Duplicate […]

As usual, I’m not following the pattern exactly as written. I seem to do that a lot. Hm. This time it’s because I don’t have the called-for size 15 knitting needles. The closest I could come is size 13. So, I cast on with those. Since the needles are a little smaller, I also increased […]

It’s been a while since I shared any photos of the green shawl with you, mostly because though bigger, it really hasn’t changed in quite a while. But I finished off those last two rows last night, and started binding off. I’m getting close to the half-way point, and hope to get it done tonight. […]

I knit more hours than I should have got more knitting time in than usual yesterday, and made tons of progress on my little sock. The ankle is a little loose. I don’t know if I like that, but since they’re anklets, does it really matter? I’ll wait to reserve judgment until it’s done. There’s […]
