So it seems that I’m doing everything but blogging around here. I’ve been writing, working on my class, crewel embroidery, and knitting up a storm. I have a little coat nearly done for Coco, but I’m not 100% happy with it. I’m going to keep going and hope it looks cute once I’m done. I’m [...]

So I have two more finishes… a long and painful one and a quick knit one. First the this is the Cocoon scarf, knit with Kidsilk Haze which is not one of my favorite yarns. However, the finished project is very lovely as Madison agrees. This is going to Mom. She’s also getting this extra-warm [...] Not together of course… First up I changed the colors to purple, white and black for the Wintergreen Gloves (free Rav Pattern). These are coming along, but a little neglected at this point. Another neglected project are my slugs. I want to do two more and his one still needs lips and eyes… whoops. First off – finally got a picture of me in Gretel. I blocked it out and I’m glad now I didn’t make the slouchy. This is just the regular. I’ve thought about re-wetting it and getting down to a smaller size. Alpaca does block out well. Please excuse the crazy picture. I took with with [...] Since I had nearly a whole ball left after finishing Gretel, I decided that I needed to make a pair of Fetching. You know…the ones that everyone has made. I have to say – the more I work with this KnitPicks yarn – the more I’m liking it. I can see a gorgeous, cozy sweater [...] I loved this hat the first time I saw it. Since, I’m a hat person it was just a matter of time until I knit it. After a little break when I knit the socks for my swap pal, I got back to it and it worked up fairly fast. It is a little tricky [...] I’ve been wanting to try the new City Tweed by Knit Picks and thought Gretel would be the perfect project to test out this yarn. I would just hate to do an entire sweater and have it fuzz up or something. I’m just a little concerned that the alpaca is going to cause shedding. I [...] I finished La Novia last night. This is going to be one of those really warm, snuggly scarf. Just needs a good blocking now and it’s going to take a little while to pin it all out right. I think it will be worth it as it will open the pattern up. So last night [...] So when I finished February Lady Sweater, which will get buttons soon, I picked up La Novia again and I’m almost done. I’d probably be done a little faster, but I’ve been browsing the web looking at an old-timey past-time. Letter writing. I miss getting actual mail. Anyway I found this cool site – The [...] I think I may have used up all my energy points this month already. I’m just flat out tired right now and have been trying to get to the blog, but between rest and blogging. Rest wins out, so this is a bit of a catch up post. Last Friday I took the day off [...]  |
