Clicking Along
I know it’s Whisker’s on Wednesday. Tobey looks about the same, but he’s still not feeling well. I let him out of sick bay for awhile, but after he rewarded me with bad behavior, back in he went. You know when they don’t meow or bang the door they really are sick. I’ve called the [...]
P is for Progress
I’ve spent the weekend cleaning and trying to make some progress on some of my older of WIP’s.
First off these Summer of Love Lace Socks… I think maybe a year old.Next up I’ve been crocheting the border on my Danish Tie Shawl. Almost done and I’m starting to love it as it’s all coming together.
Eye Candy Friday
Whew - TGIF and I’m so happy.
Here’s some of the great sheep we saw last week.Another Rib Warmer
I promise I will get a FO picture with it on, but here it is first. It looks much better on than on the hanger, so to speak.
This is such a fun, mindless, rhythm knit when you need to just relax in front of the TV. I can’t wait to knit another of [...]
Making Hay While The Sun Shines
So it’s been a stressful few days with a lot more work than I’m used to, but like Mom used to say - you gotta make hay while the sun shines. I did manage to get some knitting in last night on my next rib warmer, but I have to get my wheel back [...]
Happy New Year’s Eve
It’s snowing again out right now and we will be celebrating a quiet New Year’s Eve at home. I think I will try to finish my bunny slipper’s or get out my wheel.
I do have one final finished project of the season. Remember that 250 yards I spun this week. Well I went for it [...]The Rib Warmer
The best thing about this project is it’s great for handspun - it is so forgiving. If you remember this was cormo and I tried the spinning for softness and speed technique. One ball was a bit larger than the other two and I used every last bit. It’s is so [...]
Made the Turn
I made the second turn and am now coming up the back on the Rib Warmer vest. This has been my latest mindless knitting - activity. I’m also hoping to have this one out next week as well.
This is the cormo that I spun.
Holiday Knitting Continues
So let’s see, I have to have everything mailed by the 18th at the latest…. hmm this is going to be interesting.
I’m doing one rib warmer - this is the white yarn I spun using Paula’s method of spinning with softness and speed. It ended up in a dye pot last week and became this [...]Butterfly - A Finished Object
So, it’s my birthday today and we’re off to an early supper at a trendy little tapas place. You know leftovers on your birthday simply won’t cut it. However, first I have to show off my Butterfly out of Noro that is finally done. Well it has been done for a while [...]
