I’ve started over on my mother’s Spring Forward socks, and somehow managed to lose one of the needles. I figure it must have dropped off the couch when I was moving around last night, but despite combing through the entire living room, I can’t find the little bugger. I can substitute a Harmony needle, but […]
Pattern: Flame Chevron Scarf by Rebecca LaRoseYarn: Pagewood Farms Denali sock yarn in the Sky Blue Pink colorwayNeedles: size 2 It was definitely down to the wire, but I finished the scarf for my MIL last night! Granted, it’s going to be wrapped in its unblocked form, as there’s no way I could get it
Well, I’ve pretty much dropped out of the blogging world lately. (Let’s face it, I’m not even turning on the home computer as much as I normally would.) This is mainly because I’ve been concentrating on the Christmas knitting while I’ve actually been home. The above is the nearly finished Spring Forward sock #1 (man,
And here’s last night’s work on my mother’s Spring Forward socks. The pattern is what I can only describe as wicked easy. I flew through the above in no time flat last night, and probably have done twice as much if I hadn’t had some chores to do. I’m not sure I’m in love with
Christmas item number two is done! (And as a side note, can I just say how much I miss it being light for at least a little while when I get home from work? This picture is not the best.) Pattern: Nereid GlovesYarn: Socks that Rock Raven Clan in the Thraven colorway, medium weightNeedles: Size
My Sundara Artist’s Choice Yarn Collection arrived today. I’d gotten the mixed palette, figuring that was probably the best way to score some blue, as well as the warmer tones I like. I figured I’d get two colors that I really liked, and one I could trade for something else. I got better than that.
Nereid glove #1 is done! I managed one and half gifts in the month of November. Woot! I’m definitely enjoying this pattern, but I think I’m glad I’m doing Pomatomus as a mitt rather than a sock. I’m not sure I’d like how this fabric feels on my feet. But it sure looks cool and
Yesterday, not being much of a hordes of insane shoppers fan, and with the BF working, I decided to head into town to see Twilight. Of that, I’ll only say that I’m about fifteen years too old to be able to sit through that movie with a completely straight face. That being said, I did
I actually cast on holiday knitting item two a couple of days ago, but only just finally got around to taking a picture of it. You’ll notice I’m not necessarily that far along, as the pattern is a bit more fiddly than the last one I completed. These are Nereid Fingerless Gloves, which are based
Christmas gift number one is done! Pattern: Pulsations SocksYarn: Spunky Electic Supernova yarn in the Happy Ending colorwaySize 3 needles This is a great, easy pattern that I was able to fly through. I’d definitely consider making it again, but perhaps with a slightly less busy colorway. The yarn’s great, and I’d also definitely buy
