At last it’s finished, and I absolutely adore it! [ravelry] The colors are so bright and cheerful! And it is so warm and cozy, too! Now I can’t wait for it to get well and truly cold! Exclamation!

What, what?

After I cast off Catkin a few days ago, I came down with a rather nasty cold, and so, even though it’s technically finished, I still haven’t blocked it or sewn on the buttons. I hope to do all that today and have a photo shoot with the thing tomorrow. Meantime, I’m going to try [...]
Almost There

Here is Catkin, 2 rows shy of casting off. I have no idea how big the thing is, it’s jammed so tightly on the needles. I guess we’ll see. *girds self*
2011: My Knitting Year (As Is Tradition)
Posted in holiday cheer, Knitting, tagged happy new year, tiny toys on December 31, 2011 | 2 Comments »
[ravelry] What a productive year 2011 was! So many hats! I did quite a lot of sewing, too, evidently. Next year I hope to make several pairs of socks, to replace the 3 pairs I have lost so far this year to wear, and I’ve also promised Ezra more than a few tiny toys from [...]
Leatherhead

It’s done, and about damn time, too. This hat would’ve been done a lot sooner if I didn’t have to knit it so many times. I hope my mom likes it. Here’s how I did it: Earflaps (make 2) Cast on 9 slip 1, knit to end slip 1, yo, knit 7, yo, knit 1 [...]
This Damn Hat is Cursed
Posted in Knitting on December 12, 2011 |
So, the hell that is Christmas gift knitting continues as I try, unsuccessfully, to mash two popular knitting patterns together. The idea is to take the bottom of Thorpe and hook it on to the Unoriginal Hat. I started at the bottom, knitting two little earflaps and a garter stitch hat band and then began [...]
Bad knitting mojo stinks. I’ve cast on, almost finished, and frogged the same hat five times, and then, for a change of pace, I knit almost the entire outer sole of a felted clog on the wrong size needle. Actually, it was the very needle I was trying to make the hat with. BLAAAAARGH. How [...]
Big Day Today

1. I finally got around to picking up a couch we ordered from Ikea back at the beginning of October. Now that it is in my house I despise the color, but I know I’ll get used to it. Also, I will be able to tone it down with some contrasting throw pillows and our [...]
These Clogs Are Made For Writing

1. I made some slippers! Felted Clogs to be precise. [ravelry] I love this pattern and I’ve already committed myself to making two more pairs. One pair for the Mister and I think my sis might like a pair too. 2. I’ve been working on NaNoWriMo, but was unable to write yesterday because of some [...]
SnowtoberFest 2011
Posted in Knitting, Weather on October 29, 2011 | 1 Comment »
So we are having a bit of a snow event here today. It’s been snowing steadily since about noon and we have about 8 inches on the ground as of this writing. It’s a wild and crazy early season nor’easter! They are saying we’ll get about 15 inches of snow by tomorrow morning, which is [...]
