Remember this? Yeah, I frogged that. I just had a hard time accepting the way the colors wanted to line up across a large number of stitches. So I frogged the crap out of that sock and cast on a baktus. Naturally, that was fine until I’d worked about an inch and then blech. So [...]

So Many Plans
Posted in Knitting, life, Zombies on October 12, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Yesterday I cleaned the house. Really cleaned it, for the first time in a good long while, thanks to that dreaded fatigue I’ve been struggling with. I put stuff away, I pulled out appliances and wiped the counters behind them. The only thing I didn’t do, even though it’s long overdue, was clean out the [...]

1. I’m such a big fat liar. I never stopped by here this weekend to post pictures of my knitting. Mostly it’s because this weekend was kind of weird and partly because I haven’t taken any pictures of knitting in a good long while. 2. I have knitted the first section of my Catkin, the [...]

I finished up My sister’s shawl while we were on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard. (We had a positively lovely time, by the way. The Mister took the boys fishing and we drove all around the island to look at all the lighthouses. It was fun.) I don’t have any pictures of the finished shawl just [...]

Well, I’ve been working on the edge of the Blue Blossom shawl for a few days now. Man, oh man, is it tedious. The thing is knitted on sideways and incorporates 3 of the shawl stitches into every repeat. I think that means I am doing 100 or so repeats of the edge (6 rows [...]

I’ve had a pretty little ball of Classic Elite Inca Print in my stash for a long time now. I think it was the first alpaca yarn I ever purchased and, until now, I could never figure out what to do with it. Now that it’s officially the middle of August and with giftmas fast [...]
Extinct Invertebrate, Knitted

Ezra has been on a sea-creature kick lately. It all started with seals and penguins, but has evolved into octopuses and other coleiods. When he found the ammonite fossil I keep in my desk drawer, he demanded a knitted version. Luckily there was already a pattern for one. [ravelry] As you can tell, he really [...]
A Brief Update

OMG you guys, I am insanely excited for tonight. I’m scheduled for a sleep study at the hospital where I’m to be evaluated for sleep apnea, the likely cause of this fatigue I’ve been struggling with. I’ll be hooked up to all manner of sensors and they will watch me sleep to see how it [...]

Hey, check it out, I remembered to get the photos I took off my camera! Michael’s had some exciting new Lily colorways the last time I was there, so I picked up a bunch of them. This one is the dishrag I have on the needles right now. No, I don’t have a picture of [...]
Another Dishrag Down

While I was out running errands with the boys yesterday, I finished up another of my traveling dishrags. As you can see, this one is a lovely variegated blue. [ravelry] You’ll have to wait until tomorrow for pictures of the new one.
