Picture!

This is the teddy bear I knitted for my favorite coworker’s baby shower. He and his wife were totally tickled.

Wood is good

While I haven’t written here much lately, (oy, my life is too crazy right now, believe me!), I am still finding time now and then to squeeze in some knitting time, and work on that Yarn Girls’ cable knit tank top. The back is done, and I started on the front, and started to […]

anticipaaaaaation

the aforementioned sari silk bag is almost done. if i never knit with it again i would be happy.
but…..i have the next project ready to go- the eyelet cami from ik summer 06. black hemp yarn- a good sub for the euroflax linen which has about doubled in price- almost 19 […]

Figured it out

I finally figured out how to do the cable on the tank top sweater I’m working on. Hooray! I’ll tell you the trick– it was….READING THE DIRECTIONS MORE CAREFULLY. duh. Once I did that (and paid better attention to what I was doing), then it gelled and started to come together. […]

Cable Schmable

I’m still a relatively inexperienced knitter, despite having taken up knitting more than a year ago. I have a […]

This weekend, looking for something fun and quick to do for a baby shower, I knit something small and fun. I’ll post the pictures and the info after the shower.
But I also wanted to mention–since June, I’ve been having problems with my right arm. It’s meant no knitting–tennis elbow!! But Friday I went to […]

PHOTOS! and new LYS destination

Hello all!
Well, I promised to post the photos of the dreaded baby blanket when it was done, and I finally have the photos. Ironically enough, my little nephew’s due date was today, but after seeing my sister just two days ago, it’s highly unlikely he’s coming today. She hadn’t dropped or dialated or […]

sorry silk

i have decided that i really hate knitting with sari silk. while it is beautiful, it is really a bitch to knit with. not that it is stopping me from finishing my project, but ugh.
on the needles now…..
sari silk purse. it is almost done after major alterations to the knitty pattern. […]

IT’S DONE!!!

We interrupt your nightly blog reading to inform you of the following:
It is now 11:54 PM on July 3rd, 2006, and I have FINALLY finished the baby blanket from hell! I actually cut the project short, as I may have mentioned in a previous posting, because it’s plenty big enough for a baby. It’s […]
