KNITSTER

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. [...]

OK, I was very excited to make a new tank from the Yarn Girls’ Beyond the Basics book that involved a cable in the middle of the front panel of the tank. I figured that with only one cable to worry about, that would be a good project to tackle as a first cable [...]

I’m in the final stages of the baby blanket for my sister’s baby, who is due 3 weeks from today. I just have one more pattern section to do, and the final border, and then I’m done! HOORAY! There are goof ups left and right in this thing, but heck, it’s handmade, she can’t [...]

OK– the sweater is done. I just have to snip the ends of straggling yarn off one sleeve, wash and block it, and sew the buttons on now. Woo-hoo! It’s a good thing too, as my FIL will be coming this week, and this way, I can send it to my cousin/niece Amelia. I [...]

Originally, my father-in-law and a business partner were supposed to come visit this weekend. They bailed out, and have since rescheduled to come in about a week or so. Before they bailed, it occurred to me that I’ve always promised that I was going to make a cardigan sweater for my cousin/niece, Amelia, who is [...]

I finished up the mate to the sock you saw in my last sock entry this morning, and Drew wore them to school proudly today. He liked wearing “rainbow” socks to school, for sure. When I asked him what other people thought of his socks, he said they thought they were cool.
So, here I [...]
