Knitting
Day After Regret
I don’t regret frogging the Sheep Shawl. I wasn’t very far into it and it wasn’t working out. What I am having second thoughts about is casting on Juno Regina with that Baruffa Cashwool that I wound on Saturday. The pattern is working out–I like it and it likes me. Also, the yarn is both […]
Rip It, Rip It Good
Let’s please have a moment of silence for the Sheep Shawl who suffered two critical and ultimately fatal injuries this Valentine’s Day. Two yarn overs were missed. Although the knitter diligently used a lifeline, the errors occurred in the lifeline row. Here and here. The knitter’s patience with the project ran out, and she made […]
One Down…
…one to go. Please note that I have already started the second to avoid Second Sock Syndrome. A three hour training session not only helps a knitter to avoid SSS but makes her darned happy to have a second sock to knit. I also got yarn mail today. Witch Bear approves.
Stealthy Startits
Startitis got tricksy yesterday. After I organized my stash, Startitis pointed out that a snow day shouldn’t have to settle for just any ol’ knitting project–such a fine holiday deserves a brand new project. Perhaps Sheldon or that new blue sock yarn. Luckily my chilly feet pointed out that if I work on the sockotta […]
Snow Day Fever
Due to icy roads, I have one whole glorious day home alone. I can watch whatever I want, play whatever I want, knit whatever I want. So what to I do to start this most fabulous of days? I cleaned out our clothes closet. I’m still not sure what possessed me to spend several hours […]
New Addition to our Household
Don’t panic Linda, I’m not pregnant. But I’m not sure I could love a child more than I love this: Matt got me a swift for Christmas. He, Matt M., and I struggled for 2 hours trying to untangle 2 skeins of Noro Daria, and to preserve our sanity, he got me Mr. Spinny up […]
Back in the Saddle
I promised myself that I wouldn’t do it, but my husband asked very sweetly this morning. And this is the first time that he’s ever asked me to knit anything for anybody. But it looks like I will be making another one of them. That’s right–They’re baaaaaack! They are becoming a Christmas tradition. Next year, […]
When Your Mojo Takes a Vacation
My mojo took a vacation. Now, I have had missing mojo difficulties before in the past–usually when a particular project was kicking my butt. But switching projects for a bit would work miracles. This time was different–one day, I simply put the needles down and didn’t pick them up again for 3 months. World of […]
WoW!
Uh-oh! I haven’t been getting much knitting done. Having finished Neverwinter Nights 2, I downloaded the trial version of World of Warcraft. This may have been a mistake. Is it possible for a game to be too fun? I do have a little bit of knitting news: I have finally made it back to SnB […]
