It’s official: I’m addicted to lace. It’s so much fun to knit - always interesting, the pattern slowly evolving and changing as you go. The thin yarn on larger needles makes the knitting fly, and it grows swiftly. But the best part? Once you’ve cast off, and soaked it in a nice wool-wash bath, you [...]

You may remember that I took part in the Ravelry Scarf Exchange. The deadline to have the scarf mailed out was December 1 - and then the New Year came and went, and I had not heard from my pal or received a scarf.
In mid-January, I was assigned a wonderful angel in KnitMongrel form. [...]

I started this when Dan and I went to a double feature in July. JULY. I knit through both of the movies, made some progress, and then have slowly been whittling away at it since then. It’s a lot of scarf.
Based on the Harry Potter Scarves, it’s just a giant tube knit on a 16″ [...]

I did.
I tried to keep it simple, and didn’t knit for that many people.
One of the gifts has not been given yet, so it shall remain a mystery for the time being.
The Holiday Gift pile at my parents!
My major project was the sweater vest for my stepfather. I did most of the knitting and [...]

Hair’s looking a little better.
I knit the first Elegant Gauntlet in less than a week. I immediately cast on for the second one, knit about four inches on it… and then put it aside. For two months. [Oddly enough, when I knit my first pair of Elegant Gauntlets back in2004, I did the [...]

It’s finished. It fits. It’s wonderful.
Please excuse my rumpled sheets.
It is an Elizabeth Zimmerman style seamless yoke sweater, made to my gauge and shape according to directions found in “Knitting Without Tears.” The pattern is from the Moorish Patterned Pullover from the Winter 2003 Interweave Knits - [...]

Movie Date.
I had a very nice date with the boyfriend yesterday. We saw the Harry Potter movie in IMAX (with 20 minutes of 3D action!), had a nice lunch, shopped, and then saw Hairspray (no 20 minutes of 3D action, but AMAZING movie that you have to see - I might be a theatre geek, [...]

Finished Objects
I bought two skeins of super soft, very cuddly, worsted Malabrigo a few weeks ago, and decided that it needed to be a scarf. It’s a lovely semi-solid in a bright green - they call it Lettuce. I call it love. I cast on about 25 or so stitches on [...]

I had two days off this weekend. Yes, that’s right: two days off. IN A ROW. It was awesome.
I knit a lot. Also slept a lot.
And my mother came over and cleaned my kitchen. And ate tacos.
Did I mention it was awesome?
This is where my knitting leaves when it [...]
