(Update: A better picture of the final finally finished object at the bottom!) There’s kind of a funny story behind this project. Anna and I have talked about doing no less than three, THREE, knit-a-longs for just the two of us. The first one was Tomato (Ravel It). You may have noticed her Tomato tops [...]

A Real Knitter
Posted in finished objects, glee, KFYS 2007, sockness, the knit on October 18, 2007 | 5 Comments »
First of all, THANK YOU a thousand times to you lovely people who said nice things about my blanket! Oh my gosh, I was totally overwhelmed — I thought the blanket was charming, but I didn’t expect so many of you to find it charming too. Thank you. The word “verklempt” is coming to mind [...]
Woohoo! It’s Done!

It’s finished! I did it! The Log Cabin Kureyon Blanket is complete and I am in LOVE! Yesterday was a perfect sunny day to take pictures, and last night was the perfect night to have a nice wool blanket. The temperature dropped to approximately BONE-CHILLINGLY COLD last night, and we had left our windows open [...]
Now with 500% Stronger Hands!

Last week sometime, or perhaps before that (I don’t really know, and I shall blame this not-knowing on the heat and humidity we’ve been having), Femiknitter and I formed a pact to make sure we finished up some stalled projects. Because she’s coming into Chicago this Saturday (!!!) and we’re going to Stitches Midwest together, [...]

Officially a Sock Knitter
Posted in finished objects, KFYS 2007, sockness, the knit on February 12, 2007 | 5 Comments »
I have completed my Koigu Sherbet-Berry-Sunset socks. I couldn’t be prouder. Or more addicted. Pattern: None, just Wendy’s Generic Toe-Up sock pattern over 60 stitches. Short-row toe, short-row heel. I added a 2×2 rib for a change (and also because I seem to be held in the thrall of 2×2 rib) at the leg.Yarn: 2 [...]
One of Four
Posted in blather, family, finished objects, the knit on November 11, 2006 | 3 Comments »
I have finished one of the four promised bridesmaid gifts. This one is Maribeth’s scarf, finished posthaste after a pointed observation about the growing chill in the air. It’s the FO I mentioned before, and here it is all pinned out for her block party. Heh. Left = before; right = during. I love how [...]
The Day of the Dyed
Posted in blather, finished objects, the dyepot on November 7, 2006 | 8 Comments »
First: Did you go VOTE? Warning: This post contains many pictures (but really, you should expect this from me by now). I apologize to anyone using dial-up internet service. Credit Where Credit is Due: I followed Nicole’s great tutorial on dyeing yarn in her dorm room. As my kitchen resembles a broom closet, her instructions [...]
Finishing a finished object, again
Posted in blather, finished objects, the knit on November 2, 2006 | 4 Comments »
Perhaps you remember my Olympic Hat? It was my first project in-the-round, my first shot at dpns (I’m still not sure if I love them or hate them… it’s a fine line), my first picked-up hem, and my first bout of I-cord. It was many things for me. It was also too big. It being [...]
