In addition to the classes and the pervasive knittiness in the air, the other great thing about this event was the shopping. The vendor room was BIG – a whole grand ballroom – and the list of vendors was 2 double-column pages long. So much yarn! Of course, not every shop was going to be… Continue reading VK Live 2 – The Shoppening
I interrupt my story about VK Live – will get back to that tomorrow. I finished my Gray Cardigan! It fit great and exactly what I wanted. It will work great with my wardrobe, and is basically perfect. Sigh! So happy! The yarn is Ironstone Warehouse Flake Cotton, which as far as I know is… Continue reading Gray Cardigan is Done!
Just got back from Vogue Knitting Live in San Francisco! Mom and I went for three days (and a day of travel on each end of that) and had a great knitty time! There was so much going on, I’m going to do a couple of posts on this trip. Too much to write in… Continue reading VK Live! Part 1
We had a moose in our yard this evening! Here he is… I acknowledge that this is yet another blog post on my knitting blog that has no knitting. If it helps, I was knitting when I caught sight of him 🙂 But it was so cool to see him this close, and wanted to… Continue reading Moose!
I don’t think I’ve ever talked about what a typical Saturday out and about looks like for me. But a few weekends of sticking close to the house made me realize again how fun it it is to get out in Anchorage and do our “errands”. We started downtown, as my Mom wanted to pick… Continue reading Out and About Weekend
Yes, sorry – another sleeve joke 🙂 That’s what I have been working on – sleeves. Although these are short (elbow length) sleeves, they seem to be taking forever to knit. In reality, it’s been a little less than a week. It just feels like so much longer! Two more inches to go, then I… Continue reading A Call to Arms
I once again spent the weekend making something for my sheep doll rather than doing any serious knitting for myself, or indeed anything much else at all. Although I do in fact have the kit for her next official pattern, I decided to try my hand at designing something for her myself – a pareo!… Continue reading Dolores is Beach-Ready!
The Gray Cardigan fronts are done and sort of blocking! As you can tell from these photos, by “blocking” I mean I soaked them and then squeezed most of the water out of them, and then patted them more or less into shape on my washer and dryer, where they will lay until they are… Continue reading Fronts and Center!
I have been holding off on writing because I’m so close to finishing the fronts of my Gray Cardigan. So close! But alas, they are not done quite yet. So hopefully I will have a picture of a finished part to share tomorrow! How are your projects going?
