That’s how my Forest Weave is going. I’m actually making decent progress, but it is not a super-fun knit. I have half a pattern repeat to go, then the back (or front – they are the same so it doesn’t matter which is which) is done! However, half a pattern repeat is still a lot… Continue reading KnitKnitKnitKnitKnit Cable!
Slightly over a year ago, I changed from my old job to a new one at the same company. You can read about it here, if you are interested. Well, as it turned out, that was not the end of me doing that job. The lady who took it over quit with very scant notice,… Continue reading I Spoke Too Soon, As It Turned Out
As I settled in to knit this evening, all I had left to do on my 2nd mitten was the thumb, and I had just one Time Team episode to do it. Could I finish? A mitten thumb is not a lot of knitting, but there were a lot of interruptions. So by the time… Continue reading Delftig Mittens Finished
We have had a busy time of it the last couple days – work is busy, a bunch of chores suddenly had to be done, Christmas shopping to be done… you know how it is. You may very well be in the same boat! Anyway, I have not had anything like as much time to… Continue reading Busy Time!
It doesn’t look like much, but this represent around half a pattern repeat since the last time you saw this piece of knitting. And since a pattern repeat is 52 rows, that’s not too terrible! It it kind of a boring knit, but I do want the top that will result when it is finally… Continue reading Imperceptible Progress
If you have been following along, you may recall that I hit on a British archaeology TV series and was bingeing away. Well, we are still on the same series! Time Team lasted 20 seasons, and they are all solid gold. We have been watching on Amazon Prime. There a couple of the earlier seasons… Continue reading More Archaeology Bingeing with a side of Knitting
Now that I have finished the first Delftig mitten and started the second, I can show you the inside (or back) of the knitting along with the outside (or front). Since they are knit in the round, the inside of the hand is sort of where all the magic happens to make the pattern. Here… Continue reading Marlisle Mitts – Insiders View
Now that everything is settling back down somewhat, I have been working away on my Delftig mitts. They are moving along pretty well – in about 10 rows or so the decreases begin for the top. The waste stitches you see on the palm side are where the afterthought thumb goes. The thumbs get knit… Continue reading Marlisle Mitts Progress
Before we left on our trip last week, I spent a fair amount of time fretting about what projects to take along with me, coming up with pros and cons for all the possibilities. As usual, I wound up over-yarning by quite a bit. I wound up taking along my Delftig marlisle mittens, the yarn… Continue reading Cowl About Town
