Halfway done with sleeve 1 and no disasters so far! It helps that they are pretty short sleeves. I haven’t had a lot of time to knit over the last couple days, but hopefully starting Thursday there will be lots more time. At least for a couple of days!
The second body piece of Forest Weave is done! I finished knitting it last night, then decided to wash and dry both pieces. The yarn is plain linen, so it is a little stiff and crumpled right off the needle. The next part is sewing the shoulder seams, and then the sleeves get picked up… Continue reading Off to Sleeve Island
This is a Rock-Climbing cowl that I am knitting with one of my souvenir skeins from Sin City Knit Shop in Las Vegas. It has been in my desk drawer at work for the last couple weeks as my lunch/boring phone meeting project. I’m kind of jazzed to be using a souvenir skein so soon… Continue reading Yep – Another Cowl

Here is the result (other than a pair of fingerless mitts I keep in my desk at work). Total count: 5 gloves or mittens 6… Continue reading No Cold Necks On My Watch
I’m registered to go to Vogue Knitting Live in Seattle this March! So excited! 🙂

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
