Something has broken my blog template – I am going to blame the latest WordPress update. It has probably been like this for weeks but now I know about it, I am quite peeved. I’m going to try to fix it but honestly I’m not sure where to begin since it was fine before the [...]

Check me out…

Started the bind off tonight. I won’t lie, juggling a knitting needle with a crochet hook is not easy or fun, but it’s fairly pretty and definitely manageable, if a little slow. I expect it to take a full night, possibly spilling over into two depending on how bonkers it makes me. That puts me [...]

I did seven rows last night, and eight rows tonight…I’m up to 176!!! Only 14 rows to go! Ooooh yes, it *will* happen.

The race is on…

I have a wedding to go to on August 1. I stupidly let the flower shawl lay in my bag all these months, even though I had the idea in JANUARY that I might wear this shawl to this wedding. Then I thought, “I don’t even know what dress I’m wearing; it might not match”. [...]

New year, new goals?

I am SO not a New Year’s resolution kind of person. However, I am glad that 2008 is over, and I’m looking forward to better things (I hope) for 2009. One of the many things that dissatisfied me in 2008 was my apparent inability to finish a project without screwing it up terribly. There have [...]

Yesterday I went to the New York Sheep and Wool Festival. It was a gorgeous day and I had a great time! I am crap and forgot to bring my camera (again!) so no pictures of anything, except what I bought – which is not as much as I would have thought! I had to [...]

Manon is big. Manon is SO big, there’s nothing that can be done. It’s 6 balls worth of knitting to rip out, which is a lot, but it must happen. Not only was the size the wrong choice, but the yarn stretched quite a bit. This is something a gauge swatch can not tell you, [...]

The short version
August 6th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Update
This is what has been going on with me. My Leaf Kimono top has taken a bit of a turn. It’s all sewed up, but it is comically short looking, despite matching the finished measurements. It is justifiably wide. But a garment needs a suitable length to compensate for its width, otherwise you get what [...]

Maryland Sheep and Wool
May 6th, 2008 · No Comments · Update
Maryland Sheep and Wool was fabulous. Need I say more? Well, yes probably a little. Here is my haul: (click to make big!) It’s all nicely labelled via Photoshop, but I shall elaborate. We stopped at Tess’ Designer Yarns first. It was a mob scene as per usual, but it’s totally worth it. The sock [...]
