Double Duty

Today’s blog is a combination of FO Friday and ECF (Eye Candy Friday). See? I’ve had these two shawls finished for some time now, but haven’t yet blogged them as FOs. Both are gifts. One of them was being held back for final updates until the recipient had gotten it, since she reads the blog. [...]

Not What I Had Planned

But that’s okay. Sometimes life gets wonky on us. I certainly hadn’t planned on sleeping late this morning, nor on traffic being heavier than expected. I had planned a blog post, already written, just waiting on WiP pictures. And then I didn’t take the pictures last night (deciding to wait for this morning’s sun) so [...]

WiP Weds ~ 4.27.11

I have a new WiP to show you today! Look – a new sock! Do any of you know what this means? Yup – it means there’s a finished sock post in the works! Hooray! But in the meantime, new sock! This is the second sock of the Emergency Backup Socks. Sadly, I didn’t get [...]

WiP Weds ~ 4.20.11

. . . and time has gotten away from me again. This past weekend I was supposed to do some writing, create a Round of Words #2 blog post, and various other things online that just didn’t happen. I got a lot done, but it wasn’t on the things I had originally intended. I did [...]

Nearly There

I’m nearly done with my Cubist socks! Yay! (Which, sadly, means I will have one less reason to do gift knitting. Though, I also have some cute things I’m planning on knitting for gifts, so that should be good.) Anyway, here’s the current state of the second Cubist sock: I’m on the toe decreases for [...]

FO: Annis Shawl

So, remember how I said on Wednesday I’d have a finished object to show off soon? Well, soon is now. The Annis shawl has been finished! I love the way it turned out. I used Kauni yarn, and while I suspect it will be a little on the itchy side, it is lovely enough that [...]

WiP, WiP!

I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves today. (Only 3 pictures of 2 projects, but still. I’m rushing this morning.) Needless to say, though, looking at these it appears I will have some FOs to show off soon.

WiP Wednesday – The “For Me” Edition

About a week ago I was knitting, and losing interest in what I was working on. I think I figured out why, because since that point in time I’ve been much more enthusiastic about knitting. The problem? I’d been working on things for other people, and not the things for me. Granted, gift knitting is [...]

The Nupps Have It

(Look! It’s a knitting WIP post! Oooohh… wow. You know what this means, don’t you? I finally remembered to take pictures!) So a while ago, I got mad at the stole I was knitting. A stitch slid off the needle when I wasn’t ready for it to, and it dropped quite a ways back, causing [...]
