2850 yards

May 4, 2008

Wow, that’s a lot of yarn to wind at once. The Cherry Tree Hill was 2400 yards, making the biggest ball of yarn I’ve ever seen: This is going to be a Follow the Leader Faroese Shawl for Mom. Actually, I’ve already started it and I’m a whole…11 rows in. The sock yarn, Stitchjones Superwash [...]

artichokes for dinner

May 4, 2008

I think I could eat artichokes every day of my life. This was tonight’s dinner–along with some tater tots. Well, the sun never did decide to show itself today so I didn’t take any knitting-related pictures (thus the picture of my dinner instead). However, I did finish the Twisted Sky Socks! They’re awesome and I [...]

flair!

May 3, 2008

It’s done, it’s done, it’s finally done! I took pictures, but the light was weird. So bear with me a bit here… This one is pretty true to the color: This one shows the texture, etc., better: And here’s a better look at the cute buttons: Laid out flat like that, it looks a bit [...]

seizing up

May 2, 2008

Do you ever sit down to write a blog post and nothing coherent wants to come out? I have all sorts of topics I could discuss, from knitting to upcoming house projects to Nik’s vision problems. But I’ve started this post about five times already and…meh. So…I’ll save the majority of it until another time. [...]

woohoo!

April 16, 2008

I finished my first Twisted Sky Sock today! As soon as it was done, I ran to the kitchen and plopped it on the scale. It only weighs 50 grams! I’m going to have 13 or 14 grams leftover! No more worrying about running out of yarn. I will be casting on for the mate [...]

there’s a heel!

April 15, 2008

Thanks to Melly, a kind reader and Ravelry member, I was able to continue on to the heel of my sock while I was away. Now I’m done with the heel and working on the foot! I’ve been getting a bit worried over the size of this sock. Notice how long the leg is? I [...]

oh no!

April 12, 2008

We’re out of town for the weekend, and I’ve been making such great progress on my first Twisted Sky sock that I thought maybe I’d finish it by the time we got home again. Then, about halfway to Ocean Shores, WA, from Portland, I discovered this: !! I photocopied the pages from my book so [...]

sock progress!

April 11, 2008

I’m making good progress on my Twisted Sky Socks–down to the top of the ankle on the first one now. Someone at work today pointed out how the colors are pooling in that sorta chevron pattern. Heh. I hadn’t even noticed–guess I’m always too close to it. Boy, did it show up when I took [...]

a day of rest

April 9, 2008

As a sort of reward for working 13 hours yesterday, my boss gave me the day off today. I could go in, but…eh, I think I’ll enjoy a lazy day. I’m still working on getting my energy/endurance back after the latest surgery, so it’s probably best not to push myself too hard. (Which is why [...]

knitting foliage

April 8, 2008

Hey, look, knitting content! I was in a bit of a knitting slump during February and March. It’s not that I didn’t want to knit, really, it’s just that I became a bit…obsessed. With the Sims 2. Um, yeah, it’s hard to knit while you’re playing computer games. So last week I decided that what [...]
