Amazingly enough, I actually have a couple of quick pictures to show! Yay! I’m surprised, what with a very busy vacation and then schedule crazies at work, but I’ll take my resource photos where I can get ’em. It doesn’t look like much of anything, but that’s because this is a sorta cast-on picture. I’ve […]
…almost literally, in fact, but we’ll get to that in a moment. That, there is part of my year-round self-sock-club. The blue socks are my February MIL’s Socks, the red pair are March’s Shur’tugal, the multicolours are the second pair of April socks (toe-up with an afterthought heel), and the really bright neon green socks […]
Yes, I know it’s been awhile since I posted. I didn’t mean to go this long, but life has this terrifying way of taking precidence. Since my last update, I managed to finish the March Socks (by April 9th…they took awhile) and I started and finished the April socks. Pictures will be forthcoming! I’m back […]
Day seven: 3rd April. Your knitting and crochet time. Write about your typical crafting time. When it is that you are likely to craft – alone or in more social environments, when watching TV or whilst taking bus journeys. What items do you like to surround yourself with whilst you twirl your hook like a […]
Day six: 2nd April. Something to aspire to. Is there a pattern or skill that you don’t yet feel ready to tackle but which you hope to (or think you can only dream of) tackling in the future, near or distant? Is there a skill or project that makes your mind boggle at the sheer time, […]
Day Four: 31st March. Where are they now? Whatever happened to your __________? Write about the fate of a past knitting project. Whether it be something that you crocheted or knitted for yourself or to give to another person. An item that lives with you or something which you sent off to charity. I don’t know […]
I’m a little late in getting this up and running. I actually missed Day 1, which will be rectified. Day Two: 29th March. Skill + 1UP Look back over your last year of projects and compare where you are in terms of skill and knowledge of your craft to this time last year. Have you learned […]
I never actually posted up any kind of pictures of the Noro Two-Row Shawl as a Finished Object. That is mainly because the one time I tried, it was with my cell phone camera, and it was less than breathtaking. Let’s just say I gave it another try: What we have here is a failure […]
Another WIP Wednesday! Things are continuing. The February Lady Sweater has pretty much gone back into procrastinatory hibernation (but will likely be pulled out when the whim strikes). The design-socks are still being kept away from cameras, and that leaves two things. Two?! Yes. Two. A Shawl! Well…whatever it is, it’s sure a bright pink. […]
I finished the Noro Shawl last week. Actually, it’s less a shawl than a small blanket that resembles an equilateral triangle. I really don’t feel like re-knitting it at this time. so it may stay that way, maybe to eventually become something useful for someone. You never know. This means that other than design-knitting, which […]
