I keep meaning to work on the sleeves for Robin’s sweater, but I keep getting distracted. That’s about an inch or two of Stephen West’s Clockwork being knit in two different colourways of Kroy sock yarn on size 5 straight needles. Colour A is “Gentry Gray” and colour B is “Burnished Sierra Stripe”. I was […]
I am trying to defiantly not feel guilty about not blogging like I feel I should. Work is still rather challenging at this time, and the writing isn’t the only thing suffering. For starters, I haven’t managed to make it in to the gym in the past month or so. My diet is very erratic, […]
I’ve been meaning to post for days. To tell the truth, I’ve had distinct feelings of “Bloggers Guilt” for not posting sooner. Part of that is due to the fact that I’ve been going through a kind of “knitter’s block”, and part of that is due to a lack of time. We’ll take it in […]
Since realizing that the sweater was at a stall, I’ve been in a bit of a funk. I’m left without a compelling sock project, and the only other project that I have on the needles that I could take to work for my breaks is a scarf. For whatever reason, I really don’t feel like […]
This is why we can’t have nice things: I have discovered that when you knit a sweater, you have a chance of one of three things happening. Either the sweater is too big, too small, or….OR…you get the dyelots mixed up. Yep. That’s exactly what happened. You can barely see it in the photo up […]
It’s been a busy week – between work and holiday visits, there hasn’t been a lot of time for taking photographs. Since I’m rocking the grave shifts this month, I haven’t had any daylight time to take decent in-progress shots, so you’ll just have to take my word for it when I tell you that […]
I’m one of those knitters who knits for her family. I tend to be pretty humble about my talents, but having had a role model like my Granny Martin (who knit for her husband, daughter, son, their spouses and their children), it’s natural that I would knit for the people I care about. It started […]
Well, I’ve gotten most of my sock knitting done for the time being, and now I’m just playing with yarn and seeing where it takes me. I could be trying to bust a move with cranking out last minute gifts, but I’m very happy to be going into my Yule celebrations without having any kind […]
So last week we completed the heel and gusset, and started our way down the foot to the toe. First things first, let’s rearrange our stitches again so that all the sole stitches are on one needle, and all the instep stitches are on the other. This will make it easier to start our […]
The needles are out and the yarn is flying. The Friday Five didn’t get released before I turned in this morning so instead you get this picture of what we’re doing at Swann’s Pub in Inglewood (Thanks Chels for being my unwitting model). Don’t you wish you were here? 🙂
