OK, so maybe my handspun yarn isn’t quite good enough yet for a dedicatory ode. However, I’m finding it much more interesting than some of the knitting updates that I’ve been avoiding on this blog lately (ahem…chevron scarf). I’ve done a little dyeing lately on my handspun that’s just been sitting in my knitting stuffs basket. [...]

Comment: Ooo, very pretty. What kind of a heel is that - regular short row? Yes, knitting socks for other people is always tricky. I figure you have to trust the measurements!

Comment: Thank you! Yes, I figured that garter stitch would trap more air and be more warm.

Comment: You’re so on top of things with your Christmas knitting already underway! I’ve just barely started to think about mine. I have a feeling it’ll be plenty of dishcloths … always useful and machine washable.

Serendipity
Tuesday, September 26th, 2006I started a new project recently, after seeing a co-worker wear a pink head scarf on her head. Forget the pink; it was the scarf that I really liked. I decided that I was going to knit my own in a wonderful green. I’ll make this part of the story short: I knit and ripped [...]
Working With Your Own Design
Wednesday, September 13th, 2006I’m completed with the knitting part of my pouch/purse, and I’m excited to get the other parts finished. I’m pretty happy with what I have on the front, although unfortunately you can’t really see it in detail. My camera doesn’t take really close up knitting well. You can imagine celtic braiding on each side, and [...]
The Purse/Pouch
Friday, September 8th, 2006I started a new project, forgetting all about the in progress projects I have going. When I’ve got an idea, I just need to go with it! I’ve got some Cash Iroha that I wanted to create a purse/pouch out of. This idea has been stewing in my mind for a few weeks, and I [...]
What to Blog
Thursday, September 7th, 2006I find myself not posting very often due to a lack of pictures. I get lazy sometimes, and don’t want to fiddle with setting up a nice place to take pictures of my latest work. Plus, seeing progressive pictures of just a few more rows of the recent pieces is kind of boring, and they [...]
Alterations to Kri-Kerchief
Sunday, September 3rd, 2006Kara, a fellow crafter and LibriVox friend has finished her own kri-kerchief, and told me that she made a few alterations. Instead of plain stockinette on the band around the head, she did a ribbing. Honestly, I intended to do a ribbing but forgot, and it turned out good anyway! She also smoothed out the [...]
Shawl, DONE
Friday, September 1st, 2006Now, do I give it to Mom or not? I really don’t know if it’s something she’ll wear, and I can’t just ask her. That doesn’t work! I’ve considered giving it to Grammy too, because I’m sure she has trouble keeping herself as warm as she used to. I’m also considering keeping it because….even with [...]
