Breathe. BREATHE. Slowly, slowly, very v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y, DON’T TENSE! Gah, trying to fix mucked up lace is a very stressful endeavor. I haven’t touched my lace project for days now because I messed up and didn’t want to deal with it. I had accidentally done two of the same pattern rows in a row, instead of [...]

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: 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.

Sunset
Saturday, March 24th, 2007I’ve always got this need, it seems, to figure out what I’m going to knit a completed handspun yarn into as soon as I finish it.

Materials, Ideas, and Learning

I’m not even pushing myself through it; I feel driven to do this despite the material. I like the feel of natural fibers, I like the thought of using [...]
Socks, Spinning, and Some Lace
Sunday, March 18th, 2007Lots going on in my knitting world lately. You know I’ve got this sock heel project going on, and I’m loving it.
