First the fun stuff… I got a heck of a lot done on the cardigan during Thanksgiving, despite some time where I was just too full to knit. I’ve finished the waist decreases and started the bust increases. I just know if I wasn’t avoiding this due to Christmas knitting I’d zoom right through to completion [...]

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.

It’s Alive!
Monday, November 19th, 2007Last night, distracting myself from Christmas knitting with handspun, I plied up a little sample of some lace weight merino. I’ve already finished two spindle-fulls, and was trying to decide if I wanted to finish it all 2-plied or not. I do, of course. For some reason I just can’t not ply my yarns. I [...]

I already have two cables, so I got a set of size 4 and 5s. Finally they came in yesterday, and I’m telling you I was excited. [...]
Fun Knitting vs. Christmas Knitting

He’s been wanting more winter gear, mittens to be specific. I had to either knit him some mittens soon, or he would buy some. You may [...]
