Two Finishes, Two Starts
While watching college football this afternoon/evening (half of Michigan vs. Utah, all of Cal vs. Michigan State — Go Bears!), I finished two projects and started two projects… and none of them monkeys! (Don’t worry, I’m still knitting monkeys. I just may not be posting any of the current batch until I have [...]
Change of Plans
Earlier this week at a knit night at Kate’s, while working on my 12th monkey, I was asked if I was competing in the Ravelympics. I firmly replied no, declaring myself a winter Knitting Olympics knitter only. But then Kate finished her beautiful Swallowtail Shawl, and Amanda finished her lovely Shetland Triangle Shawl… [...]
Catching Up
Wow, it’s been a long time. At this point, the main reason is that I’ve gotten out of the habit… for example, I’ve knit six more little monkeys since the first two who came to the baseball game, but I didn’t take a picture of a single one in progress or completed. Plus [...]
Matchy Matchy
Is that a purple and green Piddly bag (from the awesome Piddleloop Sewing Team) in my purple and green Imago bag (from Tom Bihn)?
With robots! I love it so much, I had to revive my hibernating Juno Regina scarf so I’d have a good matching project to use it for.
I started the scarf in [...]
March and April goals
My blogging energy/time has been low, but here’s a quick post to cover my monthly goals….
My March goals were:
Finish those secret gifts!
1.0 – the 1-ball cozy and a to-be-blogged gift.
Finish Lady Eleanor.
0.65 – I think that’s how far I was at the end of March (based on using all 10 balls, which is still uncertain).
Start [...]
February and March Goals
I can’t believe we’re already three days into March!
My February goals were:
Finish my Chinese New Year sweater.
Score: 1.0. I love it!
Finish the semi-secret Clapotis.
Score: 1.0. But no pictures until it’s sent and received.
Knit 1 top secret gift (from January’s list) and one semi-secret gift.
Score: 0.25. One is half done.
Start Lady Eleanor [...]
My Lady
When I made my Shetland Triangle Shawl, I was planning to let it replace starting Lady Eleanor in my February goals. But then I wore the shawl at work a couple of days, which led me to wish I had a warmer wrap to wear in my particularly cold office. Last Saturday night [...]
Wine
This week I received my very first wine club shipment, which had an amusing UPS label:
Helping to cover my personal information is my big project of the week — a Shetland Triangle Shawl using Dream in Color Smooshy (In Vino Veritas). On Monday I decided to postpone the Lady Eleanor I was planning to [...]
January and February Goals
My January goals were:
Knit most of my Chinese New Year sweater, but not all of it.
Score: 0.9. I’ve finished most of it, but I still have more left than I had planned.
Finish my brother’s scarf.
Score: 1.0. Finished just under the wire tonight.
Knit 2 top secret gifts.
Score: 0.5. The baby shower gifts were [...]
WIP Update
This morning I took a picture of my brother’s scarf to include in a birthday email. It’s 1/3 done and will obviously be late, but will be done by the next time I see him.
While I was at it, I got a progress shot of my Simple Knitted Bodice — I finished the body [...]
