UGH The front of this vest gave me such a hassle! I had to undo and redo the front b/c of the friggin cables TEN TIMES. Now I am on a roll with Grey Poupon:
That pink and blue thing in the picture is one of the point protectors I made with my homemade clay. I [...]
PHEW!!! I finally got the back finished at 9pm tonight. I will probably start the other one either later tonight if I can’t sleep or tomorrow sometime. It is amazing to see something come together like this. Can you see the blue pyramid in the middle? I can. I love the colors. If the yarn [...]
I just learned how to throw English style yesterday while watching Knitty Gritty. Something about the way the lady on television was doing it just finally clicked for me. I have found that I enjoy purling continental and knitting English. It goes much faster for me than just knitting and purling continental. I am flying [...]
It’s electric! Glasses case
This was my interim project so that I didn’t just start another sweater right away. I was going to crochet it but I didn’t have enough yarn to do that so it ended up being knitted on my size 8 circulars. I wanted to try the magic loop method and I was [...]
Well in terms of the pattern I was basing my work from, yes this sweater is done. BUT In my head, after trying it on, I find that my shoulders are FREEZING so I am going to make two bands to go across there

Okay we are down to the most tedious part of this process to date. I am fighting my way through the last boring ribbing rows of this sweater and praying that it fits when I am done. I did all my measurements and calculations. I did all the adjusting and fixing. It’s nearly the moment [...]
Here we are in the last stages of the sweater I began on the 26th of December 07. I have about 6 inches more to go up the top and then I am supposedly finished. I had a few snags in the middle, like when I added the sleeve parts they left holes on either [...]
double pointed needle knitting
SO this is what I spent the better part of my day doing. I am in my rythym now, even though I am taking heaps of breaks because I have to do stuff IRL *blech*. This is the beginning of the first sleeve of my sweater. I am not a bit over [...]
SO here is the AcountryMint Sweater at eleven inches. I took the little blue streak you see forming at the top and made it back into the mint color. I didn’t like the design in my head anymore, so I learned how to change it without taking out 6 rows of work. I did this [...]
OMG So yesterday I was angrily knitting away when I felt a sickening downward movement in my right hand. What happened? My metal circular size 2 BROKE!!!! I was angry *I won’t go into why* and I was stitching like a mad person. I got through 3 and a half rows and then it snapped. [...]
